Why was Dražen Petrović such a hardcore nationalist Croat when his father was a Bosnian Serb? With his mother being Croatian, that's about as "Yugoslav" as it gets. Hell him and his brother Aleksandar(Serbian name) were/are 2nd cousins to Yugoslavian/Serb great Dejan Bodiroga.

He was very vocal about his Croat nationalism during a time of war.. Which is pretty fucked up.

And before that.. There was Divac who only wanted to celebrate with Yugoslavian flags when they won first place with Yugoslavia, so when he saw the Croatian flag being held by a nationalist/separatist, he wanted to remove it from the celebrations. This clearly didn't sit well with Petrović. He clearly had a separatist mindset since his early years. Did he get them from his mother? Or were there some underground youth Croat ustaša separatist movements in his hometown?

why is Pedro a hardcore American when his dad is Mexican?

>>69588601

So Divac was the only sensible man in the Yugoslavian team?

Also, Petrovic probably suffered from converso syndrome; being a mutt, he has to show off himself as being more croat than the croats in order to be accepted in their community.

If baseball was to be given back its olympic status, should major league players get a chance to play in it?

Also what would a Team USA (or Team your country if you're from one of those countries that play baseball) look like at these Olympics if MLB players could play in it
12 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>69585896
it's precisely because they are not allowed to play in the Olympics that they refuse to give baseball a spot

Olympics used to be for "everyone", but now the IOC only want the best available

also >we could probably not send a team, as in Europe Netherland, Italy and Germany are better at it.
>>
Team USA couldn't exist because they would all fail their WADA drug tests
>>
>>69585896

There's no point in having a competition where you don't allow the actually good players play.

no one else is tired of seeing spain dominate the champions league?

Exactly. Casillas has always been better yet people only talk about this hack.

For me it's Zlatan: he's intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humour, just like me.

Ronaldo because his whole career, everything he has done has been a battle against abortion. His whole career has been to show the world that abortion is wrong.

When Ronaldo did his '15' celebration, he was doing it to show how happy he was that he passed 15 weeks in his mothers womb without her killing him (when you reach the 16th week abortion becomes illegal in Portugal)

When he looked at the boys doing an underwear contest, it was a pleasure to see them because they were fully formed children and not aborted foetuses wearing underwear

He refused to carry Portugal from the earliest stage of the world cup because his mother didn't want to carry him through the earliest stages of pregnancy, it was a protest

Ronaldo hates Messi not because he is a footballing rival but because Messi was never going to be aborted. Ronaldo was in his mothers womb at the abortion clinic, waiting to be sucked out without ever having even learnt the meaning of hair gel, but this never happened with Messi. Even though Messi was always going to be born as a short, ugly,deformed midget in need of drugs to become healthy, his mother loved him and never tried to abort him. Ronaldo sees this and it makes him angry. He is CR7, the peak of the human fitness possibility, the strongest, fastest man in the world. How can his mother want to abort him but Messis mother never wanted to abort Messi even after finding out about his deformities? Whenever Messi scores, it is taunting Ronaldo, it is saying ''I wanted that goal more than my mother wanted to give birth to me''.

If you go to the Ronaldo museum you will find an entire exhibit dedicated to pictures of Ronaldo in his mothers womb. His mother has never visited out of shame. As a Catholic I praise CR7 for his fight against the unholy murder.

It's the single double session of darting action from Blackpool as half of the field begin their World Matchplay campaigns.

The afternoon session, as always, has Sky stuff in the lesser name matches but there are some intriguing encounters in those four games. /180/ suffers a moral quandary first with the realisation that either Family Guy's Stephen Bunting or kebab remover Mensur Suljovic will go early. Kim Huybrechts, whose last television appearance saw him sacrifice his own brother against MVG only to shit himself against Barney, then faces Welsh muscleman Gerwyn Price who famously dumped Snackpot out of the tournament last year. Lovable failure Terry Jenkins is up next against the completely out of sorts midget whiner Justin Pipe, with the human branch of Wickes Ian White facing the Winter Gardens' first threat of an IRA massacre in Daryl Gurney in the closer.

The other non-Taylor Matchplay champion in James Wade faces annoying irritant and constant excuse maker Mervyn King in the evening's opener, with morbidly obese Stokie Adrian Lewis next against the wobbling Welshman Mark Webster, whose recent good form in the Worlds, Grand Slam & World GP has evaporated. World Champion Gary Anderson plays the last Matchplay debutant in Alan Norris, with the speed quick enough so the Scotsman won't job out like he did here last year, and ending the day's action are midlife crisis man and "Scotsman" Peter Wright and Joe Cullen, who has finally performed like everyone expected him to do so since his breakthrough years ago.

Coverage starts at 1:00pm BST on Sky Sports 3, with the evening session starting at 7:00pm BST on Sky Sports 2.
