Preface
As a country, whether sports are strong or not, or whether there are achievements on the stadium, has almost become a symbol of national strength.
It is conceivable that if any country does not have medals in athletics, basketball, and football, which everyone is vying for, and all competitions are at the bottom, it will definitely be said to be a weak country in sports, and even ridiculed as a "country of sports pathos".
And we will also find that in many countries around the world, people live in poverty, lack of employment, low education level, and even the conditions of the most basic second- and third-tier cities cannot be met, but the region where they gather has produced many professional athletes, and even many world champions.
What does this mean?
Because they are close to nature, they will also have an advantage in physical conditions, because the conditions in other aspects are not good, so people can only rely on sports to open up the world, but in any case, gathering 100 shots may not be able to produce a world champion!
Therefore, it can be said that the strength of sports is related to the strength of the country and the nation.
Today we are going to talk about the sports strength of black people, many people will think that black people are good at sports, their physical fitness, muscle system and other aspects are excellent, in fact, about this point of view of black people, many people have misunderstandings!
1. Why do black people in the United States gather in the field of sports?
To analyze this issue, we must first look at the United States from a "historical" perspective.
More than 200 years ago, although the United States was a rich country, but because of the problem of black slaves, the economic development was very unbalanced.
Because of the existence of slavery, there was a shortage of labor, and all black people in the United States labored.
How could America prosper without the labor of blacks?
So in order to solve the employment problem in American society and let blacks have jobs, in 1882, a company in the United States tried to form a professional baseball team, which was a great success and introduced a professional football team.
Soon, however, this practice was banned.
But this wind has been blowing, and in 1900, many professional sports teams were established in various parts of the United States, and since then, sports have attracted more and more attention and support.
The appearance of blacks in various sporting events turned out not to have begun in the new century, but at the end of the 19th century.
It's no wonder that people think that "blacks are particularly good at sports."
From a white person's point of view, black people are physically strong, and when they encounter black athletes, even white people who are the same height and weight as black athletes will lose to black people.
However, this statement is actually one-sided and exaggerates the athletic prowess of black people.
So how do we look at the athletic prowess of blacks?
2. The athletic prowess of blacks from the perspective of the Olympics
The Olympic Games is the most comprehensive sports in the world, with the largest number of participants, the largest number of countries involved, and the most authoritative event.
So it can be said that the Olympics are a symbol of sporting prowess!
From the data of watching the games, we can clearly understand that whether it is the results of the competition or the championship of the event, black people are far less powerful than people think.
The majority of netizens will be very curious, why can black athletes win the championship in special events, but when it comes to the Olympics, it is a little bit worse?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, in the special event, the contestants are all black, so the strength level of the black players is exaggerated.
The athletes competing in the Olympics are the best athletes in the world, so if you are a little bit worse in the Olympics and compete with the best athletes, the results and championships will also be relatively lowered.
This also proves once again from the side that the athletic strength of black people is actually average.
Even in the medal table of the Olympic Games, the countries where black athletes live are always not looked down upon, and are always affectionately called "straw bag countries".
It can be seen that the results of black athletes at the Olympics are far less powerful than imagined in special events.
3. The athletic prowess of blacks is seen in terms of their performance in various events
Basketball and track and field can be said to be the "best play" of black people.
So in addition to these two projects, what other projects are their "forte"?
In fact, the athletic prowess of blacks is not so strong and terrible.
Many people don't know that in fact, blacks are almost "sidelined" in other projects, and in some projects, blacks are even "at the bottom" of "no suspense".
What does that mean? For example.
Let's start with Marion Jones, who skipped the group stage and went straight to the final, and at one point she was so good at dominating the field that everyone thought she was black and had a great physical fitness, so she had an advantage in sprinting.
In fact, the truth is far from what everyone thinks, she is a "mixed race" with half African and half white blood.
So let's take a look at what is the "bottom" that is "unsuspenseful".
In fact, in many sports, such as swimming, badminton, tennis, etc., black players have never been seen.
Take the Olympic Games, the world's most attended event, in terms of the number of medals often played, blacks, especially swimming, are far less than whites, in fact, this phenomenon is not surprising, they gather in the United States, there are many races in the United States, each race has its own good sports.
So there are so many black people in the United States, what is the sport that black people are best at?
From the perspective of their physical condition, they are excellent in terms of explosiveness, endurance, speed, etc., which give them an advantage in track and field events.
However, they are only good at one or two projects, while the United States gathers so many people and all races, and they are good at as many as three!
The most important thing in the competition is explosiveness, endurance, and speed, so why don't they see black players when they gather in the United States?
There are many popular sports in the world, one of which is called "diving", and black people are not good at this sport, and because of this sport, they can't enter the competition in other sports, so they rarely choose other sports, and choose track and field and basketball, two sports that they are good at.
It can be said that there are only a few areas in which they have an advantage, and they are "scum" in other fields.
So why do whites get more medals?
It's actually quite simple, because there are more white people, and there are more areas to choose from.
The author thinks.
So, the reason why whites can get more medals is actually because they have more choices.
No one says how strong white sports are, at the end of the day, black and white sports are about the same, and everyone is fighting at the top of the arena with their own hard work and sweat, which is nothing to argue.
The last thing I want to say is that whoever has the last laugh is the strongest, so I hope you don't be too obsessed and prejudiced about the strengths and weaknesses of others.
