I Examine The Implications Of The Dream Team 24 Years Later

     The Dream Team.  If you're a 30ish red blooded American you grew up with them.  They steam rolled the entire world at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and inspired the bad guys in the Warner Bros' classic hit Space Jam.  That was 24 years ago.

(This was the only picture I could find of the men's team together. What the fuck?)

     Let's fast forward 20 years to 2012.  The Spanish men's team took a silver medal, although the women's team didn't qualify.  2016 rolls around and the men take a bronze and the women take silver.  Do I think it's a coincidence that Spain becomes a powerhouse after these guys:

had about 20 hours a day to take their talents off the court when they were done using them on the court?

     FACT: the amount of condoms at the Barcelona Olympic village was the 3rd lowest recorded number for a summer Olympics games, reaching back to 1988.*  The two lowest years were the woefully under-resourced Seoul and Atlanta games.  And let's not forget the 6 day training camp the Dream Team spent in Monaco.  Does the training camp count as part of the Olympics?  Because if not, there's 0% chance condoms were purchased and/ or brought.  I guarantee you guys named 'The Dream Team' do not have the low motility of a snack blogger.

     Now you may be asking, "Andrew, what are you getting at?"  Well I'm not entirely sure.  But from what I know about futbol (yeah I watched the Olympics, Sweden give me a call) is that their fans are passionate.  And Barcelona FC is one of the biggest in the world.  I've been told that passion often translates into the bedroom, kitchen, back of the car, what have you.  The location of the sex is not important.  What is important, is that these passionate futbol fans are also basketball fans.  By which I mean the Dream Team impregnated every woman within eyesight 24 years ago.

PS- This was originally supposed to be an afterthought to a snack review but I rolled with this Daniel Tosh joke more than I expected so I will have that review for you tomorrow.
