Orgins of the Pizza

[Potential]

What pizza are they getting? Pizza Pizza should give them free pizza, but I hope they get better pizza.

Funny as I thought that pizza originated from Mexico. After all, tomatoes came from the Americas. Perhaps it's mixture of cultures that it came from.

satire?

Seemingly. I read it before but having looked into it again I don't see anything suggesting that. Although tomatoes are from the Americas southern parts. It seems that consensus is that modern day pizza started in Naples. Or there about. Of course New Yorkers being New Yorkers, I saw some attempts to claim NYC. I also read an interesting article on Argentina specifically Buenos Aires. What with it's large Italian population.

Some interesting stuff I read. Poorer people would use hard bread as plates. With toppings on top. In a rich turn of irony the wealthier Italians did not trust tomatoes at first when it was introduced. I read this may have been because of the fact that they were using lead plates and the acidic nature of tomatoes would bring out the bad qualities of lead.

Speaking of hard breads. Greeks lay claim of pizza. As in pitta and wood fire ovens. Apparently they even colonized Naples. But don't stop there say the Egyptians and Persians we were first before the Italians and Greeks. Not so fast says China, Marco Polo stole ideas from us!

But most importantly I learned that pineapple on pizza originated from Canada. Plus one for the pineapple on pizza supporters.

I always felt fear was the best motivator. That's what I heard motivated the Raps to win the championship in 2018-19 (I.e., Nurse frequently threatened to kill players if they didn't step up). I guess such successful tactics don't work on the current roster anymore. Shame that it's pizza that motivated the guys to win 3 straight instead of an RPG to the torso at close range.

Imagine thinking that the players were only trying to win games so they would have a pizza party

You can't take anything metafisical says too seriously. Except on tanking. He or she is very serious when it comes to the tank.

It’s funny but also pretty embarrassing:

-bunch of grown men having a pizza party
-coach trying to incentivize players to win
-goal was so low, just 3 wins in a row
-we have only achieved this goal once this season
-the actual party happened the day after a loss

Not our finest hour. Darko needs to stop with these cheesy incentives.

I think it's fine, not really a big deal. Dudes just having fun and building team camaraderie
