Sounds good to me.

Had my Fernet this morning thank you. You?

You just wait til Brandford shows his man-chest after he scores, my soap fearing friend.

I have no doubt that Branford Chastain will lead the red white and blue past those filthy Euros.

Lush Life, Mr.Dan.

Where all the white women at?

Check out the doc film about mcnamara that came out last year - on dvd. Great stuff.

Anybody want to get high?

I hope for this guys sake he makes Da'NFL.

More research?

But then you wouldn't want him.

He ain't no supastar.

Meet your defensive line and that workman-like 3-5 record.

Our gov't must have got the message about honor among thieves.

Peters.

What else?

Where are all the white women at?

Savannah covers just a part of the African Continent. Plus your ancestors were probably adept at hunting despite the cold: you be here today and the mammoth is not.

Gap control was when she crossed her legs to prevent access.

If you took 2000 people of African origin vs. 2000 people of European origin randomly from a global pool and tested them, it would interesting to see the results.

I don't make that assumption because just as many potentially dominant athletes may never compete in a particular organized sport as such. I've seen many powerlifters (white, latino, black, asian) who squat 500-600lbs and can leap on a 36+" plyo box who never played organized sports, and thus never developed the sport specific skills to compete (assuming that physical prowess was enough). Similarly American football has a limited pool. If Am Football had a world following and became part of a global social fabric like soccer you would see untapped resevoirs of talent emerge that would impact the skill positions as well. You're beginning to see it occur in Basketball as the sport becomes more popular world wide. Can you imagine what the pool of available talent would be like if the Soviet or Chinese sports machine had focused on developing American Football players 50 or 60 years ago? I'm not denying what is, I just saying that culture and size of the talent pool are relevant as well.

My statement in context refers to peoples not of African descent in terms of world population. Even if you choose to lump all 'Caucasians' into one population group, which I don't, they don't constitute the majority of people on earth. My point wasn't to fuel a pc vs. non-pc debate, just offer an opinion about observed performance differences in sport.

There is a genetic component to athletic success but I wouldn't make a blanket assertion that non-blacks are slower. It has to do with genetics and numbers participating in a given sport. The Eastern block put out some great sprinters, doping notwithstanding. Are people of African (taking in account that continents do not contain a singular homogeneous population) origin simply faster than all other populations world-wide. I doubt it. The limiting factor is amount of explosive muscle fibres you're born with and the ability of your nervous system to recruit said fibres. In the realm of strength/power/speed sports, some populations of folks may hold a genetic advantage prior to training. Just as Sherpas, when not being killed in avalanches, excel at high altitude living. Blacks of West African lineage tend to dominate the ranks of sprinters. I don't have the numbers but it seems the majority of Blacks in the Americas trace their roots to W-A due to historical slave trading routes. That may account for the speed/power advantages for some US athletes. But it's ridiculous to assert that whites are slower. Olympic weightlifters are among the most explosive in the world and have shown they outpace 100m guys for the first 20M. Chinese, Turks Greeks, Armenians, Russians, Bulgarians all dominate. Even Vasili Alexeyev could dunk a basketball. Over the short haul, I'd take Don Beebe any day over any Kenyan distance runner, Sebastian Coe or Leon Lett for that matter.

All you pervs would give them a stiff salute in their goebbels. Stop the nonsense.

Please Simon et all. Make it stop.
