Cuban Taekwondo Champ Matos Kicks Ref in Face 3

It's pretty shocking.  Most athletes grow up with some level of fear / respect for the ref, at least at a level where they don't assault the person when things don't go their way.  The fact that neither Matos, Matos' coach, or Castro apologized for the action is pretty unbelievable as well.

Wow, that was shocking, yet, in some ways, not really surprising. It's a sign of the times. What is surprising is that Tae kwon Do, like all the Martial Arts, puts much of the emphasis on self discipline, self control. This is the last sport where I would expect to see something this blatant. I hope this punk was arrest for assault.
