Still, it\'s not like people on the 96 team didn\'t give off that same sort of attitude that people you would use racist reasons to root against the US would harp on. What about Barkley?
Barkley is a loudmouth but he is/was not ghetto.
One guy, who identified himself as a former member of the American military, said he hates Team USA because the team doesn\'t "represent the America he fell in love with." I asked him to describe the America he fell in love with, and he said, "it was a country you could walk the streets without worrying about being mugged."
I think this is a VERY telling quote. A bunch of black guys with cornrows, earrings, and tats represent an america where you can\'t walk the street without getting mugged.
