One more post. It just isnt' a freakin sport that blacks care a whole lot about, man. I'm willing to admit that part of the reason there aren't more white sprinters is because culturally, in the us, it isn't a very popular thing to do for white teens. I think more so can be said about swimming. Blacks don't give a **** about swimming, dude. There are certain things, certain music, slang, way of talking..etc that are attributed to certain demographics. Blacks are into stuff like football, boxing, the sports that are more accessible to them.
Whites are into different stuff. Stuff like chess clubs, tennis, golf, swimming, those are all club, members type of sports, man. Kids from the ghetto don't have time for that ****. They are simply not into it. Just admit it. like 97 percent of blacks don't give a **** about swimming. Also, just out of curiousity, can you give me a link or show some evidence that shows that swimmers earn more than track and field sprinters. I find that really hard to believe, because michael phelphs is like the only swimmer that I can think of that has been big in the media. As far as sprinters there's carl lewis, michael johnson, usain bolt, jacky joyner kersey..etc. those are all household names. When you say swimming, phelps is the only name you can think of. |

Do you know Liu Xiang? He's a Chinese man that holds the world record in the 110m hurdles. For someone who states blacks don't give a **** about mma you know a lot about the athletes who compete in it. So you either follow just black athletes which explains your mental isolation of sports, or you are among the minority of black (according to you) who watches the sport. Which is it? Regardless, genetics play a role but I think culture plays a larger role. Look at basketball. In America whites don't play as much basketball. In the NBA there are less american whites than eastern european whites. Its not that eastern euros are superior and I think everyone will agree except for maybe the slovaks, ;-). Its because they were poor and didn't have video games and rich parents. They saved their money and bought a basketball and put it to good use. Just as children in poorer areas of the US. Blacks don't care about swimming as much, but neither do most whites to be honest. However it is a sport that is more appealing to whites than to blacks. Just as basketball and football is more appealing to black than to whites. It goes both ways. My prediction is your going to see a ****load of Chinese athletes in the next few years who blow you all away. I see my students who have a college class to play sports. Most of them play ping pong, basketball, and tennis and thats a good thing for their health and mind. With so many playing sports you are going to have a few great athletes. Already seeing it in track n field and in swimming. |
