Jason Whitlock says Canadian athletes 'don't want it' as much as Americans

I was never able to stand Whitlock, but this is complete asinine.

He cannot be serious with these comments:

“This is what a lot of NBA people believe,” Whitlock insisted. “American born ... players have more intensity.

“They’re not as laid back. Canada is a laid back, which is probably a positive thing.”

 

I thought "Canadian" was a code word.

Damned racist.

 

Whitlock still remembers his disagreements with The
Canadian wing of SJ and is trying to tweak them from afar.

 

They also don't tip well, from what I hear.

 

They shouldn't be allowed to get married, either.

 

"It" is sex.

They are a sexless bunch.

 

Tiger Williams would like you to come a little closer and say that again, Whitlock.

 

So would the Canadian national lacrosse team, which just whipped the U.S. national team's collective a** in the world championships last week ...

 

You should use a sport people actually care about to argue your point.

 

Fitting that he chose "born" as his word choice, because birth is about all that distinguishes Wiggins from his US counterparts here. Wiggins has an American dad, attended an American high school, has been playing on the US high school, camp and AAU circuit against the best US players for year and years. In terms of his basketball education, it's been pretty much identical to that of the top US players from his class.

Yet Whitlock still thinks his Canadian-ness makes him less intense and "not want it as much" as the US kids who grew up playing with and against? Umm, why? Just something about being born in that cold air up there?

What a stupid take. Remember when people used to take Whitlock seriously? That seems like a loong time ago now.

 

This would mean more if you'd hadn't chosen an event that most US sports fans didn't even know existed.

 

If you think he's bad now think what this guy will be like in another 15 years.
He's already flown the coop.
