Your actual quote was:

They more or less laughed it off as the sponsors not being well prepared. Which implies that they felt it was their right, and the sponsors dropped the ball. I'm just saying that as Americans, the US anthem should be fine if they play any anthem at all. Kendo is not a Japanese/Korean invention, it is Japanese. I hope very passionately that it remains Japanese, and that the people hoping to internationalise it and Olympisize it and wrest control of it from the Japanese fail.

I know I'm heading off on a tangent here from a relatively small issue, but it's just a thing that happened to twig my attention today.
