Where normal ceases to exist

This one is to all the sports lovers out there....namely all those idiot American basketball commentators who want to leave out important information when blasting this years Olympic team not to the moon....BUT TO FUCKING PLUTO!

First of all, you are idiots. Second, You have the American "We should be winning this sport because we perfected it" attitude. Third, I had to ask a fellow post at the Goose Nest how long this team has had to prepare for this years Olympics. And why did I have to ask this person about this?, because you braindead dropped on your head commentators don't meantion that a team only had a week to prepare for the exhibition games.

Instead you all blast Allen Iverson for being the usual slacker, Tim Duncan for being a lazy tall player, and blasting the inability to get outside shooters for the team. And then you mumble something about a lot of the veterans picked for the team refused to join, and then go back to blasting the team.

A) Every international team can't wait to play the USA team, and why would that be? Because they want to crush the US team into the ground because "we" think "we" invent and perfected the sport. When in fact, Basketball was started in...oh my god....it can't be....CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!

B1) We have a very inexperienced team compared to the Dream Team. Yes this year's team has been compared to the almighty Dream Team. The big problem is that international rules are like the NCAA rules, but the big problem is that a lot of the players either left in the middle of college, or else are/were straight out of high school. And the ones who did play in College probably have forgotten some of the stuff because of how long they have been out of college and in the NBA.

B2) The veterans refused to play for this team causing them go to the youngsters. This means that the team that practiced last summer isn't the same team, and who knows how many of these players kept themselves in shape thinking they wouldn't be picked.

Take all these factors together and you have the commentators.

All I can say is this...:

Mainly, I am saying give the team a fucking break let them gel in the exhibition games, and let them do what they do best when it comes to the time they need to be doing that. In the actual olympic games
