SOUTH Korean netizens have sympathy for Swiss footballer Michel Morganella after he was sent home from the Olympics for racially abusing South Korea's players on Twitter. In a Twitter post, Morganella wrote: "I am going to batter the Koreans, burn them all... bunch of 'trisos'." 'Trisos' is a French slang word for people with Down's Syndrome. However, many South Korean Internet users said the player had been sorely provoked by Korean comments on social media. South Korean fans had found Morganella's Facebook page and posted thousands of strong criticisms, both in English and Korean, about the way he played during Sunday's match. The comments were later deleted.
