Trump's fault.

LAS VEGAS — This is not how USA Basketball expected to open its Olympic summer.
Nigeria probably didn’t expect it, either.
If there was any expectation of invincibility for the Americans heading into the Tokyo Olympics, it’s already gone — after Nigeria shocked the U.S. 90-87 on Saturday night.
Nigeria pulled off an international shocker with a roster primarily filled of little-known NBA players that found a way to beat a group of All-NBA, All-Star and max-contract performers.
“I thought that the Nigerian team played very physically, did a great job in that regard and knocked down a lot of 3s,” U.S. coach Gregg Popovich said. “Give them credit.”

Good, I hope the virtue-signaling woketard athletes get ZERO medals.
Rooting for the competition.
Best news I’ve heard in a while!
They still hold the Olympics?
Good. Will not watch any sports. Sick and tired of woke sport announcers and athletes.
Sounds like they need to spend less time taking a knee and more time on their basketball skills.

I’m rooting for Luka and Slovenia.
The US team was beaten by Nigeria, a majority black country.
If the US team had been beaten by a majority white country, such as Denmark, you can bet your bottom dollar, the US players and that Lib Coach too, would be making accusations of ‘racism’ being the real reason the US team lost.
As it is now, these pampered princes just have to eat the loss and pretend to be good sports about it.
They don’t have a leg to stand on, for race baiting. Not this time.
The world learned in 1992 how to take on America’s best in basketball.
In ten years Americans will make a minority of NBA players.
Europe is catching up, and fast, especially France, just as they have developed their soccer team from their Africans, they are doing the exact same thing in basketball. They are better at the fundamentals than US players, and they are beginning to match the physicality.
Screw Popovich and the gang of idiots he has playing for him. I couldn’t care less what happens to any of the various Team USAs in the Olympics - they do not represent me.
And that goes triple for their Trump-hating limousine-liberal coaches Popovich and Kerr.
Another reason not to watch if Coach Pizzaface is involved.
Not that I care, but this means nothing. It was “practice”.
I will say right now the US won’t win the Gold.
I’m sure Popovich planned it
Grit and Determination vs, Arrogance and Entitlement.
