As long as everyone else abided by that, it'd be fine with me too. But it's not like they're beating up on other countries' amateurs.


How the fuck did basketball ever make it as an Olympic sport anyway? We have a couple of sports here that we invented that we could kick everyone's ass in, maybe we can get them in too?

I would be inclined to agree, but the US basketball team has gotten beaten badly a few times in recent Olympics. Didn't Argentina or someplace win the gold in the last games?

Basketball is popular enough in southern and central Europe, plus Israel and Turkey, for well developed, popular professional leagues to exist in those places. (Plus the aforementioned reigning gold medalists Argentina.) It's also getting more and more popular in China and other parts of Asia very quickly.

It's not like it's hurling, for fuck's sake. :wink:
