IMO, calling CQ NO USA, by itself, in no way constitutes unsportsmanlike
behavior - but when accompanied by political rants, having nothing
whatsover to do with contesting, might come close, depending on how
disruptive it becomes (I didn't witness the display in question).

It WILL be interesting to see if they send in a log.
