And if we really want US to succeed, we should be rooting for our best players to go to Europe and kickass. Just as I'm sure Germany swelled with pride when their own guy kicked ass on the mavericks. |

Thank goodness I dont have to worry about getting punched in the face.
I'll be over here sporting my Bundesliga gear, and no I'm not wearing Christian Pulisic jerseys. |

Most people want to watch the highest level of skill possible. If you really love basketball you think it's unreasonable for someone in Europe to want to watch the NBA vs. the Italian league?

Watching it is one thing, being a fan of a particular team. Don't like it. Support your community. Support localism. Just like I hate the guy who loves the Golden State Warriors, the New England Patriots, and the Houston Astros. Pick a ****ing place, and stick do it.

I think the players who are American through and through like Chris Kaman and go play for Team Germany in the Olympics, or for a different team in the World Cup are pieces of dog shit. Just like I thought it was complete bullshit that the UNITED STATES SOCCER TEAM hired a GERMAN COACH. What kind of shit is that? |

I do. And I don't like it. If it's is a pro team, different. Fine. But a NATIONAL TEAM. EVERYONE better be from that country, otherwise, why do we even do it?

The Olympics are garbage. They should put every single participant in a giant pool. Then each country gets to pick an athlete one at a time. Once every athlete is picked, make them all play ice hockey and NFL football only. Then cancel the Olympics. The next year, do the same thing to the World Cup. Boom. Problem solved. |
