Have you seen the USA team?

[Booya711]

Lost by 10....soccer team would have done better

[funnyb25]

Good. Garbage product.

[jjgold]

glad Pop lost

[Yulia74]

89 - 79 france

[Hman]

I don't know if we should be happy, pissed at the superstars who refuse to play which makes them unbeatable, or kneel in protest

[RudyRuetigger]

look, id love to take shots at the athletes that didnt play

but fact is, the olympics and these world championships, fifa, etc. are just scamming athletes

i wouldnt play in the olympics either if they make a shit ton of money and do not pay anyone competing

spare me the bullshit about love of your country. they are making a shit ton in tv and sponsorship deals

basketball players have everything to lose by playing and injuring themselves

[RudyRuetigger]

2,952 olympians in last winter games, 0 paid to be there

us olympians earned 37,500 per gold medal...and so on


olympics basically BANKRUPT the city and/or country where it is held

[funnyb25]

Barely knew this stupid event was even going on. End it.

I completely understand your points Rudy.

But think about it...

That's exactly why the country is going downhill.

People used to be proud of living here and showed with their work ethic and in every way.

Not so much anymore.

Other countries' best players sure the hell are playing.

We suck with our new ideologies and our ship is sinking fast.

[KiDBaZkiT]

USA roster pathetic compared to what we have over here. None of the star players wanted to go this summer and honestly I do not blame them.

i care about:

1. myself, family and friends

2. local community

3. city

4. state

5. country

6. continent

7. world




in that order of importance

skipping 5th most important (dealing with pride of country) to take care of 1st most (dealing with financial stability of myself family and friends) seems like a no brainer to me

[RudyRuetigger]

not 1 person in this country will give 2 shits if you tear ACL in an exhibition game


id say family, friends, local community would

[darrell74]

For those of us who actually do have jobs at the SBR form, when you go to work today, ask any of your co-workers if they can name one person on Team USA and they probably won't

Well yes I agree, but 1-5 are in jeapordy.

Isn't pride, strong work ethic, and morals what built this strong nation?

Now the new age doesn't give a sh!t and it's why we are fading fast.

Also agree with you JJ as they are part of the problem group.

These idiotic kids these today worship athletes and entertainers more than they do ppl who actually contribute to this country.

[RudyRuetigger]

i dont know your real job so lets just say moderator

sbr forum pays you $40/hr and it is top of the line forum (nba)

do you want to go to a knitting forum (fiba) to represent mods of usa and put your mod job against other top mods competing against all countries for $0/hr to win a gold moderator medal????

but you have to include risk of carpal tunnel, as they have the risk of injury


no way youd go spend your time doing that

[funnyb25]

Lol

[Thrilla]

Highlights

[jjgold]

You can’t win with small players any longer

Why Boston made a mistake with Kimbra Walker

[RudyRuetigger]

lets put it this way


if all of a sudden

USA OLYMPIC PING PONG was worth multimillions, or even billions like some athletes.....im sure usa would be good at that

same as diving, ski jumps...etc for every sport






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


if you want to go the route of honoring your country only.....shouldnt everyone be trying for the olympics in a certain field?


who cares if your kids cant eat, its about honoring your country to make sure usa wins the most medals and the olympics rack up the dollars
