I can't understand how this thread is taking anything down the drain.. I think that sinkhole of respect was when one team grabbed the trophy, took their picture, and walked off with it, and the other team dropped the check on the stage floor for the judge/organizer to pick up and walked off. Or when there was yelling. And intimidation and just crap going between these teams.
Honestly, gentlemen. What is the point of acting all tough, this gangster shit, the extreme ego? You get onstage and literally dance around in flowery vests and tie-dye paghs. Why do we need this machoman crap? The lack of class was appalling. I know you guys live for this competition, and it's a huge rivalry, and similar shenanigans would happen in college sports rivalries, etc... but that doesn't make it any better. Everyone needs to grow up and gain some perspective on LIFE. It's bhangra. And this is coming from the freakin creator of btf.
The problem is this is a recurring theme. Can someone help me name the other times a Canadian team didn't place first and threw the sportsmanship award out the window? I recall SGPD @ Burgh 2007 and someone at SBB grabbing someone by the collar... need details..
