Is the white man obsolete in some sports?

No, you are a retard.  If you call it how you see it, then You see it in a clouded view.  The most dominating players are white in almost all sports.  Basketball MVP Steve Nash.  What about Dirk? J.J. Redick and Adam Morrison are the top players coming out of college. And lets talk about basketball dumbass, the NBA logo was modeled after Jerry West, a white guy. Football-Top QB-Peyton Manning, best ever Dan Marino, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, Brett Favre.  A black QB is not even in the conversation.  Baseball NL Cy Young Cris Carpenter.  Offense-Alex Rodriguez or Albert Pujols (from KC, MO)Most strikeouts (Nolan Ryan)most wins, and almost any other pitching stat is lead by white men.\nLook in the record books, there are far more dominating white players than there are black players in all these sports.  Hockey, Best young player-Sidney Crosby.  And coaches, The best coaches are white, Tony Larussa, Bill Parcells, Phil Jackson, Bill Belichick, Bill Walsh, Joe Torre, Pat Riley, Red Auerbach, Greg Popavich, Jack McKeon, and the list goes on and on. \nYou are an idiot, and this is two days in a row you found an idiotic way to ask the same dumb question.  Are you sure you are not racist?  I am definately not, but I give credit when it is due.\nBaseball most wins-white Cy young\nmost hits-white Pete Rose\nStrikeouts-white Nolan Ryan\nBest defensive third baseman-Scott Rolen\nconsecutive games played-Cal Ripken\n\nFootball-Passing yards white Dan Marino\nQB SBs white Terry Bradshaw\nconsecutive games played-Brett Favre\n\nBasket ball-most assists-white John stockton\nsteals-white John Stockton\nChampionships-Celtics-Larry Bird, coach Red Auerbach, Danny Ainge\nLakers-Jerry West, Coach Pat Riley\nStop asking this question, so you don't appear so stupid

I actually personally dont think jack johnson had as big of a positive impact as say joe louis but here ya go anyway.\n\nJohnson seemed to usher in a new movement in American sports or at least boxing. No longer were whites clearly the superior athletes as evidenced by johnson. I think its fairly obvious that the establishment was terrified of a man as flamboyant as johnson as there was immediately a search for a "great white hype". Johnson lived very fast and the public seemed to really hate him for it. The people at large were not ready for a man of johnsons stature who happened to be black. In many of the different pictures or newspapers that can be seen from the day it is easy to see that Jack was not seen as human.\n\nUltimately i dont think you can look at Johnson without feeling a bit of sadness. First because he clearly was at the wrong time in history for his greatness in the ring to be displayed. Secondly because of the way society reacted to the man. He also was even only a few decades short of the subtle shift of the white publics view of black boxers through joe louis. I dont think his skill or power can ever be denied, but the way society saw him and the effect society had on his career seems to have tainted what he also could have achieved.

They do sometimes, but most of those times the answer is NO. Why because we don't like it. They get some rugbiers from time to time but not big deal mainly for the guy who makes the kick to the poles for the extra point. I think big bucks is not a big temptation remember that this was an amateur sport a few years ago.

They are better at sprints and boxing due to fast twitch muscles that allow explosive bursts,whites are alot better equipped at power based sports such as wrestling powerlifting and feild events due to slower twitch muscles,so it goes both ways,whites will never be able to compete a sprints with black dudes but they could never compete with whites on power based things,its the way it goes.

No.\n\nAmericans have invented many sports but they are not always the best at them.\n\nLook at basketball.  Who won the last world basketball championship?  Wasn't it Argentina?  And the U.S. came in like 5th.  And the Olympics?\n\nLook at baseball.  The South Koreans won that recently.\n\nLook at volleyball.  No idea who won the last time they had a worldly competition but I'm sure it wasn't the U.S. in the mens' anyway.\n\nIt's true Americans have very good individual players but team and cohesiveness are more important sometimes.

Absolutely Not. Look at the perfomance of Bob Woolmer, Tom Moody and Gregg Chappel and you will find the answer. I seriously believe that sub continent teams should relay on their own former greats to coach their sides. Likes of Wasim, Javed, Ranatunga, Desilva,Srinath and Wishwanath are not they capable enough to coach their national sides? We poor asians are actually impressed with whites and consider them something out of the world but whites know very well that sub continent is full of talent and capable of beating them at any level.

I don't think race has anything to do with it. I think that they are trying to keep the strongest players. I think they are tired of losing all of the challenges.

definetly a pocket passer as that is what the position is all about. the white issue i dont really think so as if there is a talented player he plays. there is still many white quarterbacks but there are also alot of black quarterbacks none are better due to the colour of their skin. as for the whites as i was saying there is still palmer, plummer, the manning's, brady, favre, brees, warner, leinart, bledsoe etc so no i think it is even at the moment.

Back in the day, 70's, 80's, the black dude always got killed off.  Why?  Because the hero is often white and 9 times out of 10 the hero does not die.  Also, in the wake a civil rights, etc. suddenly it was cool for a white hero to have a black side kick.  Coolness by association. Mostly true of action flicks. Just my humble opinion.

Not really, other than an occasional feature on an athlete participating that trains or regularly competes in the US for that local media.\n\nBut what can you expect ... US isn't competing, so it's only natural there wouldn't be as much interest as compared to baseball starting, NFL trades and the approaching draft, the NHL and the NBA all still going on.

Another myth.  But I don't think the question is racist, it is probably just a misconception.\n\nI've had plenty of black friends that I could outrun with ease, and I play basketball better than any of them.\nIt is more a matter of social groups than of race.\nIn the U.S. if you want to play basketball on the streets at a high level, you play with blacks, in a black neighborhood.   I would go to the projects (public housing)to play.  No one would give these guys a job, so they played all day!  Today, most white kids play video games all day and are miserable wimps, both physically and mentally.\nAnd these guys playing basketball in the projects were excellent people.  Does this mean blacks are nicer than whites?  :-)\n\nNot too many decades ago most basketball players and baseball players were Italian.  Did people going around asking why Italians are all naturally athletic?  No, then they were the poor and played sports all day, to be good at sports you need natural ability, but without having more time and motivation to play (it can get you out of the ghetto..and did for Irishmen and Italians, too) few people develop that talent to the fullest because they are doing other things.\n\nWhy is he so good?  Take any two people and one is probably better at something they both do!

In general the Black people are faster so they play postions like Running Back and Wide Reciever, postions where speed is of great importance. So the Whites focus on the postions where they can get away with not being as fast. That is why they play things like the Offensive Line and Quarterback. They don't need to be as fast.

White boxer tend not to be any good.  The last good white boxer was Joe Mesi, and he had his brains beaten in by a cruiserweight, and Mesi is a heavyweight.  You have to go down to the 140 pound fighters and below to find some real white talent.

Yes!\n\nSure he's no longer young, sure he's not the fastest anymore ,sure he's had a million career threatening injuries.. BUT, he never was the quickest player to begin with and that never stopped him from scoring bucketloads.\n\nHe's not nicknamed God for nothing!

It hasn't caught on with the majority of 'blacks'; like golf or tennis despite the famous black athletes and their excellence in those sports. I would say this is the reason why you don't see as many in U.F.C or N.H.B\n\nTwo, some would say 'whites' tend to be better wrestlers, than 'blacks' as 'blacks' tend to be better strikers. 'Whites' have slow-twitch muscle fibers that are intended for endurance which wrestling can take alot out of you. Where as 'blacks' have fast-twitch muscle fibers that allow for faster strikes.  \n\nSo, when wrestling, I guess 'blacks' wear out a little earlier than 'whites.' As the majority of U.F.C fighters pretty much focus on grappling and striking as mostly used as set ups for grappling.
