thats why tom brady throws such accurate passes

Who is a better player? tom Brady or Michael Vick.
Who is a better player? Peyton Manning or Michael Vick?

Now, who is MORE ATHLETIC, Vick, Manning, or Brady?

Do you understand the difference?

Let me be as clear as possible for you: In every sport where a high degree of athleticism is required, you will see a DISPROPORTIONATE amount of blacks.

In the US, blacks represent 13% of the population.

O and D linemen also require some athleticism. Look at the NFL Combine. But they don't need as much as wide receivers, cornerbacks or running backs.

Tennis does not require the same level of athleticism as basketball does. That is just a fact.


Why aren't there dominant black hockey players? (is Iginla retired?) The answer is because the countries and regions that are hotbeds of hockey have few blacks. Russia, Scandinavia, Former Soviet Republics, Canada, etc. There is also a clear economic component.

Again, if you gave Ronnie Lott and Deion Sanders skates when they were kids, they would DOMINATE hockey.

Question: who is the greatest lacrosse player of all time?

tennis does require more athleticism than basketball depending on the position

quickness to run down balls full speed full sprint break his feet down and hit a

Athleticism , as it is defined in sports, is different than strength or skill.

I don't know why the whites get their feelings so hurt because the blacks are dominating sports. It's funny. I guess the blacks dominate the sports that matter to whites.

Man i am European, i love soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis , MMA, boxing, Kickboxing, Formula 1 and Moto Gp, name one that blacks are dominating please LMAO

so why arent there dominant black players in hockey now?you just said athletcisim is running and jumping.tennis and soccer players run.last time i checked offensive and defensive linemen require a lot of skill and technique more than athleticism.

Because hockey is traditionally a WHITE sport. How many blacks do you think watch hockey?

Hockey also is rarely taught at urban schools.

smh....u guys are silly.

LOL @ pete samprass being more athletic than NBA players. This thread is awesome.

[Gino Ros]

The NFL Combine can gauge "relative athleticism" in 3 simple tests: 40 yard dash, standing vertical jump, bench reps @ 225 lbs.

My guess? NFL coaches know more about athletic performance than you do.

What about rugby?

Why all of you leave outside the sport that is one of the most rough and athletic on the planet and 95% of the players are white ?Selective much again?

In rugby u do not see these fat gross black men with some huge bellies hanging like in the NFL, so where is the athleticism there?
