Sportsfans,

I've been watching Baseball Olympics and I have some questions.

What is that black crap some players put under their eyes?
What is the black crap for?
What is the story with that cheesy electric organ music? Yikes!
Am I the only one who finds it horrific?

LOL ! No don't worry, most of the European use to mock this E.T.
sport.

Who the Hell decided that such an arcane sport would be in the
Olympics?

A rich American sponsor since they are the only ones interested...
Note that this is also the last team sport in which USA are
performant
since
it is more and more difficult to cheat in basket-ball. ;-)
Next one will be "American football". :-(

After all, they may as well put cricket in there. At least
Australia
would
win.

I guess that there are more people in the world who like to play
"french"
boules / pétanque.


I thought that the French national sport was 'chicken'.

**How short is the collective memory of Americans. Without the French,
you
would still be a part of the British Empire.

Not *all* the American collective memory Trevors...
This concerns only xenophobes and hatemongers like Richman and Sackman.

Interesting to note that we were joking about sport when Sackman brought
the
subject to the war and then Richman outbid in this nasty direction.
Do you think it is a coincidence that today both are the most virulent on
the subject ?
I would have believe in a coincidence too if recently after I wrote him a
simple "I don't like you" Richman haven't accused me of being a notorious
anti-semite.

Unfortunatly It seems that in their particular cases the reality is over
the
fiction. :-(



War or peace, it doesn't matter. The French are the same either way.
