First thing I thought when the basketball team lost was they threw the game on purpose.....when I heard this I thought the same thing.....is it just minorities protesting in a new way, by losing on purpose or am I just paranoid like I think I am?
Probably something like that. Gotta give all those other countries a chance instead of the big bad USA.
You are not alone. This has to be purposeful.
Works for me, just slack off a little, the Europeans are better sportsmen anyway. There are more ways to measure an athlete than winning. I think love of team or love of others, even love of Country are 3 of them that are more important than winning. Anyone who ever played team sports knows this.
