Georgetown China Brawl: A Bad Conclusion of a Goodwill Game

It was supposed to be a game to foster stronger US-China ties. However, the game between the Georgetown Hoyas and the Bayi Rockets ended with tackles and heated exchanges of punches.  It was not the first time China was involved in an on-court fight. Chinese basketball players have reportedly been fined several thousands of dollars for bad behavior on the court.  Though it’s common for sports games to become really intense, the Chinese team certainly presented themselves in a negative light in this game.  US Vice President Joe Biden watched one of the friendly games earlier in the week.  Good thing, he was not around to witness how badly the American team was treated not just by the opponents but the game officials as well.
