to acknowledge that what Snyder said was true would be to acknowledge that owners treated slaves like farm animals, buying, selling, selective breeding. they did. people would rather cover that up than think about the unnatural institution. it's a big reason there is such a push by some to eliminate black history studies.

Idk if u know this but it should at least give u and your “theory” pause. Africans are generally more athletically structured than anglos as well. Black athleticism didn’t start with wyt ppl.

When society forces any minority into areas deemed "ghettos", there are only a few ways out of that ghetto. Which generally boils down to sports, the arts, or some form of entertainment. Excelling at either of these when they are your only options, is not a "revealing" factor of a persons true nature, but rather the realization that the only way out of that ghetto, is to entertain the society that made the ghetto possible. Not specific to America either.

Rick, in the early 90s, Detroit Fox 2 had a show with Denny McClain (of the Tigers) and Eli Zaret (Fox 2 sports anchor), the show was called "Eli and Denny". I can't find the clip on YT, but I remember it clear as day. Eli and Denny were debating Manon Rhéaume, and whether she should play in an NHL exhibition. I remember because I was in middle school health class, learning about the human anatomy. Denny said Rhéaume shouldn't play in the NHL because Bob Probert might get ahold of her in a scrum (like he did when he punched Barrasso's helmet off). McClain said: "Probert might puncher her ovaries out". Even as a preteen in the 90s, I was shocked. I know you can't run it without footage, just wanted to share.

​@@schlomoshun- No, he wasn't right. For starters, "black" people aren't a discrete sample of homo sapiens sapiens. Race is just a social construct, and there aren't separate and distinct races of our species from a genetic perspective. There hasn't been enough genetic isolation to produce separate and distinct races of our species. Secondly, "black" people don't have an extra muscle or an extra muscle group. Thirdly, having a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers isn't the same as having an extra muscle. Lastly, all "black" populations don't have a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers. It's mainly just some West African populations and descendants from those populations. How many Kenyans have you seen in world 100 m finals? Semis? Prelims?

​@@skwirl865- You can also read newspaper articles from Jack Johnson's era, in which the writers talk about the athletic superiority of "white" people. Racial segregation in sports was often justified on the basis that "white" people were athletically superior, and "others" wouldn't be able to compete anyway. Once sports began to be integrated (still not necessarily quarterbacks, coaching, the front office, or ownership), then the rhetoric changed to "white" athletes being superior in intellect, work ethic, discipline, and leadership skills. "Heads - win. Tails - you lose." "White" racists also claimed to be superior on the belief that "white" people were the first humans (believing some version of the Genesis Adam and Eve story and believing that they were "white"). They were allegedly superior because "they were the originals and pure." Now that the scientific evidence suggests that our species originated in Africa with "non-white" populations, "white" racists claim to be superior because they're "more evolved." "Heads - we win, tails - you lose."

For Rick Strom: if you want to do some deep dives into sports, how about the sport-to-far-right-politics pipeline? Go back a few decades and while there was a definite sports to politics pipeline, there was something more like a 50 50 split between well-known sports people going left or going right. These days they almost all seem to go right, even far right. I am curious as to why.
