What is also disappointing for me is that his place has been taken by a sprinter called Joel Fearon, whose best ever 100M time is 10.44 and unlike the luke warm attitude that most other British sprinters both white and black have towards drug cheat Dwain Chambers, Fearon sees Chambers as... "an...

It is called "over-achieving" I believe Lots of effort combined with smarts to compensate for the "obvious" lack of athleticism. It is how Wariner wins 400M races, and Stefan Holm used to win high jump medals at only six foot tall. Its amazing what a blue collar guy can do with some extra...

Look at his left arm in that race. It is flapping around like a girl in high heels running for a taxi. If he can run that fast without using his arms properly... Edited by: devans

This thread has really made me wish I had put a bit more effort into thinking up my user name. Some great stories - but none better than fromtired old white. Mine is simply a made up name to maintain my anonymity. My name is not Dave Evans, or anything similar. Pretty boring really. I'll do...

Great video. What country was that filmed in? Is that what a track meet looks like in the USA now? She was the only white competitor I saw in the whole video - not just competing but all the ones milling around in the background. I think I could find a track meet from Zimbabwe or Namibia and...

Answer to first question - sorry don't know. Answer to second question - virtually every NFL team.Edited by: devans

The Colts have made the playoffs - which is great. They have Francisco and Angerer on defence. They have a mostly white O-line, Peyton of course, and Blair White and Jacob Tamme catching passes. So they are a team to be supported. But think on this. What would they be like to watch with Antony...

A lot of posters have been anguishing about the Eagles beating NY Giants, focusing on Vick. I actually see a lot more to like in the Eagles than the Giants. What is there to cheer for in that NY team? A white QB and T.E. Big deal. The Eagles have some interesting players such as Chad Hall...

Wow a new phrase has emerged I have heard of "upside" and seen it used so much it has become irritating - and now we have "low-upside". First time I have seen that.

New England are a truly remarkable team this year. It is amazing to someone like me, who has watched the NFL on TV for many years, to see a white QB standing behind a predominately white O-line with two of the three wide receivers being white and with a white running back in the backfield...

I watched some of the Jags game this week - pretty dull - but didn't see considine on the field much. Didn't seem to be starting.

400M hurdles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzcC62-Eq7Q Welsh runners take gold and bronze and sandwich a white South African in Silver. Five of the first six over the line are white. A great exhibition of sprinting and hurdling. Edited by: devans

I am reading some amazing stuff about Hillis, such as... "With a strong offensive line and a great running back in Hillis, the Browns have a foundation in place. They now need to add pieces that fit around that foundation" This from Bleacher Report at...

One of the Klitchko brothers has called Hayes bout with Audley Harrison "a fight for the heavyweight championship of London" Nice

I know where you are coming from WA33, but for once Rotoworld is spot on. It will only take one bad game, one fumble, for Mariani to spend a good few weeks sitting on a bench hoping for a second chance. He will be able to sit back, relax and put his baseball cap on. Poor performances by white...

I have posted before about having to rely on NFL.com for my game highlights and how all the good plays by the white players seems to be missing, long pass receptions, long punt returns etc. Well just found the most astonishing example. Check out the Chiefs Eagles highlights. They actually come...

Great video - thanks Hope you don't mind me adding a link to the great Sally Gunnell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbl-mF6pgc&amp;NR=1

We don't get pre-season games in the UK so I had to go to NFL.com to catch the highlights. Not a sign of Matt Jones, Jordan Shipley or Brian Leonard. It's not like they did nothing! The highlights they did show on NFL were pretty uneventful. All I can say is it must have been a pretty boring...

1st prize to Europe. Well done.

Highlander that is a very perceptive point. You have picked up on something that has niggled away at me almost subconciously and it needed highlighting. Time and time again you see quotes like these from "coaching staff" saying how they hope a black player wins a starting job. There is an...

I will give a prize to anyone who can spot the lone African player lurking in that Liverpool squad photo!

The high jump is not a "black dominated sport". The top jumpers in the last twenty years have been mostly European, often Russian or Swedish. It is not completely white "dominated" either, with some great black, Asian and mixed race jumpers. Perhaps they were talking about the USA, or perhaps...
