London 2012: Swiss Soccer Player Michel Morganella Takes Dive, Calls South Koreans 'Bunch of Retards'

Nobody likes a sore loser, especially at the Olympics. After getting booed for taking a dive during the match, Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella took to Twitter after Switzerland lost 2-1 to South Korea on July 29. 

Michel Morganella tweeted, "Je les tous Defonce Coréens, allez vous tous Bruler, bande de trisos! (I want to beat up all South Koreans, all of you burn, bunch of retards!)". Morganella later apologized for the rant, but the damage was already done.

Michel Morganella's Twitter feed has disappeared, as these things tend to do, but it's too late: Morganella was kicked off the Swiss Olympic Team.

Michel Morganella is the second athlete to be kicked out of the games due to racism: he joins Greek triple jumper/neo-Nazi sympathizer Voula Papachristou.

As for Michel Morganella taking a dive, you can see it below. There's no question that his injury was faked.
