>Last week an employee of China’s Guangzhou Central Sports Co., Ltd., a company that manages sporting events such as marathons and long-distance running competitions, made what reads like a pretty harmless post on the WeChat social media app

>“I love Team Rocket! No matter how many people say they’re bad guys, I’ve loved them since I was a little kid. No matter how many times they fail, they get back up and keep chasing after their dreams, and seeing them do that gives me courage too. Thank you, Jessie, James, and Meowth.”

>However, shortly after his declaration of Poké-devotion, Guangzhou Central Sports issued a statement of their own, apologizing for their employee posting “inappropriate content that adversely affects society.” This was accompanied by a photo of a signed letter of apology from the man himself, excerpts of which include:

>“I apologize for causing a controversy and hurting everyone.”
>“I love my mother country.”
>“When I watched the parade commemorating our country’s founding, my hot tears overflowed.”
