Dream Team II Wins Few Friends for Its Obnoxious Behavior
- Share via
Dream team? More like our worst nightmare.
Once again, a bunch of headstrong, trash-talking basketball players from the United States has shown the world why our country has so many problems. Whatever happened to respect, dignity and sportsmanship? This in-your-face tactic to embarrass your opponent is against everything my parents taught me about sports.
I can live with the idea that these jerks can continue to play professional sports. I just won’t watch. But let’s try to represent our country with a great team of respectful players and show the world what we want to become, not what we are, a bunch of disrespectful, arrogant jerks.
