Hall of Famer
I think what the Olympics show is that different ethnic groups are all a little different, although small differences none the less. The Olympics were basically founded on ethnic pride (even still most countries are pretty homogeneous ethnically), a subject which gets us on this site called racist. Are Olympic fans racist? Well by the American media rule book they probably are.
But basically, what we see is there are different physical skills that are all important for different areas of survival. It's the survival aspect for why I love sports so much. For most of human history our lives were sport, just like the animals.
But get this; statistically Usain Bolt is as fast as a Grizzly Bear and he also is one of the fastest starters in the world. This guy might actually be able to outrun an angry Grizzly Bear, rather than try to play dead. But the question is how far would the Grizzly chase him? Would Usain trip over a branch in the woods trying to run, while the Grizzly just tears through the branches? Human beings can actually cover long distances better than most animals. Horses can go fast for almost two miles, but soon after, just lose their will.
In hilly regions, hiking up grueling slopes carrying something heavy (a carcus of meat?) may have been very important to survival (endurance and strength), whites are good at this kind of skill IMO. If a person is on a golf course, there are few men that can out run an alligator over short distances. Alligators run about 25 MPH tops over short distances if I recall, already faster than the great majority of men, but hit their top speed "very" fast. Usain Bolt may not even be able to have enough of a burst to get away from a gator who lurches at him within a couple meters in the first 5-10 meters of chase. But over 100 meters Usain would kill the alligator in ground covered. This is why they tell golfers in Florida, who are stupid enough to go into the weeds near the swamp to get their ball and get surprised by a gator, to run in a zigzag if a gator chases you. This is because gators can't change direction well at all and get confused b/c they are dumb.
Can Usain Bolt change direction as well as Sam McGuffie, Danny Woodhead, or Tre Smith? I am almost certain he can't. Does Sam McGuffie already at 18 years old cover 10 yards (on turf at least) as fast as Bolt would? That is actually "not outside the realm of possibility". I firmly believe McGuffie will break the electronically timed 10 yard dash record at the NFL combine, if he actually gets a chance to get there. McGuffie's 1st 10 yards are frekin insane, world class, if they had that event in track! But over 100 meters Usain would annihilate Mcguffie, even if McGuffie put all his efforts into track for the next 5 years. So the question remains, what makes an athlete?
SO in a sense there are all different areas of skills that different people or groups are good at. Yet still we should be disappointed in this Olympics, because our enemies (who I am going to start calling Luginbills) will use the 40 yard, 100 meter, 200 meter speed argument to state their case against anyone but the black football player.
All other skills: strength, field awareness, 10, 20 yard burst, balance, cutting ability, vision, etc. will go out the wayside to the Luginbills because the silly white man can't compete with Usain Bolt. And when evaluating other skills they often lie anyway, b/c other skills are more subject to interpretation and they can get away with lying claiming to be experts. A white man has yet again won gold in the high jump, but the Luginbills will keep pointing to speed to fuel their argument of an even blacker NBA. The high jump has become a second tier event after all, compared to the short sprints. A very disappointing Olympics indeed, because in events where whites are underdogs already we still underachieved big time. Rant Finished. Round one to the Luginbills. Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins
