In season 16, Toccoa Panthers were relegated from league USA III.5

I know being promoted to IV for the first time is a challenging time,

hrudey, while I appreciate your great concern for OUR team, I must request that you stop slandering the name of this fine franchise. They have fought tooth and nail for this country and clawed their way into D3 to see their dreams ripped out by a 3-19 season in which they RELEGATED back into D4. They need much coddling and encouragement to come back from that type of beating and your criticism is not helping. We must treat them as babies or small children so they don't go down the road of shame like Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Jose Canseco, and Cory Feldman to name a few. We must lift them up in this time of urgency and help them rise from the ashes back to the glory days when they were at the pinnacle of D4.

However, I must agree that this foreign insurgence of players is similar to that of the Toronto Raptors over the last 5 years or so....and it has the same success rate. Could it be the different languages causing a barrier thus deteriorating on court team cohesiveness? Could it lead to the coach losing control of his players and making him launch into uncontrollable tirades that wind up distancing the team from himself? Could it lead to racist/ethnic hate? Could it lead to a power struggle between all the players and the Spanish armada that has been built? This could wind up being world war 3 and the only person that would be able to put out the fire is baller_cl....errr...I mean Daniel Tosh. Although the organization does not want me to be the next coach I fully believe that the current manager and general manager need to go! They have turned America's Team into the European Union plus a few communists from Russia and China. Tosh would bring a humor that could unite the world as well as America's Team. With a new found unity I believe we all would be proud to be Americans again....even if the entire team isn't....

A round of applause for you sir. But I think that these things can be settled. The players are getting restless, and their 4 losses in a row are beginning to grind on them. If you were made manager, could you guarantee regular ice cream socials so the players have an outlet, a place to unwind? We treat them merely as robots, meant to play basketball, and to play basketball only. This is the greatest mistake the current manager has made. Would you be willing to break the trend and treat these foreigners as human beings and give them the attention they need as status-crazed, performance-enhancing-drug-using athletes? Only when their egos are stroked can we truly tap into their potential. What say you to this, are you ready for this kind of challenge?

Everyone is blaming management for these losses by America's team, but what are they suppose to do. Its not there fault, when America's team plays americans they win in 99% of situations, no matter what which means either
1. The other teams aren't really Americans and are illegal immigrants.
2. The other teams are illegally using dragons during the game.
3. Their entire league is rigged due to the other teams having connections with the refs.
4. umm... (insert reason here) is happening.

I'd think #2 is the most likely, but #4 could be anything so you never know.

Admittedly, no. I must agree with buckeye that i would not be a good fit. My passion for America's Team runs too deep to be able to manage all of the foreign needs and personalities....I think only Rosetta Stone can make the magic happen. Of course ice cream socials and pedicure parties are out of my realm as well. I'm too intense for that girly crap.

lol, I almost died laughing. Nice Find. Not only is Team America from Ecuador, but managed by a computerized player!

off-topic: why does England IV.11 have the "american dream team" (37841)? Scottie Pippen & Frank Groat (20116699) have meant way too much to USA basketball to simply let them languish overseas.

This is the best thread on the forums in a long time

Oh my. You nailed it with Rosetta Stone. That's funny.

I had seen that bit about demotion but I thought that was merely more attack propaganda spread by the anti-Panther media in order to attack them for not meeting the expectations one would expect from a D IV team. It's truly sad the length these America-haters will go to to bring down our beloved franchise.

I'm not sure that coddling is the way to go. After all, steel is tempered by fire, not cotton candy. We all expect, nay demand, that this franchise live up to its place in America's hearts, and if the current batch of foreign usurpers can not deliver the goods, we need to know now.

I can assure every person in America that I will not let them down on Tuesday when we play the Texas Terrors!

I'd be more comfortable hearing it from Daniel Tosh. In fact, can he handle all further press releases and conferences? I think that would instill some more hope in the American people. Either that or you can just hire Willis Lundy, I'm sure he'd be more than will to cuss everyone out.
