I knew there was a reason besides his ugly mug to loathe Noah...

Noah should build an ark and load it 2 x 2 with all the douche bag athletes and politicians of the world. Get MTV to film the whole thing.

I'm going to take up for France. We owe them a huge debt for the revolution, Money, arms, making Britain fight a global war, and the victory at Yorktown would never have been achieved without the French Navy and help from the French army. The War of 1812 would never have happened without Napoleon so I don't give them a pass there, the British would not have seized ships and impressment of sailors if they weren't at war with France.
The stats on WWI are pretty damn amazing if you really look at it. French tactics and weaponry were inferior to the German. Germany suffered fewer casualties although it was fighting on 2 fronts and France only one. France had a population of a little over 39 million. They had 4.3 million casualties but then when you take into account that the number of men between the ages of 18-45 were a little less than 10 million of that 39 million, France lost nearly 50% of those men wounded and over 20% of them killed in actiion. A generation was lost.
Between the wars, France's population shrunk slightly as a result with right at 39 million in 1939 and over 60% women. Germany grew from 65 million to 78-80 million. France literally did not have the "manpower" for the Second World War.
But Joakim Noah still is an ungrateful, stupid, liberal c%$ksucker though.

No land army on earth was prepared to stop the Wermacht's drive to the Atlantic. Had the US the misfortune of being landlocked with Europe, Guderian would have been eating bratwurst in Chicago before anyone knew what was going on.

French rear guard action along with Germany halting their advance is what allowed the BEF to flee across the channel back to England, kicking many French soldiers off their boats in order to do so. For their bravery, the French were left to their fate and largely judged by history as cowards.

I wonder how many British rifles were dropped in their retreat, because the beaches were littered with them.

As far as Joachim Noah - couldn't stand him at Florida but he was a damn good basketball player. I couldn't possibly care less what dinner and with whom he decided to skip. Nor do I personally give two of the smallest turds what any sports personality decides to protest. It boggles my mind how many people decide to make it their business and be offended at what some personality decides to do.

I agree with his anti war stance for entirely different reasons, but what Noah is doing is damn disrespectful.

He is disrespecting the kids who are meeting the knicks. He is disrespecting his team and himself.

But, the knicks enabled this behavior. If one of my employees had pulled this type of stunt, they'd be gone.

Anyone who thinks the French are cowards obviously have never studied WW1. Those were the most prolonged, horrific conditions in military history. I mean, they lost close to 30,000 killed in a single day in 1914. Basically half of America's total dead in Vietnam in a single freaking day. And they fought for five more years after that in the most awful conditions imaginable. Over 1.3 million dead and some 6 million casualties. It's a hell of a lot easier to be all gung-ho for war when you haven't been through something like that.

And BTW, I love Joakim Noah. He'll always get a pass in my book for this:

I agree. Everyone should be bitter, holier-than-thou ********. All free thinkers are weak, hipster cowards who'd be better off spending their time worshiping WWII documentaries and contemplating the hell that awaits us all. Keep up the good poasting.

He needs to stop playing in Chicago then. . . kids are killing kids everday in that war up there. When he comes up with a solution to evil, selfish people trying to get what they want by harming others please let us know, until then we'll keep our Army ready to protect even the ignorant among us.

Ah, man, I had the O/U on 10 posts until Chicago, and I was on the over. When will I stop overestimating the Paddock?

Better than worshiping those who had everything handed to them but still whine like babies not knowing the struggles of those who actually have to fight for their place in the world.
