It's a small victory, but the French starting line-up is ~55% white (6 out of 11). France's starting line-up for the Euro 2000 final was only ~45% white (5 out of 11). That was more than 22 years ago!

In EuroBasket 2022, their last major tournament, 3 of their top 4 players by minutes played were white; the Hernangómez brothers and Lopez-Arostegui. Source

There are no Eastern European teams with a realistic shot. Spain have a great shot and they'll likely field an entirely white starting line-up, with the exception of Pedri, who is from the Canary Islands, and so possibly has some North African blood, though there's none documented and he looks...

Further to my theory, none of the players from England's 21-man 2017 U-20 World Cup-winning squad made the 26-man England squad for the 2022 World Cup, even though they're all aged 24/25 right now.

England are great on paper, but mediocre in reality. They have 1 top 3 finish in World Cup history, which goes back more than 92 years. Here's how I see England's run going: - Top their group. - Beat Ecuador in the last 16. - Lose to Argentina in the last 8.

Here's the final 26-man Team USA roster: Players are listed youngest-to-oldest... Black - 12 Yunus Musah (Ghanaian) Sergino Dest (Dutch/Surinamese) Timothy Weah (Jamaican/Liberian) Tyler Adams (Italian/African-American) Weston McKennie (African-American/mother is possibly white) Haji Wright...

Pat Mahomes and Aaron Judge also.

Of the 10 youngest players in the 30+ year history of the Premier League (as of Sep 19, 2022)... All 10 were born in England. Only 1 has represented England at full international level; Aaron Lennon. 7 are black, while the Premier League overall is 43% black. It's too early to judge Nwaneri...

The World Cup odds are sus. Brazil are perhaps rightful favorites, but France, England and Germany are heavily overrated, while Argentina, Spain and Belgium are heavily underrated. Argentina and Spain started 0 black players in their last game, while Belgium only started 3.

Just in recent years, Europe has produced: Giannis - Greece Gobert - France Wemby - France ...and the award goes all the way back to 1935! Source

Of the top 2 picks from every NBA draft going back to 2000, I count only 10 players out of 46 who actually became great players... LeBron Durant Aldridge Blake Griffin Dwight Howard Oladipo Kyrie Anthony Davis Towns Yao Ming ...obviously the more recent draftees could still become elite. But...

I'm not sold on Giddey. It's a shooter's league and he's a poor shooter. It's what kept Rubio from being an all-time great.

The last time a white player was drafted in the top 2 was Andrea Bargnani in 2006; that was 16 years ago!

Boling's strongest events, strongest-to-weakest: 200m (66th all-time) 100m (130th all-time) Long jump (827th all-time) 400m (1458th all-time)

...with only 2 non-whites in their starting line-up; Ethan Ampadu, who is 3/4 white and 1/4 Ghanaian. Kieffer Moore, who is 7/8 white and 1/8 Chinese. Apart from England, they'll be the first team from the British Isles to play in a World Cup since Ireland played in the 2002 World Cup, where...

For all the mythology around the athleticism of US-born blacks, from America's major spectator sports, only football, baseball and MMA have US-born black top dogs and Mahomes and Judge are both probably less than 50% black. Football: Reigning AP NFL MVP is Mahomes. Soccer: Reigning Ballon d'Or...

The basketball media is slagging off Jokic and Nash as bad MVPs, for me the worst players to win MVP in recent years are... Rose - The very worst; anointed after his first NBA season, people were bamboozled by his dunks. Iverson - Another anointed after his first NBA season, people were...

I've ordered them by position with the highest potential career earnings to lowest, the rank is their all-time Relative Athletic Score for their position. 1. QB - Josh McCown - 2002 - 5th - 0 pro bowls 2. DE - Brian Johnston - 2008 - 1st - 0 pro bowls 3. OT - Spencer Brown - 2021 - 1st - 0 pro...

Going into the first Wilder vs Fury fight in Dec 2018, people were calling it potentially the best generation of heavyweights ever. After Fury beat Whyte last week, people were calling it the worst generation of heavyweights ever. It's because they assumed Joshua and Wilder would be the top 2 of...

It sounds morbid, but if the Klitschko's are killed, they'll die heros and the boxing media will feel less comfortable criticizing their careers. They'll finally get the credit they deserve. I maintain that the best thing to happen for Ali's legacy was Parkinson's disease, because people felt...
