He "jokingly" said that he'll "****" South Koreans and that they should all burn in a fire. Also called them mentally handicapped.

This is 5 days after the female Greek athlete got sent home for making disparaging comments about African immigrants - also via Twitter. Some of these people need to realise that they are in the public eye. They can't just make reckless and insensitive comments without consequences.

Is he the guy in the picture? He looks familiar, didn't he play in Nigeria back in '09?
