On November 21, 2021 Kukkiwon President Lee-Dong-Sup presented former United States President an honorary 9th Dan Black Belt. For some this was an outrageous misstep. For others it was a triumphant moment. While it is not 100% clear all of the factors that went into the decision to issue this honor, what is clear is that it caused a significant backlash and controversy. The controversy caused World Taekwondo, the sports arm of Taekwondo to issue a statement distancing itself from this decision. Marc Zirogiannis discusses the controversy and the statement issued by World Taekwondo. *This episode presented by Bet Online. Bet Online is your online sports book expert.
