There’s been a lot of hype about the USA National Basketball Team playing Iran in the World Basketball Championship. Tuesday, Team USA beat Iran, but with the PC pandering of “our” team, it’s as if we lost. Sadly, Team USA Coach Mike Krzyzewski and players were all too dhimmi-esque regarding Iran. Barf. Then, the cheerleaders had to wear long pants to respect Islam and Iran. Double barf.

First there’s Coach K. Imagine if it was 1940, and he had restricted himself to this kind of wimpitude when playing Hitler’s German team:

The main interest in the Iran game comes from local journalists trying to hype it because of the political tensions between the countries, but Krzyzewski downplayed that.

“This is a sporting event,” he said. “We have respect for Iran. I actually played in Iran in the 1970s when I was on the U.S. Armed Forces team. I have great feelings for their country. They’re sportsmen and so are we.

Just another reason to despise Duke. Keep up the good work, Debbie.

They didn’t put the cheerleaders in burkas?

[SoldierDad]

Where was the game played?

[wilco200]

Guess I won’t watch that game.

I’ll hold off tuning in until the Team Ibiza vs. Team Brazil half time show.

[GnuHere]

They’ve been playing in Istanbul.

The usual Muslim 'don't offend us' garbage that is always one-way - and the U.S. always obeys. This nonsense of accommodating the hyper-restrictive 'rules' of some backward Islamic dictatorship is ridiculous. We shouldn't even be there.

[Rummyfan]

Istanbul.....

[llevrok]

How about the Muzzies wear string bikinis in deference to us? (they'd have do do some serious hair defoliating first, however)

[SoldierDad]

Well, when in Rome, I guess. So, we should force their teams to dress like ghetto kids when/if they play in the U.S. (not holding my breath).

[SmokingJoe]

Guess I won’t watch that game

Game already took place..yesterday. You didn't miss much. Only real question was how big a margin Iran was going to lose by.

As a Christian, I support modesty in feminine attire.

Clothing, afterall, was intended to conceal, not to reveal.

However, when modesty does not come from a truly repentant heart, it is nonsense.

And when modesty is imposed by a fear from a bloody satanic death cult, it is tyranny.

As for us Christians, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!”

[SeekAndFind]

PICS, we need PICS !!

[Thunder90]

Just wait until Islam has to go up against the Gays and Lesbians in the court of Liberal opinion. Then, Islam will have to deal with atheist communists (Which is the liberals true credo).

[wilco200]

you caught me. I only clicked on the link to see pics of the Iranian Fly Girls

[screaminsunshine]

Islam is a one way street in the wrong direction and no way to turn around.

[Osage Orange]

I thought clothing was intended to keep us warm.

[23 Everest]

We have our cheerleaders put on long pants in respect for them. They piss on the graves of thousands by pushing their desires to build a war memorial at ground zero.

[Westbrook]

> I thought clothing was intended to keep us warm.

Read Genesis chapter 3.

I'm not sure what to think about this. I don't like women in revealing clothing prancing around in Prime Time TV. If this were the first half of this century in America, they'd have to cover up too. Asking female entertainers to dress modestly is a far cry from asking women in general to dress in head to toe burkas to subjugate them. And by saying this, I'm in no way agreeing with Iran's policies toward women. The Iranian government is savage and medieval (although the Iranian people are probably some of the most liberal in the region).

[ScottinVA]

I'm old enough to remember the America that was #1 on the world stage. I truly hate this submissiveness sh*t that's become commonplace.
