Reply #13: Freeper justification for Iraqi soccer support

[Mike Daniels]

While there is some general "ungrateful bast*rds" and "too bad we killed Uday" comments most of them seem inclined to point out that only three people on the entire team of what (18-19?) have been quoted in the press (two players and the coach).

Hate to say it, but they may have a point on that last comment. I wouldn't take the words of 1/6th of a team (or any group for that matter) to equal the overall collective sentiment.

I also noticed that those who said they would have taken up arms had it not been for soccer still opted to go play vs. dropping off the team and staying behind. Independence would seem to take a back seat over some athletic championship in any case.
