Gary, there are some extenuating circumstances concerning
boxing that others have mentioned. I don't think it's a good
gauge for what's going on in America. Football is better. So
many whites play it (as opposed to boxing,) yet we don't have
even one starting running back in the NFL. It's absurd.
The bottom line is that white participation in a sport is based on
interest, talent, and opportunity. Now one can argue about the
"interest" part when it comes to boxing, but not football. And if
the talent is also there (and we are suggesting that it is,) then
it's all about opportunity. Like I said in another post, if white
high school seniors are getting offers to play Div. I baseball,
soccer, hockey, volleyball, tennis, lacrosse, wrestling, etc., and
Div. III football, basketball, and track, where are they going to
go? To me that slotting process is the main issue (and the
slotting of positions within sports.)
Maybe I'm naive, but I feel like if our white athletes get the
opportunities, they'll find a way to succeed. They have the
work ethic, the brains, the talent, etc.
I'm not saying that training camps are a bad idea, I just don't
know how practical it is given our resources (or lack thereof.)
At the very least we would need people who really know how to
train people. There are legal and medical issues involved.
Safety and injury prevention would have to be an important
foundation to this training- especially the hard training that you
have in mind. Does anybody here have knowledge like that?
That stuff can get very complicated.
Instead of crying about the system-lets work together and
build a tougher group of White males.
I understand your frustration. Maybe we can brainstorm and
come up with a bunch of ideas and trim away all the fat until we
can come up with something that we can really do. I don't
have any ideas at the moment so I shouldn't bad mouth yours
too much. What do I know, it could work.
But what if we had 100 Luke Staley's?They are not going to
shut them all down.
Are you sure? I wouldn't underestimate the Caste System....
How can we be sure that we don't already have 100 Staley's?
Or at least 10 or 20?
