Romano,

They could not even sell out the arena in Indiana, when the World Championships where there. No one here really cares about FIBA Rules. Just a fact of life. Just like I am sure the world cares little about Major League Soccer in America.

Peace

You're just as defensive as Isaak is. It has nothing to do with the 4th plus it's pretty stupid to say that "...you are going to kill some fiba members." Do I write, "Romano, whatcha doing today, shooting a couple of Palestinians?" No, because that would be a stupid thing to say. Get your head on straight partner, it's just a discussion, where differences in opinions exist.

You're not from here, therefore, you don't understand what the thinking is here. I'm not from your country, so I don't make remarks about what things should or should not be like in your country. Do you know who won the Super Bowl last year? Do you know what the Super Bowl is? Roger Clemens won his 300th game a few weeks ago. Do you know who Roger Clemens is? My guess is you may know little or nothing about these things, but that doesn't make it wrong. They happen but they're just not important to you. Well guess what? As Rut said, we don't care about FIBA or their rules. It's not basketball to us.

David, my friend. Lighten up. It's typical over here to resent any "ruling world body" that represents their rules are the "world rules" in a sport that we feel has the best leagues in the world here in America. This includes basketball. We don't have that same feeling about soccer (football) because it is not our game, and the best players and leagues in the world are outside our country. Besides, that game didn't originate here like basketball did.

The Olympics, which is another international organization, really has no choice but to use FIBA rules in competition, since the vast majority of participating nations use those rules. We understand that. But our feeling is that we resent some "foreigners" proposing that "their rules" are "better" than our rules, when we feel no one knows that game like we do.

It's just our jingoism coming through. There's no real anger, only joking - like calling FIBA "FEEBLE".

Let's not argue about something so trivial, my friend.

NO MORE OF THIS:

Talking The more things change.....

the more they stay the same.

Well, its been a while since I have been here regulary, but its nice to see that there are still a few FEEBLE refs here, fighting the good fight!

A suggestion to all the other FEEBLE refs here - give up, you can't argue logically with these crazy yanks, just smile, nod and quitely mutter to yourself. In all honesty, I really miss the (mostly) good natured banter here, but due to a change in jobs, towns and going back to uni, I don't really have the time.

CHUCK - yeah my site is still working, but my domain registration has been all screwed up. If anyone wants to check out the site it is at http://www.geocities.com/oz_referee and you can email me at [email protected] - but be warned, I don't check it all that often. I am hoping to get the site back up and running properly by the end of the year.

Take care all, I will still call in every now and again to chuckle at the conversations on here, so keep it up!!

David, we're constantly correcting each other's grammar and spelling on this board. That's all of us. You can be corrected just as easily as anyone else. Don't be so sensitive, about English or FEEBLE.

i think ya'll should get some common sense ... eat smaller portion size meals and listen to Dr Phil and Oprah ...

I'm telling you ... the way the world views Americans is not cool at the moment - and you should lose the arrogance ... America isn't the only place in the world ... and you should acknowledge and respect that ...

Every ohter sport that has gone from the local form to the global stage seems to have done so in an orderly fashion, and people seem to be able to put aside their differences for the better of the global community - except you lot ...

Enjoy basketball ... all forms ... and respect everyone and everything, this doesn't just apply to sport ...

sheesh ... just wanted you all to open your minds a little - sorry it was too much to ask ... never mind ... i'll go back to the other 'Feeble' forums ... i take pride in saying that I am part of a truly world game ... there are only a few sports you can say that genuinley, and we should respect and welcome that

There's a very arrogant statement on your part.
