Wheelchair Basketball

Wheelchair basketball players can do some amazing things. It's impressive. But after the 20th game in a week, you get a little cynical about the whole thing. At least it turned up some funny (and political) news today.

My phone woke me up. The first game had been canceled because one team wasn't going to show. Fine. I figured they failed a few drug tests (which happens) or maybe it had come out that most of team can actually walk (Spain did it to win gold in Sydney).

I get to work and find out the team that packed it up and left was Iran. The reason? Basically 'we think the bracket for knockout round is unfair'. So their opponent got to sleep in this morning and won on a forfeit with a fixed score. USA 20 - Iran 0.

Here's a kick-ass dance party.
