Why are Ethiopian men such players?
138473
I have no experience with Ethiopian men, but I do with men from Togo and Nigeria. If you have ever walked around in the market you will know how horny these guys are. It seems to be a cultural thing. I know in Nigeria well into the 1950s having multiple wives was a very common practice for Igbo people. Perhaps some of that lingers in there subconcious.

Nigerians are stereotyped as con-artists and corrupt officials. I work with a Nigerian and I think he's a great guy. I don't know anything else about Nigeria but I wouldn't especially like to go there - sorry!

What country?  Egypt?\nRastafari\nEgyptian/Ethiopian roots.

I've been there. It is an interesting country. The official language is Amharic, but there are about 85 different languages spoken within the country. It is not unusual to need more than one interpreter to talk to someone. \n\nThe capital city is Addis Ababa. Most of the city is fairly primitive, with people living in shacks and cooking with wood or charcoal fires. The country is dangerous enough that many restaurants will search you with a metal detector before you can enter. Many stores like bookstores also will check you before you enter and as you leave. Large hotels will check under your car for bombs before you can enter and have metal detectors at the doors in most of the large hotels. Smaller hotels will not do this at all. Street vendors are very common, selling everything you can imagine, and beggars are common as well. Because of the war with Eritrea, Ethiopia has large numbers of wounded veterans that are missing limbs. It is not unusual to see people sleeping on the sidewalks at night. \n\nThere are some very luxurious hotels in Ethiopia, and the largest was built by an Arab sheik. I was told the hotel cost $180 million to build, but I cannot verify that. Here is a picture;\nhttp://www.starwoodhotels.com/luxury/search/hotel_detail.html?propertyID=149\nThis is a stark contrast to the very poor neighborhoods that surround it. The President's residence is in a compound surrounded by guards who will stop you if you try to take photographs. This is strictly forbidden. \n\nOutside of Addis, Ethiopia is a very undeveloped and wild place. Some smaller towns have hotels and modern accommodations, but many 'towns' are more like collections of dirt-floored shacks. I traveled toward Djibouti into the Great Rift Basin and spent several months near the Awash River. This area is populated by tribal people who live primarily by herding goats, cattle, and camels. They migrate as they must in order to find grass and live in small tents made of goat skins and sticks. There are several tribes in the area that are not friendly to one another. In fact, most males in this area over the age of about 12 carry an AK-47 rifle. They seldom use them as they have a hard time getting ammunition, but they do sometimes skirmish with neighboring tribes. These tribal natives also carry long knives shaped like a dagger and held in a sheath made from goatskin. \n\nThese tribal groups are Muslim, yet they follow very different customs from most Muslims. They do pray regularly and observe Ramadan. The women wear nothing above the waist, and the only way you can tell a married woman from a single woman is that she wears a small head cover. From what I observed the women do most the work taking care of the herds of animals. Other tribal groups in that area survive primarily by weaving mats from reeds and selling them to others. \n\nThe military arms are left over from the time when Ethiopia was a communist country and the Russians were supplying large numbers of arms. There are bombed out tanks still to be seen sitting along the roads. \n\nThe area where I was at in eastern Ethiopia had one school that went to 8th grade and was built by the French. The children did not have pencils and paper in any quantity and were constantly begging me for pencils. I left without any pencils or pens as I had given them all away to children who considered a mere pencil to be a wonderful present. If they do well enough in school up to 8th grade, they can go to Addis Ababa to attend high school, over 400 kilometers away. Most do not and from what I saw many children did not attend school at all.  I wanted to find a way to send school supplies to this area, but discovered it is almost impossible because there is no such thing as mail delivery in much of the country. There would be no way I could deliver a case of pencils and paper to that village without traveling back there myself. \n\nThe area has a large drug problem related to a plant called Chat that i

I don't know...I mean they play like beans and rice. I guess it is due to the Popularization and also the Commercialization of soccer/football. It is getting pretty ridiculous. I don't know about the economy though cuz I don't live in England.

well hututu isnt any game, i think ur taklin bout this game called "kabbadi" in which all players keep mumbling the word hututu under their breath n if they stop sayin the word, they're out\nThere r 2 teams, n theres a line between them, one player frm one team goes into the area of the other team & n whosoever is touched by tht player is out, but if all players of that team catch tht player or he/she stops mumbling hututu then he's out. The team left with max players wins. It isnt very commonly played now & even if it is it's only in the villages tht are very backward!

I think you meant this question the other way around? Not sure but Eto'o has been subject to great amounts of racial abuse (monkey chants etc)and has garnered more press about racism than any other african player in La Liga.\n\nHe did take a very strong stand against Real Zaragoza fans but he has been subjected to this for awhile now.\n\nIt's simply disgraceful and unfair to any player who is targeted by racists while doing their job.

I think your boyfriend has no reason not to play you because Addis Ababa is a land of beutiful girls. As a man i can tell you once you step into that city your heart will change. Your boyfriend might love you and alll but it is very hard for him to come out without doing something. I am sorry i am just trying to be honest.. so please talk to your boyfriend and try to convince him not to play you and also keep on reminding hime the good times you had together and nice things about you.

you have to try to understand what happened in arouba, he might have met someone and is having second thoughts about you...you never know with guys, you have to be always on your toes....he might never admit it, if that was what happened, but you will understand it...as you said, men have this problem with being truthful and straight forward, at least 99% of them, i guess it's got something to do with their egos, they think it's clever to play games with us and it shows they are more in control...strange creatures and so immature, right??!

Some football factions have an interest in allowing the results of matches to be influenced.\n\nWho's to say some games aren't bought?\n\nWe certainly know that Italian teams in the Sere A can't be trusted 100%.\n\nUntil Fifa actually THINK about what these "footballers" and their antics (diving, checking, looking for free kicks) are doing for the greater good of the game, we'll all just have to accept that teams who exploit the referee the best will ALWAYS win...\n\nAustralia went out there and played fairly, like MEN, and were robbed by a soft decision. If Italy had of earned that match all would be well, but seeing as they could only "win" by fowl means they have lost my respect permanently.

THE PLAYER WHO PLAYS FOR THE COUNTRY AND NOT FOR HIMSELF

To me - Yes!  In part because it is one of the most culturally diverse sports.  Look at some of the player profiles and you'll see players from Ghana playing pro in England, etc.  At our local college we have players from England, Ireland, Costa Rica and South Africa.  Its great getting to meet so many unique people from different backgrounds that all come together for the love of the game.

The high salaries for players give specially talented individuals an opportunity to generate an income large enough to help entire communities if they are so inclined. many players give a tremendous amount of money to underprivileged communities. \nConversely, some players are treated as a commodity themselves. This gives them a warped sense of materialism. Playing only for the dollar, and believing the money makes them special.

Trust me, they aint that weak in football as you think. It just that they are lack of physical ability such as stamina, height, etc than the caucasian. But they make it up with their skills! Go to China/Korea/Japan or even some countries like Indonesia. They could juggle and pass the ball as good as the brazilian. Why you don't see that many Asian in the international league is because you could get same player with the same skills in Europe + the heighthen physical ability.
