Why do the USA basketball teams dress like street thugs?

Question

I'm watching the USA / Australia women's final right now, and while the USA team is winning, the Australian team is the one dressed like athletes.

The USA team is dressed like they're about to go hang out in the mall parking lot and smoke some cigarettes while glaring at passersby.

The men's team has basically the same look. Should America be proud of the cultural images these kids are exporting to the rest of the world?

Answer 1

USA Basketball players have no class!

Answer 2

You just be quiet and continue to wear your tighty whites and booty hugging slacks.  You people find anything to B*tch about.

Answer 7

Answer 8

I haven't seen there wardrobes yet but I think we should be proud that both of our teams are probably bringing home the gold. I think that should be a bigger concern although I see your point on the wardrobe because it affects the youth.
