Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers is spending his summer vacation in Europe as a member of Team USA. Things are going great on the court -the squad is undefeated- but even with the team’s success Granger can’t wait to get back to the sweet air of the United States. According to Granger’s Twitter account Europeans don’t wear deodorant and smell like dead donkeys.. Which begs the question, when has Danny Granger smelled dead donkeys before?
*UPDATE*
Danny Granger returned to the scene of the crime to clear the air about his funky Europeans tweet. He claims he wasn’t talking about the people because you know, “How come nobody in Europe wears deodorant?” can easily be mistaken for a slam on Europeans. But it’s all good. Granger likes Turkey and he admits that his hometown of New Orleans also has the aroma of dead donkeys:
Time for Granger to quit while he’s behind.
Get college basketball picks that actually win when you follow our top NCAA basketball handicappers.
Way to go insulting all 50 countries in Europe and the city of New Orleans after spending a few days in hot and sweaty sports arenas in Turkey.
and if i use the n word, that makes me racist rite?
strange.
yeah you’re right man. turks smell like shit. i went istanbul last year and there is smelling like dead animals and i almost die there. you konw man muslims don’t like bathing. i think they are bathing once a month:)
Oh muslims looove bathing. I believe you never take a shower.
hey goat you are totally right. turks have 3 wifes and they are smell like shit. i think their wifes are 9 years old. they couldn’t care husbands. they are playing dolls hahaha. turks never take a shower. i think they take a shower once a year…don’t go to muslim countries. they will kidnap your daughter and they will marry to your little child….
turkey is in asia, not europe anywayz
? dont agree with granger. ? stayed in a hostel with 3 turks for two days. and they took shower every morning.
@iowa_bull
turks have not 3 wifes.One wife per man.it’s a law.
married couple must be 18 years old.you cant marry if you 17.it’s a law too.
@iowa_bull , how disgusting comment is this ? . Turks dont have three wifes I m living in turkey for 23 years didnt see something like that :S:S do you know where turkey is , redneck? I m sure you cant show me the place of turkey on map , so shut up .
First of all Turkey isn’t Europe.. secondly its true they do smell bad… not only in Turkey but those of them (Kurds too) who live in Europe.. Goddammit!
Danny’s new twitter:
“…i was not reffering to the people for all you people who are having a fit!! i actually like turkey..”
Well, its true, we all love turkey… especially that juiciest, mouth watering Thanksgiving turkey!
First, I want to mention that turkey is european an asian at the same time. That´s nothing new and if you don´t believe look at the map.
Second, the majority of the turkish people takes much care of hygiene because its not only a part of their culture (look at the public harams in turkish citys, you can´t find nothing comparable in another european country nor in an american state), its even a important part of their religion. The muslims have too do an ritual cleaning everoy time before they go praying to Allah. Now when you notice that a big part of the turkish people prays 5 times a day it sounds ridiculous to say they are dirty. I know turkish families and remember well when I was a little kid and accompaigned a turkish friend for the first time to his home. I live in Germany where the people take much care of hygiene but when I stepped into the flat (of course without shoes) I felt really dirty and inferior. And later did the same experiences in other turkish families. Turkish people are much cleaner than the rest of europeans or americans for sure.
The basketball player made his commentary after a match against Brazil. Maybe he thinks Brazil is european :). The most amusing part of the story is that he has the nervs oder simply the foolishness to talk like deodarant and comparable hygiene articles like perfume are inventions of the US. I wouldnt´t wonder if he believes that the english language has its roots in the USA too. It´s a pitty that a little but remarkable part of the american people have little school education. In many european TV-shows american people are asked general knowledge questions like about geography, politics, history and so on only to have a good laugh. And genereally the ungrounded hubris of these people leads to the biggest laugh. To put an example: Go to an european forum an read the commentaries about what Danny Granger said about europeans. There is few outrage or discussion. Therefore the most frequently commentary you can find is: HA HA HA HA :)
People – Team USA started with exhibition games in Europe before getting to Turkey for the FIBA tourney. His comment seems to referring to his whole European experience, not just Turkey. @Baris, I think you’re confusing xenophobia and racism. Granger’s mentioning of Europe doesn’t mean only white people. Just like the US has blacks, whites, Asians, Latinos, etc. citizens, so does Europe. “Nobody in Europe wears deodorant” means Tony Parker and Boris Diaw stink just as much as Pao Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki. As you were…
Turkey is NOT Europe it’s Middle East
AMERICANS ONCE AGAIN FAIL IN GEOGRAPHY!!!!
(his tweet has been blogged in every language imaginable btw….)
I bet This stupid Yankee nigga thought Europe is a country and those stinky Muslims turds are actual europeans. Way to go insulting all the people from the 50 countries of a Continent. Daym this stupid nigga has a peanut brain.
@anen euro alex…hey people u dont look map of world??? turkey is a bridge between europe and asia..i asked everyone where is in istanbul??? istanbul is in europe..yes we have somewhere from asia…and im laughing the comments about turkey..in turkish rules u cannot marry 2 or more people..u only marry one person its a laws..and nobody smell bad..coz muslim people must take a shower before praying..they pray 5 times in a day..im asking all the world people and danny granger!!! who is take a shower 5 times in a day?? this tweets really bullshit..i think granger talking about their smells..and if u dont now any knowledge about turkey no comment plz..because are laughing u are!!
hey guys.Turkey is ?stanbul..have you been in istanbul?
Everybody forgets that we ride camels yeah.
Why do you think FRENCH invented PERFUME, because they don’t like to shower! :) most europeans don’t shower every day, that is a known fact, especially eastern european, So what? Humans are animals, get used to the IDEA. There is a chance of getting cancer by using Deodorant ;)
Cheers
americans!!! when i red this comment, i thought a racist player trying to humiliate turkish people. but after find out who wrote the comment, i smiled. because it was an american:))) how could i get this comment seriously.
but i dint get one thing. this guy is a player, and they are sweating more then every people, so, how come his nose could be sensitive like that:))
How would a black man stoop so low as to put some 300 million people under one prejudiced umbrella? Though the BOY would’ve learned his lesson from his elders already. Boy, this guy really was in the “how tall ya wanna be”- line instead of the one where they handed out a brain.
What a fuckin loser lol
Danny Granger! Yuo stink as a SHIT! You black wanker! I’m coming to Turkey to beat shit out of you
Eh eh, Danny Granger, Pride of America (just United States)
Only French stink here
yeah. we smell. we ride camels here and have at least ten wifes per man. now get out of istanbul never come back and tell your friends to never visit here.
Soviet Union star, a real russian donkey. Are U still a Slave?
Turkey’s geographical position is konwn as “eurasia”. That means that country is in both europe and asia. Even their football(it’s soccer to you yankees) teams are a part of UEFA(european football assocation).
@iowa_bull ahahahah if u’re kidding, u have a great sense of homour! or if u’re not, now i’m totally agree with this sentence ”ignorance is bliss!” lol :D oh sweet heaven! ur comment definitely made my day , cheers! ;)
Mr.D.Granger made an unheard discovery! All Europeans smell like dead donkeys! He drew this conclusion by visiting all 47 countries in Europe and sniffing 731,000,000 armpits.
Will this qualify him for a degree in Sociology……..? Or in Linguistics, since he needed 70 different languages to communicate ?
We can’t say that Turkey is completely not a European country nor an Asian country. It’s a Eurasian country, Turkey is in the boundary of the two continents. So Granger is half correct, geographically speaking. But, that tweet, is somewhat insulting to them. :)
If it wasn’t for the Europeans, his people would still be applying liberal amounts of hyena excrement on their bodies and go frolicking through the rain forest surrounded by mighty clouds of greenflies. Funny, eh?
Is it the bad educational system in the US or did he have grew up around morons. My guess is the second. Just another example how ignorant some American be. Can’t wait to see some late night shows today where there are gonna make fun of him.
In the end, an American is always good for a laugh. LOL
The Turks are muslim and they stink that´s a fact.It´s the same here in Germany with the Turks. In the Train or in the Bus they smell.I think it´s something about what they eat.To all the american Hillbillys who say that in Europe (and Turkey is 97% Asia)
they only shower once a week i say “dream on” most of you never left the states one single day. I´ve been all around the world and in the States too several times and i think there is absolutely no difference between christian european countries and the States concerning sanitation. But one thing is absolutely amazing, the Japanese don´t smell anyway none of them not even in a subway with thousands of them obviously sweating.At least Danny Granger is not a very smart guy but he could jump, that´s good enough to play ball.
@Fred, first of all, not all Turks are muslim. Besides probably most of the Turks you saw in your country are poor people they have to work for your country like slaves. I don’t expect much from them. I bet if they have a choice, they probably come back here and leave you with your precious country.
If it were not Europeans, this would be an African today rolled under
palm tree in Zumbalandu.
Okay, we smelled of dead donkeys, after they smells of dead Afghan victims where they killing civilians.
USA donks just stfu, sheeps population!

@Delimiyimben
Trashtalk, the Turks are 99,9% Muslim.The most of them do not work (and nobody works like a slave in germany stupid)The live by social welfare and they cause most of the crime in germany.If you are aible than watch the actual discussion in germany about muslim immigration. There are round about five million muslims in germany most of them turks and arabs.85% of the germans say the want them to go home the cost of muslim immigration in germany ist about twohundred billion euro a year. That´s quite a little too much for the “cultural values” they bring. But i know the bloody germans are all Nazis and that it is.
First of all, for you uneducated people out there; the “Middle East” is a region and NOT a continent. Turkey is partly in Europe and a majority of it is in Asia.
And as far as the wives and showering comments are concerned; you guys commenting must either be the uneducated blacks that we have here in the United States or some hillbilly from down south. Polygamy (having multiple wives) is illegal in Turkey so your dumb remarks and made up information is NOT necessary. As far as showering and the bad odor is concerned, there are MANY people in Europe who shower daily but just happen to sweat a lot during the course of the day that leads to body odor; something that we run into quite often here in America as well.
Danny Granger’s INGORANT comments are like me saying that all black people look like monkeys or that all white people are dumb and naive…. get a clue people and don’t stereotype!!
@fred ,, why dont you talk about germans attack the muslims? germans attack muslims home and mosques..They fire them at germany and their holy mosques..i think they hate your country..i lived 5 years in germany berlin..so many people smells so bad especially at busses and train…i had a close friends from there and smells badly..
i went istanbul last year. and they are totally stinky man. turks are really really stinky. they smell like dead animals. at istanbul black linened women every where. i hate them. i think muslims take a shower once a month. i saw many polygamist beard man. first man going and then 3-4 black linened women following him. i think man does foursome dude. pervs. turks are stinky stinky. stupid muslims. donkey fuckers.
@Brit. But who said that perfume was invented of french people? Nobody. It´s much better, because the egyptians did. The egyptian pharaoes used it for the first time approximately 1500 b.c.. Then much much later this behaviours arrived in western europe during the crusades about 1000 years before something like USA even existed.
@anen: Your commentary is even funnier :”Turkey is Not Europe, it´s Middle East.” ??????? What´s the point? I mean, though beeing part of the anglo-saxon determination of Middle East it still belongs to Europe and Asia at the same time :D.
@Fred. I think there is nothing to add to your highly differentiated declarations about turkish culture in Germany ;)
Please more commentaries like these :D, you should be payed for making laugh the people.
There are some really funny motherf. out here who want the turkish people to be the smelling cowboys now :)
Its funny how important education can actually be.. there are those americans who actually know whats going on around them, and have learned to appreciate or at worse tolerate other cultures and people. then there are those guys, who either come from states like idaho, dakota, ohio, nebraska etc, or have never been to college and around international people and actually think US is the planet Earth. dont wanna be absolute or anythin, but granger just showed us 1. he still believes europe is a country, and 2. that he could never get higher than a 700 in his SATs. peace
Muslims are the most important rules for cleaning.
take a shower every day is.
but American to make the gall speak
Some people dont like having shower ;some people like taking a bath everyday…and you can not make this general…if this situation disturbs to you ,you can warn that one who smells badly,
I love my people
LOOOL xD
Ok that`s a very obvious xenophobic twit. but what`s more surprising is the reply of the most Europeans. instead of criticizing his racist attitude, majority of the European commentators are trying to prove that Turkey is not in Europe. so if turkey is not in Europe, making racist comments about the Turks is o.k. for you? That`s pretty sad Europe is becoming more racist, xenophobic and secluded everyday. I don`t know if Turks smell like dead donkey, but most of your minds smells like it.
Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Stop arguing with Americans. They’re dumb. You cannot teach them either. It’s 2012 and they still think that we turks are the same with arabs. Wake up you faggots, Turkey is part europen andpart asian. NOT ALL THE TURKS ARE MUSLIM. I’m Turk, and I’m NOT muslim. It was 100 years ago, when Turkish Empire was conquerred arab lands. NOT ANYMORE. WE DON’T HAVE MORE THAN ONE WIVE, WE DON’T HAVE CAMEL AND WE TAKE SHOWER as much as you do. Besides all that, we’re aryans, NOT BLACK! NOT ARAB!
ALL THE THINGS I SAID IS SCIENTIFIC FACTS. THEY’RE PROVEN. SEARCH FOR IT. DO NOT BELIEVE OLD SHIT.
