[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As some people twist to try to excuse this, the Turkish manager speaks the truth:

“These whistles damage the image of our country. There were two matches on Tuesday canceled because of this terror. This is not child’s play. Terrorist threats are very serious. We must think. We can not remain passive in our country facing what is happening. It’s not us. You realize there is not even a minute’s silence. My God. I cannot justify what happened. But if we act together, we can prevent the sport from being sacrificed to terrorism.”

Wait, so the obvious explanation that an unfortunate number of muslims sympathize with ISIS is true?  And all the bullshit apologies were just that? Who lost that bet?[/quote]

First, as I keep repeating, this was never about "Muslims", but about Turks. Beyond that, if you read the article, it is more of a tie. The Turkish behavior was rude, but apparently they are always rude so it didn't necessarily signify support for ISIS (though that is not ruled out). The Deadpan article is very good at trying to get to all the nuances.
