American sports fans & how we view sports really being exposed during the WC

[NYC Rebel]

That Portugal/US game took on a Game 1, Spurs vs. Heat feel.

shyt was sloppy.....and flabby play.

 

[Easy-E]

If anything; the NBA Finals exposed the media

It was; Lebron is great, Lebron is on the Heat, the Heats will win

And there's no coverage as to the actuality of the 5 games, to why the Spurs won.

It's too complicated so we're goin' straight to Free-Agency drama

I'm gonna act like I can't interpret how body language affects other players. Which is my point.

Most players don't care.

I don't agree with that. I think the body language of a team's best player means a lot to the role players. A fiery, demonstrative bravado accompanied by a great performance can rally the troops and inspire their play. On the otherh and if the squad is down by 12 in the fourth with 5 mins to go and a role player looks into his star's eyes (pause) and that dude is looking hopeless and dejected than that vibe permeates throughout the roster.

I believe those Bulls teams were excellent because of the talent and coaching, but I also beliee a part of their excellence is due to their best player having a "we are not losing" mentality about him that the whole team followed.

I don't see the real world application as correctly stated by analysts.

The Spurs have the same we are not losing mentality. The 96 Yankees had it too. But Joe Torre wasn't over the top with it. Nor was Tony Dungy and others.

It's a shytty narrative.

One of the reasons I dislike that faggit, he never admits to being wrong and gets all pissy if you have a solid argument, like a little school girl

I made a point to him once on twitter that negated one of those long rants he was going on and rather than admit defeat or try to counterpoint he just blocked me. really is middle school type behavior

A smart man knows that he knows nothing at all.


Money has that "only niqqa in the room" syndrome where he's used to being the only niqqa being heard. He can't be just "another" niqqa in the room in a sea of other niqqas.

But Ronaldo's body language was very bad thru out the game yesterday

I kept my eyes on him alot and he was constantly flailing his arms or shaking his head.

BUT none of this is to say he simply wasn't frustrated at himself for clearly not being able to be at full-strngth

 

[HookersandIceCream]

Seeing the american "fan" reaction to the end of the game was awful
It felt like a basketball/football thread. Overreaction, saying crazy things and making rash posts.

 

[the cac mamba]

right....because folks on this forum wasnt judging lebron body language during this exchange
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/lebron-james-just-finished-out-a-losing-finals-on-the-bench.223380/

thought it was more about the act of sitting out 6 minutes left, not his body language on the bench. after he took himself out, fukk his body language

at least thats what i thought

You think his teammates gave a fukk or it makes him a bad teammate?

Teammates likely don't care.

Soccer players in general do that alot (flailing arms) I dont thnk his teammates or coaches gives a shyt,esp when it didnt stop him from tying the game with a pretty damn good ball at the end...

Ive always hated the "body language" criticism..to me its an analyzation cop out when you cant come up with anything real...

yea that whole body language bullshyt is exactly that. Some people react differently then others in times of sorrow,happiness,anger,ect.

u cant say that said player doesnt care cuz he's not hopping around like a fukking kid on crack yelling and shyt

I can....and I can say that a player who made it that far likely isn't going to let someone body language change shyt. You were talking about actual language my dude. That's different.

Another poster said it best....Its rooted in narratives and agendas,if Brady is pouting or yelling on the sidelines its positive and spirited and he cares about winning,when its Cam,its negative and deflating to his teammates....Take it for what it is...
