THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AMERICANS...

so New Zealand has the best athletes in the world

That depends on your definition of athleticism...Male gymnast have UNBELIEVABLE strength, balance and co-ordination, but we look at them as fakkits...

For example, Prodigy and 2Pac were ballerinas, arguably better athletes than Nas and Jay Z, but we laugh at Prodigy and 2Pac, but when you look at their bodies, they have more muscle definition, while Nas and Jay Z look flabby and flaccid...

It is because culturally speaking, the USA has a very DISTORTED opinion on athleticism...

You are AMAZED that LeBron who is almost 7' tall can jump and touch a hoop that is 10' off the ground, but Nate Robinson is like 5'9" - 5'10'" and he can do the same, and even HARDER...He won the dunking contest (fact)...

Nate doesn't get the recognition even though he is MORE athletic than LeBron...Why? Because he is short...In the USA (more often than not), you have to be freakishly tall and muscular to be considered "athletic"...

Aijt one nikka on that south African team

1) Bryan Habana the dude who scored multiple tries (touchdowns) would be considered "black" in the USA...So there are at least 3 black dudes on the team...

2) South Africa, New Zealand and Australia are EVIDENCE that blacks are not necessarily more athletic than whites...Culture is the BIGGEST determining factor...Black Americans are entrenched in a culture of being the entertainers...So Black American children aspire to be in the NFL, NBA and MLB because that's what Black Americans are given recognition and glory for in the USA...

As a result, social selection pushes Black children to be in sports while other children are being pushed to be the owners of teams...

CULTURE

The Olympics proves america has the best athletes in the world.

1) Nope...

2) The USA is the richest country in the world (maybe China I don't know)...This means, American citizens (the vast majority) are not fighting just to eat day by day, and with such a large population, there are more people who have time to engage in sports and develop a culture of sport...

The country is rich, so those people who have a culture of sport, have the best nutrition, the best training facilities, PEDs regimen, the best science and technology to really fine tune an athlete to the split second...

3) The USA is arguably the richest country in the world, and the 3rd most populated...This means the USA has the money to send more athletes to compete in the Olympics...

In the London 2012 Olympics, the USA sent the second most number of athletes...The UK sent the most, because they were hosting...Some countries only send 2 or 3 athletes..

The USA doesn't dominate in sports that are culturally very popular in other countries...

Never understand threads like these. Like dissing Americans for not being good at curling

Don't be stupid. Why does the USA celebrate when they win the gold medal in Basketball?

You are sending Kobe and LeBron to play against some teams that can't even afford to buy Air Jordan for their athletes...

If you can celebrate that, then we can laugh at you when you get DESTROYED in sports that you don't excel in...

its the typical dumb european inferiority complex lol

Another stupid reply,

Are you telling me that a Patriots fan who laughs hat a Seahawks fan has a inferiority complex?

Celebrating DOMINATION equates to inferiority complex now...?

Still got worked by Japan though...

Exaggerating...

Fluke game...With all the racial tension and politics that go on in South African sports, I very IMPRESSED that their are still top 5 team in the world...

They have Affirmative Action to include Black players...Did you know that? So the black players on the team have to wonder if they deserve to be there, and the white players are looking at them like "you know you only here because you black right?"

Think about that for second...Affirmative Action to select athletes...Where else in the world do they do that at?

Technically, South Africa is potential not sending their best possible team to participate, because there is quota of black players that must be included...

But they still win...

It comes down to culture...All that blacks are more athlete than whites or Americans are more athlete than the Chinese is nonsense...The culture will more often than not determine success...

Rugby is irrelevant. The Haynes dude is an exception.

Obviously it is not, because the USA has sent a team to participate in the World Cup with many other teams...

Try to be objective...There is a big and wonderful world beyond the walls of your opinion founded on limited knowledge and experience...

Played rugby for one year in college. Those jokers do dirty shyt in piles just like American football. My only beef is that they love to get into big ass fights during games.

Then after both teams fight they want to go out drinking after the game. I am like fool I don't want to drink with you after we just had a got damn brawl...

That's sports dummy...

On the field of play, we do whatever we can get away with to win...But after the game is over, you lighten up and enjoy what else life has to offer...

Shut the fukk up idiot that I'd not how sports works. I have seen all out brawls in high school football. None of these dudes were trying to hang out after the game. If anything they wanted to fight some more after the game.

So get the fukk up out of here with that shyt.

Read what you stated again...Do you now see why the USA is more violent than all other Western Countries combined...?

You can't even enjoy a post-game beer with a fellow athlete, you have to go pop your trunk and get your guns out....

Fcuked up culture...

Rugby is a club sport in Argentina too, and they dont seem to be doing as bad as the USA...
