Part of me wants to laugh with you, the other part wants to laugh at you.
You're correct in pointing out that the American-centric view of sports in the
context of the world in general is very narrow, though I also find a
considerable amount of arrogance in your own Euro-centric view of sports.
So, by your own definition, the only defining criteria in world sports
competition is the Olympics, which is generally accurate for individual
acheivements, but as far as team sports is debatable.
The Lakers are a basketball team, in case you didn't know.
Would you prefer I resort to the politically-correct version instead?
...home of the 2000 NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION FINALS CHAMPION LOS ANGELES LAKERS..."
Whatever. Back to analog synths. Why can't we all just get along and bash the
Roland JP8000 together? Fight the real enemy...
