I have read what you say, and I think it's bullshit to say that all American professional sportsmen/women hold the dollar in higher esteem than they do national pride.Oh gawd.
Do you bother to read? ...
OK, moved to Sports Club.edit: Oh this has been a serious sports debate since page 1. I don't see the confusion.

That's a bit harsh.

Nothing like the excitement of pre-season baseball, in which nothing was at stake anyway.... the merkins get a tatering by Mexico, Canada and the might of South Korea.

Rumblings have now started coming from the American camp that they didn't take the inaugural World Baseball Classic seriously anyhow.
Maybe they had mandatory drug tests there or something
As a baseball fan, I can't say I watched a single pitch.
This exhibition is just a way to drum up excitement for the wee countries about baseball and a good way for American scouts to find fresh meat.
The best players are largely from impoverished Latin American countries who see baseball as a way out. They grow up in a culture motivated by the American dream (money) and exhibit great pride when they can finally give their meager homelands some big ups' on a global scale.
American baseball is already an international game, just like hockey. Albert Pujols is my favorite player as he is a St. Louis Cardinal, but he is playing for the Dominican Republic. I don't care that he is from the D.R., but he sure does.
When this thing is over, all the good players will return to America and begin Spring Training.

Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?
Use Logic Or STFU!!!
What would be at stake?
I also still think that the players should STFU about not taking it seriously because they lost. It just doesn't sound right.

On a side note, anyone notice how this thread got personal when it was supposed to be about baseball?
