represent!

iran has qualified an olympic berth in basketball. yeh, they are one of the twelve teams vying for the gold in beijing. i hope they lose every game 350 - 0. i know for a fact that there will be at least 2 or 3 articles on the wonderful story of a country with a small basketball program and makes it all the way to the olympics with just heart and determination. jemele hill, theres your cue. what they wont talk about is the country that the team represents are terrorist-run, hate-mongering, antisemitic, racist, anti-american, violent lunatics who have attained a nuclear program illegally with the intentions of bullying(and probably worse) their enemies into getting what they want. and they dont want what me and you want. what they wont tell you is that the murderers who run that country dont really care how the results turn out. and if the team is successful and they say they care its only to announce to everyone else to pretend that they are a normal country like everyone else. in reality, basketball, or any sport for that matter, represents freedom. the entire olympics represent freedom. so its ironic that iran is in the olympics.

p.s. there was a bit of an uproar recently pertaining to the fact that becky hammon the blonde all american girl from rapid city, south dakota will be suiting up for the smelly, sandal wearing, pimple nosed russians. to me its not a big deal. its womens basketball so no one cares(she plays their in the wnba offseason and has received citizenship in order to qualify for the team). but when you get past the vodka jokes and really ponder the level of seriousness of a decision like that it really is hard to swallow. at least the cold war ended years ago and the russians are supposed allies. did you catch my foreshadowing there. get this: there is a man named joe vogel(sounds jewish) donning the old green, white, and red. no, not italy, the freakin lebanese. the runnin' jihadists. the guy is from north platte, nebraska and he represents Lebanon in all international competition. joe vogel is the staring center on the lebanon national team. at least russians you can joke with. with these guys, one missed free-throw and your arm comes off.
