Team USA secures the bronze
I love NBA basketball but this is stupid:
As the Americans accepted their bronze medals Saturday night, many gave military salutes to the Saitama Super Arena crowd of 16,700.
Can you think of a better way of looking like jerks than giving military salutes -- maybe you could have guessed that making your trip to the world championships (which you expected to dominate) look like a military operation was an idiotic thing to do. No wonder the rest of the world likes to see you beaten.
