True. There's no question that Ukraine has committed national suicide. Much as I am awed by their courage, I am depressed by this fatalistic enterprise. We took the powerful Brits on in 1775, but there was evidence that we could possibly win due to insanely long British supply lines. Besides, we...

Perusing the site I just came across this fascinating info. I wish people here could hear all the gushing over Ali at Quora. The Ali lovers all try to outdo one another in their perverted love for this black person. They fall all over themselves in their rush to glorify the 1960s, 70s, and 80s...

Good point, Jimmy. Men is better. After all, I get sick of today's coaches and announcers always referring to the players as "kids." And in college, the term traditionally has been "college men."

Unfortunately, Texas and Florida, always pressured by racial politics due to their former status as slave states, won't touch those white boys. Maybe the others will give them a look.

Flint, I can only speak to the high school football situation in the South. And here white football is deader than the door nail itself, except amongst a very small number of private schools which are predominantly white. Obviously, as Don notes, white high school football is alive and well in...

Don, I also disagree about white boys not being as manly as black boys. What I fear is the myth itself and the fallout from that myth as noted above, a myth that becomes self-perpetuating. It's the myth rather than reality that is so dangerous, because so many white Americans today (probably a...

So true, Jerry. It bothers me to see white kids fawn over black athletes, while black kids save all their admiration for their own. I confess I don't get it, but I was born in 1949 and grew up seeing all-white football teams from Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas win 7 national...

First time I've seen this essay. Everything he says is truth. When I was a kid in the 1950s and 60s so many of the greatest baseball and football players were white. There were many great blacks also, including Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in baseball, and Jim Brown and Lenny Moore in football...

So true, every word. Many whites don't realize that ceding the athletic high ground to blacks - for whatever deluded reason - is a serious mistake. Our pro and collegiate sports teams are such high profile things that they have an extreme influence on society's negative perception of white...

Fascinating posts all. The original one raises important questions. Still, I do think Gibbon makes good points about being sure that claims we make in favor of white athletes must be documented carefully and objectively confirmed, because white liberals will eagerly tear it all to shreds if...

Thanks, Booth. Great tribute from an excellent old-school trainer. Marciano was a savage puncher, and a man's man. Many of the old-time black boxers were reasonable and unbiased in their assessments of both black and white fighters and showed far more respect for great white boxers like...

True; The blacks would never admit it, but that's to be expected. The damned confounding thing is all these whites that take side with the blacks, all these neutered, damaged wiggers that love Ali, Foreman, and Frazier more than their own blood kin.

Exactly correct. Also, countless times I've suggested that Marciano might beat Ali, and all the wiggers say, "Marciano's too small for Ali." They also say Dempsey's too small to beat Ali, or even Louis, but then I say, "Fury (or Klitschko) is much too big for Ali too handle, and all the...

I agree, Lightning. How nice it is to be in a place where whites haven't been castrated.

The woods are full of wiggers. Just came from boxing discussions on Quora. Every Caucasion there is eager to tell you how Marciano could never have beaten prime Louis, how Dempsey could never have beaten Jack Johnson, how the Klitschkos wouldn't stand a chance against Ali, how Fury would never...

Baseball has become an absurdist parody of itself. Bears no resemblance to the manly and fascinating game it once was. Love to hear what Ty Cobb, Pete Rose, Goose Gossage, Nolan Ryan and so many others would say about this. Time to put the game out of its misery, just like you would an animal...

I would love to see the game die. For me, it died when the steroid abuse became pervasive back in the 90s anyway, but today's game is as boring as anything can be, but bat flips, guys showing off, hideous tattoos, batters admiring home runs, and other such travesties are just obscenities...

Agreed. I can think of a few pitchers who'd have been happy to bust him good: Nolan Ryan, Drysdale, Lolich, Roger Clemens, Carlton, and a slew of others. Clemens would have nailed him and then dared him to come out to the mound.

Yet another reason to hate today's baseball: Someone named Vermin Mercedes ignored Tony LaRussa's take sign and hit a homer on a 3 and 0 pitch, justifying his insubordination with "I play MY game." As if that's not enough, the opposing team had a catcher pitching to him - at 45 mph speeds...

Your last sentence is a sad one, not ever being able to go back and all. But "Suckerburger"? Now that's classic. Also a great line about your "friend's kid went bad and became a lawyer." Thanks for the laughs!

Don, your entry above on "Sports and the War on White Masculinity" may be almost four years old, but its significance will continue for as long as this site exists. Also, being relatively new here, I am still catching up on so many excellent entries long before I joined. Much of what you wrote...

I saw Teofilo fight on TV many times. He was a universally admired fighter of much skill who won three Olympic golds in boxing and may have won 5 if Cuba had not boycotted the 1984 and 88 Olympics. Many wondered how he would fare against Ali, and in the mid-7os an offer was tendered to...

A high school football game in my native Mobile, AL, had the greatest ending I've ever personally witnessed. Davidson High of Mobile, was ranked #1 in the state entering their last game of the year. Everyone was very excited about it because Mobile hadn't had a state champion in almost 2...

Really liked your previous comment, Wolf Man: "Everything is tinged with gray now." That struck me as a spot-on definition of my life at 71. I'm still in reasonably good health (for this specific moment, that is) but am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Spend more time in doctor's...

First off, Harry's an idiot. Second, Meghan is a drama queen chasing publicity any way she can. Last, what color will their child be anyway. Haha! Pity the poor Queen. She's tried to live her life in a sensible way, but then came the freak Diana, then the dope Harry, and now the negro woman...
