FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The two Koreas are divided by the world’s most militarised border and remain
technically at war after an armistice stopped the Korean War in 1953.
Locog blamed a video producer from a production company for the row.
Organisers refused to name the person responsible but said they had offered
to resign over the gaffe.
IOC president Jacques Rogge insisted it was a “simple human mistake”
and “there was no political connotation”.
David Cameron today sought to play down the blunder, saying it was an “honest
mistake” and adding: “We shouldn’t over-inflate this episode. It
was unfortunate, it shouldn’t have happened, and I think we should leave it
at that.”
But North Korean coach Gun Sin Ui stressed the gravity of the incident and
said he planned to take the matter up with Locog as well as Fifa, world
football’s governing body.
Ui said: “Our players were announced with their photos and names
alongside the South Korean national flag. The national flag difference is a
big problem.
“Our team was not going to participate unless the problem was solved
properly. Unfortunately it took some time later for the broadcast to be done
again properly and we made the decision to go on with the match.”
Asked whether he believed the wrong flag had deliberately been used, Ui said: “That
was the question I was going to ask LOCOG and FIFA.
“We were angry because our players were shown as if they were from South
Korea which affects us very greatly.”
The flag incident has been extensively reported in the South Korean media with
headlines such as “North Koreans enraged by the mistake”.
A Locog spokesman said yesterday: “Today ahead of the Women’s football match
at Hampden Park, the South Korean flag was shown on a big screen video
package instead of the North Korean flag.
“Clearly that is a mistake, we will apologise to the team and the
National Olympic Committee and steps will be taken to ensure this does not
happen again.”
Meanwhile it was suggested that the players may have felt under pressure to “make
a fuss” over the mix-up – for fear of being sent to the gulag if they
did not.
Korea analyst Aidan Foster-Carter said: “If those footballers had not
made the sort of protest they did, they would have a risk of questions being
asked when they got back home and perhaps being taken to a not very nice
place.”
