Related: About this forumAre there rippling effects to Rmoney's dismal performance in London?
I've been looking for links to see how other countries are covering Rmoney's fiasco in London. I'm wondering if he hurt his credibility far and wide. Has anyone seen anything in a foreign newspaper outside of Britain.
