    I think his decision has been made and communicated to PATFO, and that's a primary reason they signed Marco.
    I think that too, but I am not sure.

    None of that changes the fact that Argentina is located in South American not Europe, jackass.

    Dominicans have historically a stronger culture onnection with their Spanish colonizers, but that don't make them/us European...

    Yes, they are of "purer" European (Italian/Spanish/German) blood which makes some of them believe they are superior.

    Dumbest ever....

    ya, it's fascinating how deep it goes, that type of is engrained in cultures for so long..

    I grew up in NY, a lot of Dominicans around me..as a teenager, when I moved to Canada, I was around a large Haitian presence that I didn't know much about before, never knew about their views that Dominicans felt superior to them due to skin color and culture, etc..

    Yes, we Dominicans (my parents are from DR) are guilty of that ignorant too. It is a pervasive mentality throughout South America/Latin America, sadly.

    Most of that colorism started from the colonial age and the generations from 50s to 90s are the biggest to blame. Its only now we see Ethnicities take pride in their own skin but its still pretty rampant.

    It would take time due to European imperialism only being a few decades dead, but Asia is slowly creeping into a more prideful bunch based on their latest presidential Elections.

    They even have deregatory terms now for Asians coons. The generations that grew up in the 50s to around 90s will kill you though if you dont respect the white man.

    I dont know how it is in Central America/SouthAmerica but i think they havent really progressed from those colonial mentality save maybe for a few Spurstalk Posters like my thegreatyacht.

    You should go to nigeria. The amount of Self hate these nigerians have om Black people is second to none. Always trying to seperate themselves from other blacks based on my own personal experience maybe yoi experience different things.

    It can change with an improving economy and a ethnically woke leader. Ala duterte. Its also a pervasive mentality in Asia but its much improved.

    Imo the older generations really had a ed up inferior mindset that trickled to todays generation but social media made some of us woke.

    If that Aussie vs Philiipine game happened in the 90s..That Aussie guy who shoved that pinoy player would probably get free empenads and an apology from these mentaly weak pinoys.

    You grew up in NY and never knew much about Haitians? That's rather shocking since Haitians have a strong presence in NY. I take it you're from Harlem and probably never really interacted much with people from other neighborhoods. Oh and some of those Dominicans definitely have some Haitian roots but they just trying to ignore it.

    But yes the Dominican Haitian issues run deep and it's gotten totally insane. The Dominican Republic is a popular tourist destination but many people are starting to refuse to go due to DR's treatment of people of Haitian descent who live in DR. If people keep it up the hit to thwir economy could cripple them. It's crazy how some of them think they are so much more superior when their countries are essentiantially just divided by a coconut tree.

    Leave this bull of a league and coach team Argentina, tbh. Thank you for helping get us 4 championships, winning Gold for your country unlike ass Messi, being the REAL Finals MVP in '05, and for being the 3rd best Spur of all-time after TD and Admiral. Happy retirement HOF'er!
    Thanks Manu for being a great bench player all these years!

    I don't think the Belli signing necessarily signals that he's done. If Manu still wants to play, he'll play. He seemed to enjoy it last year.

    I hope Manu decides to come back 1 more year (assuming Pop asks him). As it is, this coming season might be dismal if Kawhi doesn't change his mind. Manu can still play at a higher level than all of the old farts still playing with the spurs and he is good for attendance.
