Congratulations to NBA, but please don't discriminate against the whites.
You do know there are quite a lot white player in NBA, right?
Almost all foreign player in NBA are white, and there are quite a lot of local white player in the NBA. Quite a lot of Hall of Famer too. Steve Kerr, Larry Bird, Jason Kidd, just to name a few.
Just because the current team are almost all black (With the exception of Klay Thomson, who is mixed) that does not mean NBA discriminate White players.

Well the best among the NBA are mostly black athletes.. right now its Lebron James, Kevin Durant & Steph Curry .. all black athletes except Steph who is mixed race I think ... But it's got to do more with the quality of players available ..
Don't forget the Dream team of 1992 (the team recognized to be the most potent basketball team EVER assembled) had Larry bird as Co-captain ... a white guy from the south who is among the best basketball players to ever play. Add John stockton, a guy who was among the best point guards to ever play and still holds numerous records in assists ... Heck Kevin Mcchale and other players like Steve Nash are recognized to be great players and have played for the NBA and are white ... In fact the logo of NBA itself is based on Jerry West, amongst the best players to ever play and you've guessed it.. he's also white ...
So it has more to do with whats available to the nba rather then discrimination ...

You qualify for the Olympics, you're doing pretty well, IMHO.
You still have to play the games, because you never know.They might as well give the gold to US. No country is going to beat you guys. It just comes down to how many points the other country will lose by
The last Olympic softball tourney had a preliminary round that looked like this:
W L Score For Score Against
US 7 0 53 1
Japan 6 1 23 13
Australia 5 2 30 11
Canada 3 4 17 23
...
Japan won the tourney though.

you should not argue with a troll, just ignore him.....
He don't even know the game of basketball was invented by a White Canadian called James Naismith, he just want to troll what the American is good at.

China is just not the league of these NBA folks, there are no shame about it, at least it wasn't beaten as bad as the Nigerian 4 years ago.
The only team that can remotely give US a run for their money is either Australia, Serbia, Spain and maybe Argentina.

Well the US wasn't even playing seriously. They'd hang out at the 3 point line seeing who could hit the most 3's.

They ain't playing for real, there are a lot more action with Venezuela than from China for sure.
But in the end, there aren't anyone I think could challenge the US Team, was watching the Spain the other day, and they aren't really up to the job....They even lost a game to Croatia.....

So the PDF Chinese are making racialist comments about US blacks.
Am shocked. Shocked, I say.
They seem to be conflicted about the US. They want to make it out as a Hitlerish China vs the US "white man" in the battle of the Olympic medals. However the US is a multiracial society so that can't be done...so they are rationalizing everything. If they want to be that way they can just add up all the gold medals of all the countries in the world and do their demographic analysis.

Well if they look at the pics of the gold medal winners I have posted so far they will have an uphill battle.
I don't see how the Javelin or Hammer throw is unfair. It's not like it's something taught in high school gym class in the US. I bet you could fit all the people who have trained with these two things inside a good sized Dunkin Donuts.

And yet none of them want China out of the Olympics.
I cannot help but wonder what have any of these guys done in their lives. Am not saying work on a cure for cancer or world hunger or anything like that. Have any of them ever done anything that stresses a person to the his/her limits ? Do any of them know what is it like to put one's name/reputation/body on the line for something ? ANYTHING ? And then fail, just to get up and try again.
I believe the Chinese athletes are nothing like the PDF Chinese. I believe the Chinese athletes do not enter the Olympics wallowing in racial discontent like how the PDF Chinese are doing now. Do the Chinese basketball players not know who they are facing in the Olympics ? Of course they do, but they persevere anyway, going up against Americans who have been playing the game for decades and made a worldwide phenomenon out of it. I do not believe the Chinese basketball players will complain to the media that how unfair it is to play against Americans, blacks and whites. But the PDF Chinese does complain and made a racial issue out of it.

Nigeria was an interesting case. The rule with the US is: DON'T TRY TO RUN ON THEM!!! You'll both get tired, and their bench is WAY WAY better than yours. And, they're really good at running anyhow.
Nigeria, unfortunately, was a running team. Their choice was to play totally against their style (and lose), or play their own game and hope for the best. They played their game and it didn't work out.
