Controversial question. Why are most athletes black?

[Beer]

dude, it's actually the opposite, the most successful athletes are white and the sports are dominated by white people

basketball is exception of course

Nascars not a sport bro.

Of course I want to stress that humans have very little genetic variation and a white human from Norway, a subsaharan black human, and a Korean dude even though come from very different parts of the earth have less genetic difference than two different chimps that live in the same valley.

WHAAAAAAAAT? this a news to me, please link.

How about those damn athletes in NHL? You know who holds both men and women triple jump record right? How about Pole vault?

Here is some skinny white dude who's record is unbeaten by hundreds of more superior black athletes for already 20 years.

I can't find were I found that exact quote about the same valley but here is a paper that says that chimps have 3 to 4 fold increase in genetic variation as opposed to humans. All chimps come from Africa....

NFL. How many CB's, Saftey's, and RB's are not black? Considering blacks are the minority in this country population wise it isn't an expected ratio.

rugby

I think a lot of those olympics is a europian tradition and African countries are too busy struggling to survive to develop their athletes. No one still answered why the NFL and NBA are so Afro domianted despite the USA being such a white country?

speed and jumping. Basketball, 100 and 200 M dashes, CB, Safety, WR, RB, MLB steals leaders, have more blacks. Why? Who the hell knows, but the numbers don't lie.

If black people decided they wanted to dominate hockey, baseball, rugby, etc then I think they could.

Black people just don't choose to play those sports as much as basketball and football

Exactly. My theory still holds true. Most "races" are very similar in athleticism. However Africans have a slight advantage in sports involving running. This doesn't mean every African has better genes than every white. Like lets say 2 percent of Blacks have elite basketball genetics, only 1% of whites do.
