LOL @ Sasha YouraBitch.

Lol!

Where Are All You Anti-american Fans Now?

Hahaha

Usa Is The Best!

i rooted for argentina, and im not anti-american.

It's been a long time since USA men's team won an Olympic Gold. They should win it but bravado isn't something citizens of the USA should clothe themselves with considering recent history. I say cheer for USA to win but lose the arrogant bravado.

You were against America, thusly you are anti-american. Go look up the definition of "anti" Freakin commie

so you want your countrymen, who are playing for the Olympics to represent the United States (your country) for FREE, and only asking for your SUPPORT, to fail?

You want them to go home in embarrassment like in 2004? You want the world to make fun of us again? To degrade our basketball players as 'not good enough' to beat the other countries again? To add more fuel to the anti-american sentiment that is gripping the world lately?

Yeah, you're a dumbfuck. Learn how to be a patriot.

I know you are safe and sound at home right now and don't understand what it means to have a beautiful, great country like the United States.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ 100% truth

You want to hear another country national anthem being sung? Another country flag being raised?

You don't know jack shit and you are a product of hippie parents.

You don't. You want to see your fellow americans fail to accomplish their goal that they have worked hard for.

Anti-american.

dont give a crap if they win or lose. doesnt affect me any.

It affects fellow americans athletes that represent your country and the millions of fellow american fans that root for them.

Way to be a selfish little scumbag prick.

You can say "I don't care about the olympics"

but saying "I want team usa to lose" is anti-american

---

It must be nice for you to choose when you want to be American and root for the US. I guess that would make you a bandwagon American.

I can understand hoping that Manu does well, but hoping for the US team to lose is just unAmerican. IMO

Oh and how it effects you... how about some national pride toward the country that you live in??

But it's not just basketball but the players as well. Who wants to write out Anti Lebron, Anti Kobe, Anti Howard, Anti Melo, Anti Bosh etc. You are against all those people. What do they have in common, they are all Americans. so rather than typing all those names since they are all American its just easier to say anti-american.

wow, you must be a pretty shallow person. my level of national pride is the same regardless of whether or not a basketball team wins or loses.

haha these guys make me laugh.....

"you root for argentina, you hate AMERICA!!"

Yes bandwagon American.. Your national pride is high when it suits you. Other than that you dont give a shit on if the US wins or loses. We get that.
And no I am not a shallow person. I served my country in the military and root for the US in all sport. So I guess I would be a true American unlike you.

But its ok for you to be a bandwagon American.

how so? i thought they would win, which is why i was rooting for the argies (its more fun to root for the underdog while watching). i have no vested interest though, so i could care less who actually won.

You are right I'm a bangwagon American (whatever that means), I have to root for the United States even though I don't care for their players or coach staff? National Pride over basketball, get over yourself:rollin

---

Bandwagon American = only american when it is in their best interest.

That is the problem with the US. They only care when it matters to them. You look at a country like Argentina. I have a feeling in Argentina that everyone was rooting for Argentina to upset the Americans.

Too bad for you LOL!

USA will crush your sorry team that you root for

GO USA!

in what capacity won't you be rooting for the USA the entire olympics, foreign policy, war, or just basketball.

So it's ok for you to exclude basketball from your sentences, but when i do it, it's wrong?

rooting for Germany in WWII= Unamerican

---

Um Yes they do care. Why do you thinkalot of the Medal winners go and meet the president?? And why was most of the leaders of the world at the Opening Ceremonies?

And you may not think that Olympic sports has nothing to do with National PRIDE, but your way off base.
You must not remember the Mircle on Ice. That is one of the greatest US moments verse the USSR and it created a ton of national pride and patriotism.

Plus the US winning in the olympics gives our troops a boost when they are overseas.

Maybe you should stop posting. :ihit


And is McCain not McKain

arguing on the internet is stupid.

See i call you anti-american on a basketball forum in a thread about basketball, and i tell i'm referring to basketball and you say i have to put basketball. But in the same thread you feel that you don't have to put basketball cause it's implied. So its good enough for you to exclude it, but not for me? It's hypocritical people like you that are one of the reasons the world hates America.

Go USA.

Well I am talking about the Olympics.. not just a basketball game.

This is not a pick up game. This is country vs country.

THis is all very stupid and somewhat embarrassing.

so Eminem is what in your life? Henry Rollins? :nope

this is why this thread is stupid: it goes against the point of the olympics. yeah, they want you to root for your country, but beyond that, they want you to understand and appreciate the brotherhood of man and enjoy the extent of human ability. we're supposed to celebrate together, to root for one and all, and to find a reason to hope in the world as a whole in the skill and sportsmanship that's meant to come from these games (hence the ioc making some remark about that bolt runner guy not being in the olympic spirit; hence the horror of hitler being unwilling to give jesse owens his medal). if all you want is to root for the usa, then you miss the reason why the usa participates in these games, and it's not for a freaking medal count or to get you to buy a coke (or at least it wasn't meant to be, isn't touted as being so, and shouldn't be), it's to get the people of the world out of their little nationalistic boxes and recognize the greatest of all.

you root for who you want to root for....whats the big freakin deal??

whatever, it was just a basketball game.

My understanding Manu didn't even play much, fwiw.

ugh this thread hurts me especially with the manu injury.

You're suppose to take pride in rooting for your country. You can root for who ever you want to but it just seems silly to me to root for a country you have nothing to do with just because one of their players plays for the spurs.

Ginobili cares a lot more about Argentina than he does San Antonio, you should probably care more about the U.S. than Ginobili.

I love my country so much that I am not blinded by that love and can see its faults.

Like having Carmelo and J-Kidd starting on a team with CP3/Deron and Tayshaun. Its a travesty.

I bet you're one of those people who say anti-war people want all our soldiers in Iraq dead? Or that a pro-choice person personally murders infants?

God! and I bet you are happy that Carmelo is starting!!!! Disgusting.:nope

I was hoping Manu and company would defeat that high-priced bunch of primadonas but alas it was not to be. The American team is over-bloated with arrogant, self-righteous showboats, particularly Bryant, who in reality is the last person I would pick to represent my country.

I rooted for 2 things. The US team to win and Manu to not suffer any injuries. Sadly, I only saw one of those things happen. :depressed

All this "country" bullshit in the Olympics is disgusting.

It's like war lite.

Ok yeah comparing war and abortion to Carmello Anthony starting for the USA team is a tad of a stretch and a tad of a fail.

:clap :clap

So true about Ginobili. I understand that he wanted to play for his country, but he risked his health and the Spurs chance for a championship by doing so.

Ugly nationalism doesn't make me feel patriotic. it makes me want to root for someone else.

Dumb ass thread...started by a dumbass.

Seriously rooting for the Argentina national team is like rooting for San Antonio against the US NBA All star team.

I have more loyalty to the personal connection we have to the Argentina players than people like (rapist) Kobe Bryant, (nut punching) Chris Paul, and (all around thug) Carmelo Anthony. It's nothing against the US, nor does it mean I am making a political statement.

I just want our boys with the San Antonio connection to do well. Oberto and Manu are Spurs, and my loyalty is to the Spurs in them over the stupid jingoistic need to say GO USA GO USA GO USA no matter what kind of person is representing the US.
