We can only hope that what happened in Germany a while back won't ever happen again. But today when reading this article the thoughts have to go thru my mind. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080804/ap_on_re_as/china_attack We know the terrorists are out there, and they would love to make some kind of impact on the Olympics. Now it appears they are crossing the boarders and from terrorists hotbeds and making their way thru china. I wonder why?? I don't care how good security is or how much army the china nationals have, this could be very dangerous for the athletes.
Nenad, Yi are both in the Olympics. That's no good. OT: Found this a little funny. For Team USA: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Athletic Trainer: Keith Jones, Houston Rockets</div> Great, grab the trainer from the most injury-prone team in the NBA
"glad no nets are on the olympic team" yea, i totally think it would be better if other teams' players were hurt or died, better for the Nets!
forgot about Yi, whats wrong with me? get a life..........here take my hand and i'll help you down off your high horse...

Nets players or not, you should still be worried for them.
and why do you care who i worry for? If there was no terrorist threat i'd still be concerned for nets players cause when you play year round you will have more injuries the next season. I do care though, Jason Kidd is still one of my favorites and and do hate to see anything happen to him, but last time i checked this is a nets forum.
You came off as if you would only be worried about Nets players. I'm pretty sure that's not the case, just use better word choice next time, okay?
Correlation does not equal causation. This topic is all over the place, stop putting garbage on this forum. You're mixing terrorism, sports and China with Nets and NBA players. It's like me saying there's American Soldiers dying in Iraq and there's Americans in the Olympics. Be VERY AFRAID! The Iranians just played FIBA basketball this week. We didn't mention Israel launching preemptive war. Keep politics out of sports.

Its not uncommon for fans to be more worried about the health/well-being of their players over another team. If anything, if I was a Nets fan, I'd be jumping all over you for not wanting to have a Nets player on the Olympics..... why wouldn't you want someone who is good enough to be on the Olympic team on the Nets?
cause when they did they usually had more injuried the following year. Jason Kidd and RJ come to mind. As far as this year the nets don't deserve any players being on the Olympic team, but if they did i'd be concerned cause when you play year round and don't give your body a small rest, injuries usually occur.
The legitimate national aspirations of the Uiyghur people should not be confused with terrorism. This was an attack on the Chinese military establishment and not civilians. The Chinese state has used the threat of terrorism to round up Uiyghur nationalists. And no one is coming to China. They live there.
People need to understand this incident occur on the western borders of China, thousands of miles from Beijing.
your right just because they border Afganastan and Paskastan (sp) its must be crazy to think they would cross an unprotected border. I'm sure Bin Laden wants nothing to do with the Olympics anyway, what was i thinking.... Its so far away they could never figure out a way to Beijing. Besides if they were to do something they are probably already there.

Since 911, Madrid and London has both been bomb. So what makes you think NYC or LA isn't at risk of an attack? There is just so many people who want the Olympic games to fail for whatever reason, that anything negative happening in China is associated with the Olympics in an attempt to drag it down. It's pretty shameless really.
