The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[CricketFan90s]

Australians arent British.

West Indies cricketers aren’t “afro-American”

Man are you kidding West Indies is in America and South Africa, Zimbabwe are in Africa.

 

[Raz0r6ack]

I don't really think you can constitute combining South Africa and the West Indies into one team considering South Africa refused to compete against the West Indies until the rebel series in the 1980s.

"Afro-American" is a term with an actual, defined meaning and it's not "people from the Americas or Africa".

I think we should probably end this line of discussion here regardless.

i get it the word has a different meaning we can name them "Africa-America XI"

Why would a combined team contain WI and SA?

I think every cricketing nation had some form of British influence or colonialism.

It sounds like you’re saying “the WIs cricketers are mostly dark skinned so they belong in a combined team with the nation with Africa as part of its name”

In short, stop.

I started this thread over ten years ago, btw.

That wasn’t a flex. It’s kinda sad ?

I am not having any Racial feelings but may be you have so you are over sensitized. I divided the Teams based on their Historical proximity not based on Skin.

Pakistan India Sri Lanka Bangladesh are from South Asia.
West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe i placed them in one team just to make a strong 3rd team.
Australia, England and New Zealand all 3 are under British Monarchy and players accept Knighthood from Queen. So placed them in One Team.

You'd think after the last similar incident that you should maybe just end a line a discussion when a mod makes a post like that.

It's almost like you don't realise it's not compulsory to divide the cricket world up into two-three teams based on race, culture or heritage. I'd just steer clear of that and talk about other things.

What’s the “historic proximity” between WI and SA?

Make a Healthy Argument and don't turn it ugly.

Africa-America XI is a Team where i combined players from 2 Continents and not based on Skin or Color of Faeces.

Can he just do his white/black/caramel XIs to get it out of his system?

The countries in the West Indies are the ones who seem to get the most knighthoods.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Color of Faeces.

I've got very little medical knowledge, but I'm pretty confident this isn't determined by one's ethnic group or place of birth.

Health and diet are probably more significant imo.

@Fuller Pilch i know your intelligence is limited to supporting your Pessimistic Friend . Some Countries in West Indies are still under British Monarchy but as i said just included them in 3rd team to make them Stronger. I am not offering a Perfect Definition for dividing 3 Teams.

I don't want to further argue on this topic as per Moderator Instruction. But i advice @Fuller Pilch and @Red to look at Life in a more optimistic way than focusing on trying to brand people as Racist.

Remember that People who have Racial feelings will be hyper sensitive to blame others as Racist.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Look, I think we just see things differently to you regarding history and geography. We are not trying to belittle you, or call you a racist. Several of us (not just Red and your's truly) find your way of dividing teams up is a little odd (but that happens a lot in this thread). Let's keep things civil.

Finally, Red is surely a great bloke, but we can never be friends. Call me racist and xenophobic, but he's an Australian...

Your Great bloke had a problem if i include West Indies and South Africa in one Team. Why Skin Color should come into discussion.
There is also another reason to include England and Australia in one team as they were traditional rivals of Cricket from 1877.

Just call it a RoW XI and be done with it.

Look, he said, in a desperate attempt to get the thread back on track......


lets just all admit allrounders > specialists and be done with it.
