    A fine piece of political correctness I just found there:
    https://www.culturalnavigator.com/Tm...20Identity.pdf

    In France, the relationship between a sports event and a sense of national identity tends to be sensitive. In general, whether such an event strengthens a sense of national identity depends on the result. This is because the French are largely suspicious of the notion of national pride. They support the national team but typically consider their events with some detachment. In comparison with other countries, such as the Netherlands or England, there are very few French supporters who travel abroad to watch and encourage the French team.
    Ever wondered if this lack of enthusiasm weren't related to the fact that the French aren't interested with a team they can't identify with?

    The most white dominated popular sport I can think of in the US, is Hockey. Lacrosse maybe too, and swimming.

    Do you mean born abroad? Or those with parents & grandparents as migrants from abroad? As far as I know we have one footballer, Somali born Islam Feruz, at youth level (u21's) for Scotland. Now lives in England, playing for Chelsea.

    Ehh yes, you are right about Zlatan (I thought all Italians would know who he is). You are wrong about the others, though. The half Yugo is nr. 19 and the half Finn is nr. 20.

    I don't think I can have any emotions when that team would play, I just can't identify myself with that team, they can be world champions I would still be just indifferent, I love it how is it today
    Immigrants. In Bosnia.



    @OP Question: I do not mind foreigners who have represented my people in sports, they are European foreigners mostly, and well integrated at that.

    What Slovenians do:
    They use fact that young basketball talents can't have enough good conditions in Bosnia, so they sign them for some Slovenian club with perfect conditions for progress, but they blackmail them to sign that they will play for Slovenia national team.
    But now situation is "slightly" different, Jusuf Nurkic said fuck you Slovenia, and he is already member of our team, Emir Sulejmanov
    ic said fuck you Slovenia, and he will soon become part of our team, Alen Omic said fuck you Slovenia and when you stop crying in FIBA that he must play for Slovenia he will become part of our team.
    And we now have much better conditions for progress of young players, so in future they anyway would not have need to go in Slovenia teams.
    So Slovenian blackmailers, what you stole till now can be yours, like Mirza Begic, but era of your dirty job is close to end.
