I was just in France (Paris). 3 days later was in LA. I can say with absolute certainty that LA is more woke than Paris.

With all due respect, the two issues cannot be separated. How can you disrespect the flag in one minute then go proudly play for it the next minute? Is the team tanking on purpose? Maybe the players will go do a little research while they are in Tokyo. Police there are legally able to racial profile.

Team France player Fournier when asked about Team USA, “They are better individually but they can be beaten as a team”.

Yep ....because other teams don't play one on one basketball while the other 8 stand around and watch like in the NBA.

Not a remote shock. All the pundits thought there was a chance we would lose.

Did not most of the best players in the United States decide
Jul 25, 2021, 11:02 AM

To not play for their country?
I wonder if Nike asked LeBron James to play if he changes his mind.

Some of our best players didn't even play due to health issues or other reasons. LeBron, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Steph Curry, Kawhi Leonard, and more. We have kind of a B team over there.

They are all nba players I think. I no longer watch the nba, but the last time I did, they just went down court and shot the ball. Very little strategy and working for a good shot anymore. Not surprised they are getting beat. I checked the roster and the only name I recognized is Durant.

A lot of the names you possibly would know aren't in Tokyo and aren't playing.

France has 5 NBA players and some other good talent, but to top it off, they have been practicing together. Our team is just winging it at this stage and haven't been together playing together. Thats why some were predicting a possible loss.

Exactly. Practicing and playing together as a team matters.

Not doing that and relying on individual abilities makes us not as good.

Dang the Olympics have started!
I am so glad that I am in the middle of no place and have just enough satellite service for internet connection- but no tv or streaming videos on my computer.
