Hmm so an American gets bronze in men's driving behind the Chinese. It wasn't close of course but that's still pretty good.
An American is also there in the marathon with Kenya and Ethiopia. Those are pretty impressive.
Simone was the ONLY black swimmer on the squad & won an INDIVIDUAL Gold Medal unlike privileged ass Lochte/Missy Franklin.
These are the same people that dominated the whole of Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe? Talk about the might fallen. These could be the americans 200 years from now
Damn Missy Franklin had a horrible Olympics. I couldn't believe how much she's declined at such a young age. Lochte is just old and washed up, and a dumbass.Simone was the ONLY black swimmer on the squad & won an INDIVIDUAL Gold Medal unlike privileged ass Lochte/Missy Franklin.
Missy got dethroned by a BLACK swimmer, that's what happened. Diversity won:
She got dethroned by everyone. She couldn't even make it to the finals in her events.Missy got dethroned by a BLACK swimmer, that's what happened. Diversity won:
They had horses. Now everyone else has horse and cars. Guns, bombs, etc. But horses were big then.
America is more like China, big area, natural resources. It's more likely we'll be up then down, but we can go down with self inflicted wounds.
She must have been on something last Olympics. Cheating at such a young age.
I mean, I'm not saying she did but she was pretty invisble these Olympics.
Her confidence got shot when Simone stole her thunder.
How do you suppose that when Franklin swims the backstroke, while Simone is a sprint-freestyle swimmer?Her confidence got shot when Simone stole her thunder.
DiRado is the one who stole Frankin's thunder. You get to still celebrate diversity in this case, since DiRado is a Latina.
Another gold medal for the only relevant country on Earth.
Europoors
Simone replaced her in the 4x100m freestyle relay.
Can we get back to real basketball now please. Can't wait to watch the NBA again.
Maybe one day we'll actually get a challenge from another country. I mean, the middle of the last decade sucked but we were still considered far and away the best b-ball country.
If anyone can shift the balance of power, it's places like Brazil, Canada, Australia, Nigeria, India, China, France and England/Britain, where there's enough racial and athletic diversity to field a great team or just a whole bunch of raw numbers. (Un)fortunately, most of those places care more about some other sport and not much about basketball at all.
So we'll be the standard for the forseeable future.
I still want to see the U.S. Get two teams, east west or NBA, college. It's the best way to weaken the us while strengthening talent. They do this in sports like beach volleyball and most individual sports. Let us field as many teams as we can
It might be purely physical, but that's mostly in terms of strength.
The so called "skill" positions comprise a small portion of the roster.
So? Missy isn't a freestyler. Her personal best is .66 seconds in the 100m behind Manuel. She was going to get replaced regardless. All the girls swam faster legs in the 4x100 than Frankin's PB. It's not her stroke. Meanwhile, she still holds the 100 and 200m backstroke world records. Quit trying to force your, "scrappy black girl overcomes white girl privilege" narrative." It's not like Manuel was born in Compton to crack addicts.Simone replaced her in the 4x100m freestyle relay.
Dummy, it's generational. Black folks were allowed in public pools during segregation thus they didn't take their kids to the pool even post-segregation & it has trickled down along w/ the lack of public pools (let along Olympic sized pools:
Meanwhile, Phelps didn't come from a rich family but he grew up in a family of swimmers which led him to take up the sport. If Phelps was a black kid in Baltimore he might not even have learned how to swim.
Did the Caitlyn Jenner runner get a medal?
That's f'd up sHe is allowed to compete in the womens division.
You could grow black folks in a pool from birth. The odds will still be against them becoming elite swimmers as much as growing a white person on a track won't make them an elite sprinter.Dummy, it's generational.

I don't like biological determinism as much the next guy, but blacks are at physiological disadvantage. I'm just challenging your fetish here, thinking that black athletes would rule anything and everything because they're good at sprinting and jumping.
Or they can split us up and make us qualify by state. Texas and California would be the main players while Florida, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Illinois would also clean up well. It'd also be interesting for Georgia to compete with Georgia in something.
I forgot South Africa as well. If only they didn't care about the various codes of football/rugby so much.
Yeah, 6'3" Masai warriors are at a physiological disadvantage b/c they don't have the anaerobic capacity.
David Rudisha has the perfect swimmers body & the anaerobic capacity of a whale:
Anthony Ervin is also half-black & so is Kris Humphries.
The best dutch female swimmer is of Afro-Surinamese descent:
Meanwhile, Whitey has left no stone unturned trying to find a world-class sprinter & can't even beat the Japanese/Chinese.
