Race

[SnoopySmurf]

Well Africa the blacks would be out in the elements with the Lions, in a tuff terrain, while Whites lived in the North needing strenght to pull through the cold winters and build warm places to stay...of course its Culture. If I'd migrated to Mexico in the 1800's or whaever, I'd be eating alot of Tacos, and working out in the Desert, dealing with heat and looking for water and all that, leading to good stanima, and a hard work ethic...

I know you're being serious but I have to tell you this is very humorous! BWAHAHA!

Anyway....Good stamina can be attained by any race anywhere by simply staying in good shape as long as they stay active. Culture has very little influence on a person's phenotype. That is all determined by their parents.

Now, if you want to look at the whole picture, here is a very GENERAL view of different people influenced by their climate and environment :

Plains Indians in North America are taller than the South American Indians because of the protien available to them. In the jungle, you'll find very fe big game to hunt. This is true in Africa and Asia. Natives living in rain forests are typically smaller in stature to the those who live in areas where there are big game.

Areas of arid regions, the people have narrower noses compared to those who live in humid or tropical areas. If you noticed, many Southeast Asians typically have broader noses than those Asians who live in the North. Same can be seen in South American Indians as opposed to the North American Indians.

But good stamina can be achieved by any race. Genetics can play a role (Lance Armstrong has large lungs and a large heart).

Thats a common tactic in sports. Its not illegal either!

Neither is adultry. Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean it's not bad.

Myth. Lance Armstrong used performance enhancers. Not large lungs myth he propagated.

Its called being smart. If you need you could make more money by holding out, why not.

Thats why players hold out on signing a contract but continue training in the pre-season.

The traits which are passed down do not effect you physically as an athlete. And culture does not bond people together if they're removed from their culture. In my last example is a perfect way to show it. Look at Angelina Jolie and her adoptions. Those children will not act at all similar to their biological parents or the culture they were born into.

This is why some people need a role model, someone they can indentify with, because they dont know how to act, or admire, people need somebody to look up to...

Yeah, it's smart for them. But guess what, I'm not them! I'm a sports fan who wants to see my ****ing athletes play the game. I don't give a **** about their personal problems or how much money they think they should be making. As a fan I hate it.

[BLOODSHED]

Who doesnt hate it. The media is two faced, they can complain about athletes but not about the MLB's Steinbrenner whose making baseball all about money buying up the best athletes.

You change subjects entirely too quickly when you no longer have facts to back it up. Face it, race has very little to do with why some athletes are hated. Steinbrenner isn't hated by the media, but is by sports fan. He's trying to make the best team, just like lots of other high paying ball clubs. If anything, the media needs to give the Cubs and Clippers more attention and their bad owners who don't try to win.

Lance Armstrong is the most tested (for doping) athlete in the world and not one time has be failed a test. During the Tour de France, he is under 24 hour surveillance by the press and officials. Even his hotel room is monitored and checked. The man has is a freak of nature, large lungs and large heart and the wierd ability to produce less lactic acid = ultimate endurance and stamina.

Its kind of sad that its 2005 and there is still alot of racism in this world.
