Serious Question: Why Are American NBA Fans So Damn Arrogant?

[forum troll]

The answer is simple: they do care only about NBA. And to be honest, after all these Olympics when USA dominated, could you blame them? Of course, from these days perspective fans should know that there are many very strong players outside NBA. Still most of Americans do not know anything about international BB, so how can they vote for Šiškauskas or DD when these two never played in NBA?

Another funny moment: when Kleiza with Nuggets played in some game (three years ago) a lot of Lithuanian fans came to support him. After the game NBA reporters interviewed the fans while asking such question - "Kleiza is definitely the best Lithuanian player, right?". And it was so funny to see their reaction when Lithuanian fans said "not even close" (At that time there was plenty of better players. And even these days Šiškauskas is still better). The reporters forgot even the freaking Ilgauskas who at that time still was the contender for East all star centers.

But that still does not explain why they are that way with their attitude? It must have something racist behind it, otherwise it is totally illogical.

NBA fans are saying that Euroleague champions cannot even beat an average NCAA team. This is after the Euroleague champs beat the Lakers. There is no way these opinions can be based on anything rational. They are simply illogically biased against European basketball.

I think it is because most players in Europe are white. I think it is that simple. In the US, they believe that ONLY black Americans can play basketball. Go to any American NBA forum and talk about Euroleague players and the racist comments from NBA fans just start flying.
