Like A Fella Once Said...

Last Saturday, Angel Valodia Matos from Cuba kicked a referee in the face during his Olympic taekwondo match with an opponent from Kazakhstan. Apparently, Matos broke his toe while fighting his opponent for the bronze medal. The rules give fighters one minute to tend to their wounds. When the minute was up, Matos was disqualified from the match by the Swedish referee. He was obviously not too happy about the decision and after some scuttlebutt on the mat, Matos put his foot all over the ref's lip. Hard and quickly. If you haven't seen the video yet then please search for it online. (Click here for a picture.) I happened to catch a replay on MSNBC. It was quite entertaining.

So, if he could still fight, why did he kick the referee?
