there was nothing said that in the least could be considered offensive by anyone from iran. It was a bush league move by some corporation trying to be super pc.
Borat was meant to be from Kazakhstan (middle of Asia (other side of Russia)) and it was filmed in romania (as well as the US) and is actually a British guy.
Let them wallow in their ignorance.. It is not offensive.. just stupid.. The dangers of too much political correctness is that you end up making something stupid like this into something like a heinous crime..
Hamed does not care. But I do hope we beat them in the next FIBA Asia.
This isn't worthy of anything resembling "outrage," but these announcers were a little stupid with their words. Were they making a point, or just musing out loud in an ignorant-sounding fashion?
wow how crazy are persians..I bet it was mostly men who complained..yea of course right..wow..you persians need to have a sense of humility and humor for once..you can't joke around I know first hand..do yourselves a favor and have a sense of humor..quit starting wars..thats all you know how to do..oh and take over the nice parts of America..thanks for your contribution to society..
@jbchar666 oh oh oh another stupid american "quit starting wars" oh which war do u mean? iraq war? oh no it was the americans afghanistan ? oh no u again vietnam? oh no it was the US hm korea? hiroshima? uneducated americans in the past 300 hundred years we did not start any war we are not mass murderes like u americans!!! and we have more humor than u americans have.... u dont know shit about iran
Anybody can get offended about anything. The next time you feel offended enough to write a tv. station. Stop pause, kill yourself, and rid the world of your stupidity.
I am a American and I feel bad for Iranians because people just listen to the news and think all middle easteneres who are terrists are Iranians!!!!!!!!!!!
there's nothing offensive :|, the black dude saying that is different, he said we should get sasha boren to play the character because he's from iran i think.... trying to turn something harmless to harmful
How about this "roozbehbey", how bout' you go back to your own piece of shit country and quit bad mouthing the only country on earth that is able to allow people like you to come here and live free and do whatever your heart desires. I am a Veteran of the Marine Corps, and did 2 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. American's are dying for you sorry filthy pieces of shit, and you want to come here and bad mouth us? fuck off!
Just more americans taking advantage of our freedom of speech....to show off their stupidity ......get these guys an education!.The USA is not the center of the earth.
I am sick of people not being able to talk about what is on there mind, everyone has an opinion, why the hell can't we say some thing about another race without getting fired, expelled or sued? If it was a black man talking no one would have said shit about it. If it was an iranian talking about a white man nothing would have been done about it. White people are targeted for this kind of shit!!!
Man, are we that sensitive! He kinda looks like Borat! BFD. There have never been Iranian players in the NBA. Small talk. ust small talk. He was paying the guy a compliment about the pass he made. A compliment! He followed it up with a minor after thought. Sambo?!? A Sambo big lip comment?!?!? I am as open minded as the next guy but to compare these comments to a Black Sambo reference is disappointing. I follow TYT occasionally, and enjoy it. This really is sad PC. I expect more from you guys.
Anyone saying this isn't offensive really doesn't know anything about basketball or racism. And for the record i dont know how the commentators didn't know Haddadi. He's been Asia's MVP two times. He was the leader in blocks and rebound in the Beijing Olympics, and 4th in scoring. How is it weird for a guy who impressed so much in international play to worked his way up to the NBA? Clearly those guys are a bunch of racist rednecks.
How shit are basketball commentators if they havent heard of all the players?
I mean im english and most football (soccer) fans no the majority of the players in the premiership and the commentators have to know all the players.
@JOEHATCH213 i agree- i defend racists rights to freedom of speech every once in a while. Cause....... shit, people have the right to be individuals :D
I bet if two basketball announcers made bigoted comments against a Christian or politically conservative player, these young turks would be celebrating him.
we iranian should let them know that in a real world an average iranian person is more goodlooking more talented and braver than a fat ass average american.
That Iran? The Real Iran? WTF is their a fake Iran somewhere? They can pass the ball? Seriously, what kind of idiots are they hiring for announcers? These statements are more embarrasing than offensive. However, the Borat comment, is very offensive that movie was the most jacked up movie I have ever seen, I couldnt even watch all of it.
@shadowwbn i liked that movie so much that i payed people's movie tickets so they can watch it too.... you guys should blame britain for that.. thats where Borat was created.
yeah it is a big deal , 99% of you americans dont know anything about what goes around the world and other countries . they are the champions of asia , which is a continent for your information and participated in the olympics . jesus you america just think about whatever goes INSIDE your country , get some information about the world for fuck sake . its pure stupidity
Man, you're right. I saw the Asian Championship series. Thrilling. Let me know when the Dead Goat Polo Championships take place!! 99%? Really? 99% don't know ANYTHING? Hmm. Sorry you feel that way. I saw a globe that gave a visual representation of Google search activity around the world. The US and Europe were lit up like a Christmas tree (Christmas reference merely a figure of speech) Much of Asia was void of light. Now, who's searching for information from without? Cry no more.
@roozbehbey Shut the fuck up. "twat" in what fucking way is that offensive dumbshit go fuck your dad some more oh and this time your mom wanted to know if she could join so be nice.
@roozbehbey 99% is a pretty large accusation... there was actually a study conducted about american citizens knowledge about world events and politics, and i think it was 36% of americans were neglegent to what was going on in the world
@roozbehbey 99%? You shouldnt criticize our lack of knowledge towards what is happening in other countries, if your going to do the exact same thing. 99% is absolutely ridiculous, 55-65% is more accurate. Granted this is not something to brag about, it is the reality of the situation. Especially when you take into consideration that the first 20-25% are our kids who are going to school and the rest adults. But, like I said, its not something to brag about.
@ChiefOren The English language word football may mean any one of several team sports (or the ball used in that respective sport), depending on the national or regional origin and location of the person using the word.
@roozbehbey Soccer is short for ..... fuck it. You should know if you're english. Just wanted to point out the fact that not everyone is aware of every little piece of unneeded trivia. Esp. if you are an ignorant "American" or "English" or who gives a flying fuck where you're from.
@roozbehbey Britain is one suck ass country. rains all the time. the food is as bland as shit. everyone has bad breath and rotten teeth. you cant understand 3/4ths of the things they say. its cold. and just plains sucks.
@mastercheif892 the rotten teeth part is actually a misconception considering half of all adult americans have gingivitis and only 1/3 of all british adults do
@roozbehbey hey as an american id say at least 10% knows whats going on around the world. i know, that number is still low, but we deserve a little more credit. dont lump us all together, because there are smart and worldly americans. oh, but these announcers fuck them. they probably couldnt even find Iran on a map
@roozbehbey I would say more like 70% and thats only because moost countries either dont report news, dont translate news, or dont give the US access to information
@roozbehbey You're not an American obviously, why are you telling me what should be a big deal in my country? Maybe if you spent a little more time thinking about what goes on in your own country we wouldn't have to fix your problems.
@roozbehbey We're working on it. My question still stands, why are you telling Americans what should be a big deal in their country? Take your 99% statistic and shove it. What do you know about America? (Videos on YouTube don't count as education) As if other countries care know everything about everyone; considering the amount of corruption in politics and one sided media.
@panaramixzan I live in America and know pretty much about this country. Be honest with urself, ur terrible in general knowledge. Barely, half of Americans can show Iraq, where ur in war, on a map. Moreover, we didnt tell u what should be a big deal in this country. We just said u HAVE TO learn to respect all the nations. Haddadi's grown in a country which doesnt have facilities comparable with the u.s. But he's been so talented to come here and be in a place which is a dream for many Americans
To AryanPersianProdigy: Your command of the English language, or lack thereof, should make your mother happy. Did she teach you how to talk? You don't realize many things young man. You claim I'm stupid? Don't you think I don't know that the Iranian elections were rigged? I hate the oppression that the Iranian people face. It is from a malicious government bent on destroying even its own people. Mark my words...Iran will one day be free...but there will be much blood shed for its freedom
Vicneff. My command of the English language is far more superior than your command will ever be. I attend Princeton University and have no doubt that my intellect is insurmountably higher than yours. So don't try to act all funny and cute. Bitch....i'm not going to bother to read your response so I've gotten the last word. If you comment or message me I will simply not read it and block you immediately faggot. :)
Oh no. Announcers made fun of a guy from Iran. Holy Crap. Somebody call the thought police and arrest those insulting men for having the audacity to make fun of someone because he's from Iran. Oh how dare they. How cruel. Such vulgarity. Such insentivity. We can't allow people to make fun of 'other people'. Unless of course... they're white. Then we're fine with that
@Lightmane321 yeah, those poor persecuted, downtrodden white men. They sure have had it rough the last 200 years. All that slavery, and being forced onto reservations, and herded into internment camps during WWII, and segregation, damn white people have it so tough. I can definitely see your point. (sarcasm, in case you missed it.)
in one corner we have a racist american fool (landof aryan) in the other corner we have a persian racist fool (odogun) and what's this...they have the SAME coach from ZION....ha ha, listen to each other you fools. you are like little puppets slowly getting raped by your Isreali masters...oh sorry, keep fighting nancy boys. go on Lucifer and his NeoCon mates are loving it...
wit all due respect.Iran has been known to pay palestinians families of sucide bombers compensation for attacking israel.if that aint terrorism pls tell me.
@gunit8590 ever hear of wikileaks? not fox news. when something is not convenient to another nation, they just go OH! its FOX News that reported that. how do you explain videos of thousands of Iranians chanting death to israel, death to the West. and have you seen videos of Ahmedinejad saying how Israel will be blown off the map. and no i didnt see those on fox news. next excuse
@rabble000 lol wikileaks... my dear friend i am iranian and you are telling me about people in iran who are canting death to israel and so on... looool thats all u hear about my country when iranians say "death to usa" they dont mean the people.....indeed iranians like americans(...) afterall its the americans who are calling us terrorists (the people!!) and wasnt mccain who chanted :" bomb bomb iran and ahmadinejad didn say that to irsrael that it was translated wrong!! by your media!!!
@gunit8590 it actually WASNT translated wrong. where i live there is a heavy persian community and most of my persian friends no farsi, they translated it themselves. and americans dont want death to iranians. we just want the government to be eradicated. i wouldnt wish death upon people who dont wish death upon myself. and ive heard plenty of iranians saying, chak tu shen (or smtn to that effect) which me roughly go eat sand, correct? which is a saying meaning go die.
@gunit8590 its dangerous to wear Jewish garments in public, my friend has been to iran, thats for sure. and compared to 1980, the Jewish community is very small. its not as bad as its made out to be (talking about discrimination) but its definitely there. and is there because of the government influence. the shah had great relations with Jews & his best friend & one of his head advisors moved from iran to where i live now and i know his family. the good relations between Jews & the gov. r gone
@rabble000 2 they have restaurants which offers"kosher" meat they have synagogues and they have jewish schools also israel offered the jewish community money for moving to israel and the people refused it !because they are iranian! once i was in a market place and many of jewelry stores and carpet stores were closed and i asked a police or basij (cant remeber) and he answerd: "you dont know that today is jom kippur ?" however all the problems we have in iran concerns all the people and not
@gunit8590 funny you mention the last part. we just celebrated purim. commemorating the events that happened in iran with haman when he tried to exterminate the jews. btw, the king at the time, achashverosh, was a scumbag and a fool who let haman carry out his evil decree. he didnt even come close to rescuing the jews.
@gunit8590 need i remind you that the arab/muslims enslaved black people long before we did and kept them enslaved for much longer and have many words the equivalent of the "n" word in arabic that is used to this day.
@odogun lol people talking about Iranians its funny come to LOS ANGLES all the rich people are Persian come to Beverly hills 40% of Beverley are persians just come to LA my parents been here for 9 years i bet they make more than any of you racists fucks here talking shit
@LandOfAryan u just a piece of shit.yeah right 40% and u fuckin arab came up with that number.how many of ur brothers did u sell for suicide bombing to have money to move to america?fuckin faggot,i bet ur ass i see u on tv soon,"attempted suicide bomber aka LandOfAryan caught trying 2blow up a subway"...stupid faggot
@odogun lol go on Wikipedia theres and see the number of persians in beverly hills w/e you are white black asian arab i dont care what you say me and my people have all the good jobs in LA and make the big money you and your parents probelly work for persians if they were in LA hahahhaha... im laughing my ass off
@LandOfAryan in your dreams bitch,ur parents work at a corner shop.poor fool..u dream ur parents have posh jobs...too bad,i think ur parents work for al qaeda or hamas...bitch...lol...Arab pig
@odogun , are you really that retarded? Curry? First of all any reference to curry would relate to Indians not persians you dumb fuck. Second, rag head? Wtf? We are not Sikhs (look it up if you aren't familiar with the term dumb ass), and we aren't arabs. We don't wear anything on our heads you insignificant waste of life. Do everyone on this earth a favor and jump off a cliff. Don't leave a note either because nobody gives a shit about your redneck ass.
Imho TYT is what you get when you mix yellow journalism with mindless political correctness presented by inarticulate mealy-mouthed poseurs. These guys can hardly string a sentence together let alone a coherent thought.
actually they did apologize on air the next game. and really it wasn;t that offensive. Ignorant ? maybe, but come on these guys have to talk for 2 hours every game, something might slip during the 2000+ games ralph lawler has broadcasted. Im not really sure how Haddidi not being able to play is offensive, he apparently cant.
They were more or less acting stupid, rather than offensive. The Borat thing shouldn't be accounted for AT ALL, since all he was saying is he bears a resemblance to a FICTIONAL character, and Borat isn't even from Iran OR the middle east, so there was no connection to his iranian nationality in that joke. Saying "iranians can pass the ball?!" was kinda stupid and stereotypical, but that was the only semi-offensive thing they said. Otherwise they were just acting stupid.
Being surprised that he was from Iran = Stupid, but not offensive.
Well, I guess Iranians can pass a ball = Offensive.
Replace that with any other nationality or something, and that group would be taking offense. "Well, I guess white people can pass a ball". "Well, I guess Jamaicans can pass a ball"
What a politically correct country we are becoming. There was nothing offiensive said. You want to see offensive, watch any black show on WB or TBS. Every white person on the show is either stupid or a slut. it seems like only white people or specifically Christians are a fair game for jokes and this is coming from a Jewish person. All they said was that he looked like Borat's brother. Borat was a character people. It's not like they said he looks like Hitler or ahmed dinajad people need 2 chill
you dont hear like canadians or hispanic people whining about it when they poke fun. nobody gives a shit its funny, some people just cant laugh laugh at themselfs, particually one race. * cough cough*
Haddadi is the third-string center for Memphis...he is Iranian. The country he comes from has a government that degrades women, persecutes non-muslims, censures freedom of speech, and condemns America, Israel, and most of the free-world. Oh BTW, they sponsor much of the terrorism in the Middle East and are building new facilities to produce weapons-grade uranium. So a couple of commentators are amazed something good can come out of Iran...no problem. Although Sasha Cohen could do Haddadi.
vic: If the announcers are amazed that something good could come out Iran, then they're pretty stupid. All they need to do is watch the news to know that the majority of Iranians want a free society, and are tired of having the pathetic mind-virus of religion shoved down their throats. I don't think the comments are a huge deal, and Haddadi is probably the LEAST offended by them.We need to realize that GOVERNMENTS (the elite few) create conflict, and THE GOVERNED are caught in the crossfire.
you are also forgetting the 1979 hostage crisis, denying the holocaust among other things. BUt the key here is that Iranian- AMERICANS (and not Eye-ranians). The ones who complained are American, and came to America to have freedom, and to escape the problems you were discussing before
That is the government, not the people. That is a major problem with Americans like you. You severely lack the ability to differentiate the actions of a corrupt government with the character, success, and abilities Iranian people possess. First off, the government does not have anything to do with terrorism. They have no concern for terrorism or taking down anyone. They want to spread their religion and make it more prominent in the world. Learn your shit bitch.
@AryanPersianProdigy How do you logically think that the Iranian government doesn't have anything to do with terrorism...? They had "free" elections recently...surprise results....NO! The government won re-election...same crap again. Their president spouts anti-jew hatred and thumbs his nose at the American establishment.
@vicneff are you retarded? Ignorant Americans like you make me laugh hysterically. You act like you know everything but you truly don't you fucking moron. The elections have a far deeper meaning than anything you could ever comprehend. You aren't an Iranian so you can't understand you fucking dumb ass. The elections were rigged in order for the Islamic regime to maintain control and oppression over the people. Nothing to do with terror. The U.S. is more related to terror. WAR WARWAR
@AryanPersianProdigy yah but you guys should cut off the petro-dollar then, and DONT go to euros or british pounds.. sell it in iranian currency. Why negotiate with a nation of people that you think are violent and always like WAR WAR WAR... maybe the leaders in your country are happy with usa being like that.. and they are friends with american war leaders behind the scenes. AND I do admit it is true that most North Americans (canada,mexico,usa) are not well informed in global politics
@utube793 Deluded? Right Wing? American? Informed through propaganda? So do I call you an enlightened Mahmoud Ahmadinejad butt kisser from Iran? No. You probably fantasize about you and him cutting the heads off of Jews and Christians to please Allah. Terrorism is real. Terrorists blowing up little kids in the name of Allah is just like the Nazis and Communists Chinese killing Jews and Christians during the 1940s. The logic is just screwed.
@vicneff That is actually quite an ignorant and uneducated opinion. Iran (Persia) is one of the oldest countries and richest cultures in the World, and to simply equate it to a terrorist state... I don't know, it seems that one really gets some bad education from the media. Anyways, Hadadi had that great moment with Caspi, the first Israeli NBA player. If these stupid commentators actually followed, they would no better than see an evil Iranian in this noble giant.
@montenegrin2010 I know more about Persia than you will ever...but the past testimonial of a rich and vibrant culture is over shadowed by the past 50 years of corruption and terrorism. The Shah was just as much of a tyrant as Ahmadinejad, but the Iranian people are the ones to suffer. My Iranians friends who fled Shiraz in the early 80s told me about the Shah's atrocities and how that the marja was just as bad. What was done in the name of Allah was vicious and any who opposed such were killed
@vicneff Well,who knows more is highly debatable,but I'm glad if I have someone educated to talk to. I say again, it is wrong to equate Iran to an evil nation. But even regardless of that, I think it would be foul to see Hadadi as a representative of such evil. As I said in the previous post, if those announcers did their homework they would know he's a nice guy who befriended an Israeli, which has to be an amazing feel-good story. Instead, he got insulted and compared to Borat. That make sense?

That Iran? The Real Iran? WTF is their a fake Iran somewhere? They can pass the ball? Seriously, what kind of idiots are they hiring for announcers? These statements are more embarrasing than offensive. However, the Borat comment, is very offensive that movie was the most jacked up movie I have ever seen, I couldnt even watch all of it.

@shadowwbn i liked that movie so much that i payed people's movie tickets so they can watch it too.... you guys should blame britain for that.. thats where Borat was created.

Man, you're right. I saw the Asian Championship series. Thrilling. Let me know when the Dead Goat Polo Championships take place!! 99%? Really? 99% don't know ANYTHING? Hmm. Sorry you feel that way. I saw a globe that gave a visual representation of Google search activity around the world. The US and Europe were lit up like a Christmas tree (Christmas reference merely a figure of speech) Much of Asia was void of light. Now, who's searching for information from without? Cry no more.

@roozbehbey 99%? You shouldnt criticize our lack of knowledge towards what is happening in other countries, if your going to do the exact same thing. 99% is absolutely ridiculous, 55-65% is more accurate. Granted this is not something to brag about, it is the reality of the situation. Especially when you take into consideration that the first 20-25% are our kids who are going to school and the rest adults. But, like I said, its not something to brag about.

and also most of the jews distuingish between that
because most of them dont have any relation to israel since they are living there for thouthands of years
the jewish community is just small because at the beginning they didnt know how the government will be

They were more or less acting stupid, rather than offensive. The Borat thing shouldn't be accounted for AT ALL, since all he was saying is he bears a resemblance to a FICTIONAL character, and Borat isn't even from Iran OR the middle east, so there was no connection to his iranian nationality in that joke. Saying "iranians can pass the ball?!" was kinda stupid and stereotypical, but that was the only semi-offensive thing they said. Otherwise they were just acting stupid.
Fiberawptic 2 years ago
Being surprised that he was from Iran = Stupid, but not offensive.
Well, I guess Iranians can pass a ball = Offensive.
Replace that with any other nationality or something, and that group would be taking offense. "Well, I guess white people can pass a ball". "Well, I guess Jamaicans can pass a ball"

Haddadi is the third-string center for Memphis...he is Iranian. The country he comes from has a government that degrades women, persecutes non-muslims, censures freedom of speech, and condemns America, Israel, and most of the free-world. Oh BTW, they sponsor much of the terrorism in the Middle East and are building new facilities to produce weapons-grade uranium. So a couple of commentators are amazed something good can come out of Iran...no problem. Although Sasha Cohen could do Haddadi.
vicneff 2 years ago 3
vic: If the announcers are amazed that something good could come out Iran, then they're pretty stupid. All they need to do is watch the news to know that the majority of Iranians want a free society, and are tired of having the pathetic mind-virus of religion shoved down their throats. I don't think the comments are a huge deal, and Haddadi is probably the LEAST offended by them.We need to realize that GOVERNMENTS (the elite few) create conflict, and THE GOVERNED are caught in the crossfire.

yankees032778 2 years ago
That is the government, not the people. That is a major problem with Americans like you. You severely lack the ability to differentiate the actions of a corrupt government with the character, success, and abilities Iranian people possess. First off, the government does not have anything to do with terrorism. They have no concern for terrorism or taking down anyone. They want to spread their religion and make it more prominent in the world. Learn your shit bitch.

@vicneff That is actually quite an ignorant and uneducated opinion. Iran (Persia) is one of the oldest countries and richest cultures in the World, and to simply equate it to a terrorist state...

If these stupid commentators actually followed, they would no better than see an evil Iranian in this noble giant.

@montenegrin2010 I know more about Persia than you will ever...but the past testimonial of a rich and vibrant culture is over shadowed by the past 50 years of corruption and terrorism. The Shah was just as much of a tyrant as Ahmadinejad, but the Iranian people are the ones to suffer. My Iranians friends who fled Shiraz in the early 80s told me about the Shah's atrocities and how that the marja was just as bad. What was done in the name of Allah was vicious and any who opposed such were killed
vicneff 1 year ago
@vicneff Well,who knows more is highly debatable,but I'm glad if I have someone educated to talk to. I say again, it is wrong to equate Iran to an evil nation. But even regardless of that, I think it would be foul to see Hadadi as a representative of such evil. As I said in the previous post, if those announcers did their homework they would know he's a nice guy who befriended an Israeli, which has to be an amazing feel-good story. Instead, he got insulted and compared to Borat. That make sense?
