Latviešu Sportistus, Latvian Sportman

I think it should read "Latvian Sportmanship" because a majority of the comments show an appreciation of the humour at play in this animated series and also deliver a few good shots back.

"Family Guy" mocks Latvian sportsmen

If you're already accustomed to the animated series "Family Guy" you've heard and seen all kinds of "black jokes". Unfortunately, this time the laughter shows Latvian athletes in a bad light.
Scenes from the latest series shows students whose classmate is ridiculed for funny branded shoes. The student defends himself by saying that his mother had told him that these shoes were popular with Latvian athletes.
Then a smoking man appears in the scene who tells the story with a strange accent that these shoes fit a variety of sports, and they are sold one by one.
"YouTube" has one commentator implying that Americans should show their anger at the fact that we have the best beach volleyball (remembering the London Olympics).
