According to TIME NewsFeed, the North Korean Soccer (Football) Team was forced to stand in public for six hours while being shamed and berated. They were forced to blame the World Cup Losses on their coach, who has been forced out of the Workers' Party of Korea to become a builder. Apparently this is all actually GOOD NEWS, because they COULD have been sent to prison camps.
I wanted my first UnScoop post to be snarky and silly, but the thought of the fear these guys must have been going through on their ride home took the snark right out of me. Well, mostly.
The UnScoop here is, in America our losing teams are subjected to public shaming, we just call it News Media and Internet. Coaches lose their jobs, but they usually have something a little more cushy to fall back on than building. However, we don't send our athletes to prison camps for losing...heck, we don't even send them to prison for breaking the law!
