"It shows the way that this wonderful sport has become an international sport," Obama said.

"This is the real reason he didn’t go to Paris.

Just like when he diverted the plane bringing Ambassador Stevens' body home so he could do a photo op at Andrews and be back in time to enjoy an afternoon with part of the Olympic team.

Actually the spurs are very un-diverse. They are designed that way. They are all good at basketball. Sports teams tend to be un-diverse like that.
