Before I start, i want to say that this thread is not racist at all. Just curious. But i sometimes watch american sports. It strikes me that in both football and basketball, there are alot of african americans. But then i watch Nhl, and there are no african americans. Why is this??
Blacks are built slightly differently. They have much more stamina and speed when running which suits them for sports like football and basketball. Skating on the other hand, there is no real advantage.
Plus, hockey originally had to be played outdoors. There were not too many arenas around to allow people to play hockey when the sport first became big. The sport was able to catch on in cold areas, but never caught on in places with dark skinned populations, because they had no means to play it. So northern and Central European countries were able to play hockey all year around. Even with arenas that can allow for hockey, because the sport never caught on in hotter areas which have dark skinned people, the sport never took off.
well i think that thelistman answered it all..but however African Americans just are not born with the ability to be awesome in sports. most of them work really hard to get to the level they are on. i know some African Americans and most of them are very very hard working when it comes to sports and plus they have mental toughness which allows them to keep going when others would just lay down and give up....

Isn't that racist?
Anywayz, they're plenty of outstanding African Amercian athletes. For example, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Both are fantastic basketball players. Color doesn't matter, it's just the determination of the players.
no not really since im saying that their not born like that. they work hard to get to that level..
No one is born with the ability to be awesome at sports. They work hard and gain experience which makes them better over time. Like I said before color doesn't matter at all.
well they are better at many sports cuz there ancestors worked had farming or something so they are probably more fit and can do more physical activities like football

Different races have different skills and expertise. Black men may be more naturally prone to be able to gain muscle mass easier making them stronher etc. But when was the last succesful black swimmer in the olympics. I think in America it helps that during slavery the biggest strongest slaves were bred together to make "super" slaves. I'm not sure how wide spread this was though or how much affect it had though it may be a contributing factor.
Well black people are usually stero typrf to love certain sports, some like hockey but past peer pressure leads them to different sports, they may lie their entire life to fit in.
my freind was apart of teh basketball team and he didnt even like basket ball, i don't get it.
@pixie slaves in America were actually forced to breed..man that must of sucked..lol right now all those slave owners are turning in their grave because they might just have created some really awesome athletes.
