no samoth you tell me why blacks dominate those sports that i have mentioned, you are the one tooting your horn thinking you know everything
why are the fastest sprinters black?
why is 90% of the nba black?
why do the kenyans win every marathon?
why is 90% of the nfl wr and rbs black?
i will tell you why blacks dont dominate hockey, its because they dont play it
now are you telling me the reason blacks dominate these other sports is because they grew up poor? i really hope thats not going to be your answer

Hammy, I hate to break this to you, but your question was already answered.

Yes, there are physical differences between races (I said this already), but its foolish to link that to slavery (Antrax said this a few posts back). That said, sports is a business. If you want to win, you are going to chose people that are physically stronger.

Its no different than the Chinese or white people dominating sports like swimming. Black people are not built to excel in that sport. I can get down to 12%bf and get small, but I won't excel at it. My hips will cause a splash far greater than someone that is Chinese.

Hope this helps.

well the arguement between them two now appears to be genetics.

but im still hearing arguments from samoth and gd saying that its because of socieoeconomic conditions and thats absurd
being poor doesnt make you run faster
doesnt make you have a vertical of 40 inches to tomahawk jam a basketball
or make a cut like barry sanders that fakes the jock off of someone and then run down the sidelines with 4.3 speed to score a td
its genetic
why the hell do people have to think that its racist to say that?

You have to admit that there are generalizations in this thread. Maybe not by you, but definitely by other posters. The thread was fine. I come home, and its like WTF??

It is genetic, I stated that 5 pages ago.

Read my re-edited post above this one.

okay, here we dominate in Track n Field too, yet the 2000 Olympic 200m champ was a guy from Greece, and AU has some fast mofos too. So why aren't white people here fast? Answer=they are, but they'd rather do other sports.

Nebraska won the Big 12 4x100 with 4 white dudes last year, so why does everyone say white guys are slow?

youre biased because all the chicks running weigh under 100lbs

everyone thinks that kenyans are the ultimate runners, when this guys achievements blow many of them away. the guys a living legend

In order to discuss this, you can't generalize the black race (the point of another argument I & BB were making). The black race is very diverse. First of all, American Blacks are so dilute & mixed with other races & cultures. Hence, my discussion about the slave trade and geography of Africa.

Using myself as an example, I'm not a sprinter. Prior to EF, I was training to be a long distance runner. For someone w/ my height & frame, my time was dropping down pretty fast. Whereas, most African Americans are better short distance runners/sprinters.
