Japan shyly waving at the crowd Is Arrogance?

[Prestwick]

Just was reading though MSN's examples of the worst arrogance in sport. Personally I was shocked to see that they have included the Japanese shyly waving to the crowd in the list, and it was written that -

Shyly waving is the prost-match ritual of the Japanese rugby union team, and one that is increasingly seen as arrogant and unfair by the rest of the rugby world.
While the Cherry Blossoms stumble off and wave a bit at the crowd, tradition dictates that the opposing team has to stand still and make no form of reply. All of which lead one British sports writer to label it recently as "a self-important bore and an instrument of the worst kind of sporting arrogance."

I notice that do they not include an other rugby nation's shy waving as arrogant; eg. Georgia. Portugal, Korea. Clearly this is just an attempt to attack the number one Asian team in the world.
The other examples of arrogance in sport are interesting. They have included Cristiano Ronaldo and Lewis Hamilton.

Chris Ashton would the be the prime example for me at the moment.

Excellent winger, real finisher, and seems like a nice guy. Just cut out that diving nonsense, its dissrespectful to the opposition and has never been part of the game.
