North Korea’s Women’s Soccer Team Refuses To Start Match Because Olympics Had The Wrong Flag

Little mix-up before the North Korean women’s soccer team was set to face Colombia. No big deal. Just a tiny, eensy little problem. You know…showing South Korea’s flag.

I think this pretty much sums up how stupid a mistake this was. Hats off to whoever just got fired:

Oh, it’s cool, you know, it’s easy to get them mixed up. South Korea, North Korea, not like there’s a DEMILITARIZED ZONE BETWEEN THEM.

Kickoff of the game was delayed over an hour.

AND ON THE DAY KIM JUNG UN IS REVEALED TO BE MARRIED?!? It’s a miracle North Korea even took the field after this debacle.
