In the Southern Hemisphere, low blows are reversed. Do NOT touch their bellybuttons.
Let's put ourselves in the Argentinians' shoes: You come from a snobby little country that both tries to pretend they live on a different continent (hint: its the continent with Spain, which is a different country) and thinks it's the most important nation on its continent (hint: that would be Brazil, a different country), and then you get to the Olympics and the northern neighbor who has dominated your region for all of modern history (hint: that would be America) absolutely dominates you in basketball. Then you remember that Argentina is actually pretty good at basketball, which is why they get to send a few lucky citizens every year to work as basketball players in America and they never come back except for the Olympics, because why would they? So you hit Carmelo Anthony in the nuts. Makes sense to us. Don't cry for yourself, Argentina. We won't.

Let`s don`t offend each other, we can discuss like grown people who´s better, i think US has a better team right now, that`s fine. But you really can´t write a whole article about being snob when you are talking about somebody else´s country like that. you are the one who`s being snob.

The author of this article is beyond ignorant. This is offensive and is written by a person who has probably never even stepped outside of his mother's basement. Go read a book and learn about culture so you can grow yourself as a person before you even THINK you have the right to criticize and make assumptions about a country.

Don`t you think that it's a little low to take cheap shots at an entire nation for the action of one athlete during one game?
So i guess you guys must be pretty good at rapid fire shooting... you should definitely get the gold medal.
if my nation were always invading countries or my fellow citizens would run into a movie theater and begin shooting everyone in there i would at least demand a gold medal.
I think what you are doing here is exactly what you are complaining about. A cheap shot. -
