are white people banned from doing boxing

[slimshandy69]

or any other sports for that matter..Now dont get me wrong their have been some great white atheletes that come from america...but since the population of whites in america is over 200 million, you should expect some anomalies..


Now before i start im white...so im not some floyd mayweathe rnutthugger..


BUt you gotta admit, its as if the sports coaches tell white americans not to bother competing at boxing.Kelly pavlik a slightly above average fighter was americas "great white hope2 and he lost to a 43 year old black man...

Take the eastern block, probably has a population roughly the same as white americans and yet producers not onyl boxers that dominate the divsions, but dominate other sports such as gynastics, mma(fedor, andre alowski).

Even in a white dominated sport like tennis, your best players are black such as venus williams, serena, and james blake...

currently your best america fighters are black in mma, with rampage jackson, and bradley wats his face..

in rugby(our equivalent to america football) its dominated by whites...yet in america at least 80 percent is black(bar quarter back position which involves no athleticism)

basket ball is not a big sport in europe, but mNY GREAT russians, croats, spanish and latvian basketball players have come from there...white americans fail...

Now we ve discussed this before, the only twist is im going to give my answer..

I think white americans are forced fed that they are inferior atheeltes to black americans. You have your exceptions. bUT ON the whole i think the properganda is black people do sport and white people should stick to studying for their preppie university college.

Take my home city of nottingha in the uk. Has a high percentage of black people for a uk city. Yet its two combat fighters carl froch, and dan hardy(ufc number 1 contender) are both white. Take wales, a tiny part of the uk. its produced joe calzaghe, nathon cleverly..in the uk we have frankie gavin, john murrey, darren barker, kevin mitchell. WE HAVE BLACK PEOPLE AS WELL WHITE AMERICANS...

now ive heard this classic escuse "o the boxing gyms are not in white areas". Why is that then..because you dont have the guts to do a sport like boxing, or american football,.

Sports personlaity in the uk were mainly white ahtletes. Yet if america did/does have an equivalent 90 percent would be black...

Now i think black and whites are equal at sports..it depends on the sport of which one has an advantage over another. Sprinting black people, swimming white people.

But over all, i think they are equal, as are all races. So hopefully some white americans will read this and pull there fingers out there behinds, stop being lazy sand contribute to american sports especially boxing...

Simple cultural explanation.

Boxing in America has traditionally been a sport bred from the inner cities. As white flight from the cities began and rapidly increased with the civil rights movement and groups like the Black Panthers, whites moved to the suberbs and to rural America. This increased the amount of "affluent" white Americans. There's many more golf courses and soccer fields in the white suberbs than boxing gyms, and "affluent" parents of white Americans don't exactly want their kids traveling an hour into the closest cities and pursuing a sport that involves getting your brains beaten in. They'd rather go to Sport's Authority, pick up a set of golf clubs, and send their kid to the driving range 5 minutes from their house.

Notice theirs no shortage of white americans on the PGA tour or in the MLS.

Boxing is a poor mans sport. White Americans are the richest in the world

Maybe you can reformat your response in bullet point and add buzz words like "pwn" and "epic." It will be easier for thread starter to comprehend that way.

Very good response and I think it's also a part of culture as well. The same reason that Mexican's, Puertorican's, Philipino's are big into boxing, is the same way black kids want to play basketball and white kids play hockey.

There are always exception to the rule but you are going to be what you are around the most. There's a reason that Kenyan men are great long distance runners, that Norwegian's are good at winter sports, Canadians at hockey, etc etc etc.

It's just a culture thing and what dans said.

I know after living on this earth for as long as I have we are all the same. Color, ethnic background, creed, religion, we are all the same. We just become what we are moslty around growing up.

Good thinking Woodside, you're always on your toes. Here it goes then

= More Money for fat yanks

There's many more golf courses and soccer fields in the white suberbs than boxing gyms, and the Starbucks stan parents of white Americans don't exactly want their kids traveling an hour into the closest ****** and pursuing a sport that involves getting your brains beaten in. They'd rather go to Sport's Authority, pick up a set of golf clubs, and send their kid to the driving range 5 minutes from their house.

What's funny though is America basically has one fat yank white boy cracker (Kelly Pavlik), and he'd roll right over hypejob Froch.







Is that better? I think I need posting lessons from Horus.
