If blacks haven't lost interest in the sport,why is tumbleweed blowing through urban centergyms around the country that were packed a generation ago?This didn't just happen. It started in the 90's (pretty much after the Bulls first 3-peat), and accelerated through the 2nd 3-peat and...

Aren't you also from Metro-Detroit? Can you even name ONE activeboxing gym in the city besides Kronk? And aren't they begging for donations to stay open? You don't find it the least bit peculiar that the decline in American boxing coincided preciselywith innercity kids losing interest in the...

So you have to be from Chicago to want to "Be Like Mike"? His influence on young people via posters, video tapes, sneakers, and other basketball paraphenaliadidn't cross the borders of Illinois? You don't really believe that, do you?Kids idolized MJ from here to Timbuktu.His moves, and...

Actually, you're not far off. I live in Metro Detroit. There used to be about 40 to 50 boxing gyms stuffed to the gills back in the 70's and 80's. Now there's about 3 or 4,and they're ghost towns.. even The Boxing Jungle on Greenfield that shared space with MMA guys shut down recently.It's like...

Also, I always see people throwing PED talk around Bolt and Powell, but rarely Gay. If Gay can run a 9.69 clean, why wouldn't Powell be able to run a 9.7's and 9.8's clean? What makes Gay physically superior to Powell? Powell's PB's 2010 9.82 2009 9.82 2008 9.72 2007 9.74 2006 9.77 2006...

I think you might be neglecting the fact that it's a numbers game on the black side too. Trindon Holliday is a6.54 60 meter,10 flat 100 meter guy,and all of these football playersare faster than he is.. and none of them run professional track, and only a handfulof them even rancollege track...

I'm wondering if Floyd Landis has anything to do with it. After he came clean on being a dope cheat, he said he was gonna give WADA the info they needed to root out dopers, and give intel on the tricks the Euros have been using to pass tests. Judging by their times, I'm guessing he has...

Here are the fastest white sprinters from the past decade or so. They're off the top of my head so I'm probably missing a few. <TABLE style="WIDTH: 175pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=233 x:str> <COLGROUP> <COL style="WIDTH: 64pt; mso-width-source...

Pretty much what I expected. Seems like almost every white sprinter peaks in their late teens to early 20's, whereas black sprinters plateau, then get progressively faster shortly thereafter. Hopefully Lemaitre can crack 10 before the season's over. He might come back next season .1 or .2...

I think a10.42 in the semi-finals is troubling. When only the top 2 finishers are guaranteed to the finals, and the number 3 guy is on your tail like that (Malcolm only being .02 behind), he had to have been runningall-out. After Chambers and Dasaolu, and think 3rd place is a toss-up...
