have you ever heard the term " We goin Global on this B-I-itch"

[Mister Sinister]

Uh....WGAF?

For the same reason that you don't see alot of American fruit pickers in the Rio Grande Valley. Illegals work cheaper, and that works for Holt.

Which of our guys is African?

And what does it matter if we have less American players? We choose the players that best fit our team. Since when does nationality have anything to do with that?

Nope, Udoka was born in the US - Portland, Oregon.

well he's part Nigerian anyway

[Mister Sinister]

You still haven't explained why any of this matters.

Udoka

Dude that is funny... where did you get that information? Amazing...

[Dex]

Well if we're talking parts, then i'd venture to guess that 100% of our American players are part-SOMETHING.

Now look what you've done. We're an all foreign team because you couldn't see outside the lines.

[some_user86]

Ohhhh, I understand now, Americanism is defined by how American the parents are to begin with. And here I thought it had to do with being an American citizen, either natural or naturalized. But I guess I was wrong.

If only there had been any Aztecs in the draft, we could finally get our repeat.

very few of them would be playing for their national team, that's why

When did Miss Teen South Carolina become a Spurs fan and register for this forum?

[ChumpDumper]

So we shouldn't have signed Udoka because he might play for his home country of Portland, Africa in the Olympics.

Xenophobia thy name is "Mob boss's personal assistant"

[Kathyladora]

I'm confused. Weren't you the one who started the topic about Manu being unloyal because he's not playing for his national team, but now you want the Spurs to have fewer foreign players because you don't want them to play for their national teams?

[Switchman]

Because George Bush doesn't care about American nba players.

[v2freak]

Someone asks a question and people automatically assume that he has a problem with it/is xenophobic? No, it doesn't matter, but it's the offseason so who cares if someone asks?
