What Impact Will NBA Africa Have on FBA's Relationship to the Continent

[Box Factory]

So true

Soccer is the black man's sport & all the the greatest most popular players of all time, are black men.

and all the good white players - are usually copying the flair of black men.

The black man just has too much swag in everything he does.

European men are robotic and textbook.

This isnt true

Pele, Maradonna, Ronaldo and Messi are the pretty widely accepted arguments for goat.


Lying to yourself like this is weird to me. I fully understand the idea of cheering for your own but you come off as eithwr delusional or having no idea what youre talking about

 

[Chrishaune]

They say by 2100 there will be 1 billion + Africans on the continent and it's already the fastest growing population region in the world.



Bill Gates is somewhere trembling in rage.

Pele is a black man.

Ronaldinho is a black man.

Those are the GOATs - for the old and modern era, and everyone is their student


Messi is ronaldinhos student And Ronaldo's flair came from the black man.

Stay mad


Without the black man, nobody would give a fukk about sports in general


European men boring as fukk

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

fukk em breh


they dead weight as far as I'm concerned

thankfully most people IRL ain't on this sucker shyt.

Africa is in its era of emergence and some of you fools will be triggered for the rest of your lives if you view other Black people as competition or a replacement.

Instead of celebrating people are spreading false narrative and xenophobia. Smells like fear to me. A logical person would not feel like this was a replacement of anyone. Massai has been set on building ball infastructure on the continent. Imagine having an issue with this.

Weirdo ass shyt.

 

[No Sleep]

They play soccer first.

Non FBA have a small window in the association.

Two time MVP window seems to be closing quick. I remember people hyped Loul Deng to be a great or second coming of MJ.

See the problem is that you have no idea what youre talking about and its really see through



If you wanna talk about black players that influenced and introduced flare to europe n south america, talk about these guys





Youre just out here bullshytting hoping noone notices. Just stop

Bro

I understand why you're mad

You probably think Larry Bird & Bob Cousy are the greatest basketball players too.

But in every era of soccer, the black man was on top and the biggest influence on the sport - going all the way back to Pele.

I'm not saying white players were garbage.... some of my favorite center-midfielders and play-makers were white men - because of the technical and fundamental genius and field vision - like Zidane.

But when it comes to flair & organic genius and god-given talent .... all of that belongs to the black man.

 

[Swahili P'Bitek]

And thats all im saying. Its dope that the diaspora out here showing they ass. Congratulations, and many more.

But coloring within the lines the best ain't what we talking about. Its not the same.


Explain further, if you don't mind. This is the answer i was looking for, i think.

Spontaneity & on the spot creativity are extensions of how Africans value the use of wit and flashiness in escaping from dire situations I think. It's not a coincidence looking at the verbal traditions, dancing traditions that involve spontaneous decision making. I mean, seriously, white people have been exposed to our polyrhythms for centuries now and can't dance nor move naturally to them without rehearsals, and I don't mean that as a diss to them.

Whos mad?

Im not arguing for white or european players or that black players arent great either , so you can stop leaning on that crutch.

You said all the great players are black

I pointed out how dumb that was

You responded with nonsense showing you have no clue

Trying to hide your lack of knowledge behind some corny shyt


"Bird n Cousy" get the fukk outta here

You just dont it like being pointed out that youre a dumbfukk who likes to make big dumb statements

You clearly dont know shyt about soccer and wanted to post some shyt for daps

 

[Yehuda]

The new league will include 12 teams from across Africa playing its inaugural season in 26 games at Kigali Arena in Rwanda rather than the initial plan of playing in different countries in Africa.

I was gonna ask if they're really about to have motherfukkers flying back and forth between Tunisia and Madagascar.

 

[Henri Christophe]

youre a dumbfukk

You're mad as fukk bro...But I'm not surprised.

Whenever black excellence is being discussed ... Random non-black men start popping out of sewers and ceilings to add their opinions.... Even tho you didnt dispute anything I said

You skipped over my mention of Pele & Ronaldinho because you had no valid response

My favorite player of all time (and most people would agree) - is Ronaldinho (a South American black man)

My second-favorite is Cristiano Ronaldo (European white man)

My 3rd favorite is Zidane (an Afro-European man)

You came into the thread upset and triggered.... Its okay..... That energy is common from non-black men... You guys are very insecure people

Dont worry bro, I appreciate white men's contribution to the sport too.... Its okay. You guys are appreciated.

Hopefully you feel better now.

Youre corny and dumb. Your shytty arguments are disingenuous and do a disservice to actual discussions and arguments about and against racism in soccer and to the legacy of black legends

 

[Mr swag]

Trying to get cheap African labor to replace Ados hoopers. I see it.

 

[Henri Christophe]

racism in soccer and to the legacy of black legends

Racism in soccer has nothing to do with black men...Thats a pointless topic

Racism in soccer exist because like I said - non black men are insecure people

Racism will always exist no matter what

Its not black men's fault that whites have low IQs and bring bananas to soccer games

Go lecture your own people... Dumb ass nikka

Black men gonna dominate the sport regardless of racism.

I see we talking about pele, so obligatory story: My big brother is bff with an afro mexican that used to have a band. S/o to Cameradas on the east side, i think they closed. Anyway, one night, we come through and they got a afro latin singer, a female. As is my duty, bc im in the fam, i chat her up, tho her English is bad. Come to find out, she's one of pele's many daughters! Not even being funny, i had no idea who he was, but i tipped my hat when i found out.

No, i hear you, we kin. What im trying to convey, possibly poorly, is that i believe ados exist in a very special place of 'system- breakers'.

Bc our constaints were so tight. We couldnt even drum. Thats basic African diaspora 101 shyt. What we must have gone through, to be forced, under duress, to invent bodily percussion. "Hambone" (search the coli or google), taught to me by my mother, who was taught by her mother. All proof of our ingenuity in contuing the percussion of the homeland.

So we broke everything. We made fiddles make new notes, we made drums and harmonicas do things they were never intended to do.

Understand, i mean no disrespect to Africans. Thank you mama Africa for birthing us all. But we ended up over here and took seeds and made them into trees, from a position of nothing. Coal turns to diamonds of they undergo enough stress, no?

System-breakers.

shyt is mythical.
