most people from other countries do this, it's not just against Americans, so yeah you're are being defensive.

Americans do the same thing as well, I'm sure I don't have to point this out. So with all the belly aching in this thread, the poster above has proven this wasn't a slight against the Americans and other players have been asked similar.

I'm sure they do? Its rude either way when someone does it and Boogies response was funny. If it was genuine then I see your point but the way its being covered it seems like the European journalist was trying to be slick http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ic-response-to-journalists-geography-question. At least that's how the other journalist made it sound. I don't have an audio so if it wasn't said it an insulting way then I'll say my bad but in my experience that question is sometimes asked in a snobbish way.

whether she was being slick or innocent, the response he gave lacked decorum. If you don't know the answer you don't have be sensitive, condescending, nor defensive about it. It's a question nonetheless...your opponents will have "Slovenia" written across their jerseys - so it's not out this world to ask if he knows where "Slovenia" is given the size of the country and the fact they are USA's next victim...opponent.

this is why sports athletes, political figures, and actors go through media training - for times like this . That's why I kinda understand why most posters commenting don't know what the fukk they are talking about.

aight, I'm done here.

I see people are just race-baiting on here between this and the Ferry situation. Sucks every thread turns into some race bait or race war , with the minority opinion being called "CACS" and such.
Are you white?

Please explain how Cousins was wrong for doing the exact same thing that the reporter did

If she is asking a question that is intended to be disrespectful, than why the fukk shouldn't he be defensive about it? Hes taking time out to give reporters serious answers not be insulted? Everyone thinks it was a funny answer, everyone is covering it like it was a funny/witty response. If you don't, cool but you're coming off as a person being sensitive.

because he looks small doing so, she's a nobody - he's the superstar. Just answer the question and keep it moving. she got a sound byte out of him and front page articles....that's not how you win.

there's levels to this shyt - if she was being disrespectful (which I doubt) he gave her 5 minutes and marketed her disrespect.

done explaining it, nothing against you but if you guys don't get the basics then what's the point of asking me the same questions over and over. I answered them and made my opinion known consistently in all the pages. Someone has already pointed out that the majority of your thinking was wrong (since the question was asked to other countries as well).
