After having a few days to think about this I realize there are no winners here. Jason Belmonte is obviously doing this on purpose. You would have thought after the Angelo thing he would have realized that is unacceptable. I have Belmonte the benefit of the doubt at the time.
While Rash was over the top he made have handled it the way he did to defend Angelo and other players this is not going to happen to him and make a statement about it. I'd like to know where the hell the tournament director is or who he even is. Harry Goldman back in the day wouldn't have tolerated either player what they did.
Rash is going to lose fans and on the surface many think he's a full on jerk as he has had countless times on television of unsportmanlike conduct. Belmonte what's left of it has little respect by his piers I would imagine.
