13058386, The optics on the us men's baskeball team aren't doing it for me

I mean the team is doing well so far, but all I see is black players and 99% white coaching staff. Shit just looks polarized as hell. Like it looks wholly American (white folks controlling black folks) and non American (the actual players don't reflect our population at all) at the same time.

Probably just me.

13058466, I just think the team should look like the US i.e. not homogenous

13058504, not homogenous? AKA: lose every game?

If Team USA only has ~8% black players, they aren't getting a medal.
