Albert done.
I know someone got kicked off an Olympic Team a couple of days before the games started over a racist tweet.
WWE has issued an apology for a video Tensai posted late Monday night on the video sharing network Tout that could be perceived as racially insensitive toward Asian people.
"While in character, Lord Tensai (Matt Bloom) clearly took his storyline too far and he will be reprimanded for his inappropriate comments," WWE's statement reads, which was issued to multiple wrestling news outlets by company spokesman Kevin Hennessy.
The video, which has since been deleted, showed him traveling with his "personal chauffeur" Sakamoto to Indianapolisthe site of tonight's SmackDown tapingfollowing Raw, and he remarked that it's "very, very dangerous" to drive with a Japanese person. He then smacked Sakamoto on the head as he drove and ordered him "to open his eyes."
Another racially charged remark toward Sakamoto was made on Raw as commentator Jerry "The King" Lawler quipped following the Tensai vs. Tyson Kidd match, "When Tensai beats up Sakamoto, he changes his name to Sum Ting Wong."
What happened at the Olympics?
A Swiss soccer player was expelled from the Olympics on Monday for his threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans.
He posted the message after playing in the 2-1 loss against South Korea on Sunday. He said in the tweet that South Koreans "can go burn" and referred to them as a "bunch of mongoloids."
Triple jumper Voula Papachristou was kicked off Greece's Olympic team Wednesday for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right political party.
Papachristou wrote: "With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!".
