Why would i have to prove your point?.
You really are a retard.
If i make a claim i at least try to back it up with some facts so why cant you?.
Because your talking Bull Shit.
The fact there are sports that shit money yet are not dominated by blacks would be my first clue.
Again football(soccer) as a example full of blacks and whites and most races the game shits money some players on $240 000 a week so why is every team not black then?.

Prove it you fucking idiot.

You are going to try and argue that internationally contested strength competitions are less of an indicator than --American-- football as to the physical potential of the 6 billion human beings on this planet? As for your claims about "winning the bench press" at a one sport specific combine, I challenge you to go do some research on current world record holders.....while you're at it, do a little reading on some serious lifting--Olympic weightlifting.

Baseless folk style claims such as the ones you're making have no place in a rational discussion, and quite frankly you're turning this otherwise quality thread putrid.
I truly believe that if you trained blacks to devote their time to olympic weightlifting, then they would consistenly place high if not win most competitions. The countries that do well in weightlifting, sponsor their athletes with help from the goverement (alot of help). Besides the steroid usuage is great in the countries of eastern europe.Long tradition in olympic weightlifting and so on. Long lines of doping scandals. My main point: I think on the average african american athletes are better ballistic style compeitors.

Watch the NFL combine every year and tell me what you see. American Football is one of the better athlete comparisons. Whites love football; alot of them, if they could, would compete on the pro level. As do blacks. Who make up the majority in the sport. Barry Switzer from OU if he could, he would have nothing but black athletes on his team back in the day. Talk to him and get his opinion. I'm sure he knows world class potential and ability when he sees it. Do you?

You're providing absolutely no evidence to support your claims other than "watch football" and "whites like football too" as if those two statements somehow objectively provide for what you're saying. I won't go into the myriad of factors that can effect the demographics of sports in different countries because again, one team oriented sport practiced almost exclusively in the US isn't any kind of determinant in regards to a race's physical potential......but without taking all of these into account the discussion is moot anyway.

I can see we're not going to get any actual studies or evidence out of you, only an opinion. Thanks for playing though.

I dont watch Americaqn football because im not from America.But if thats a good athletic comparison then footballs just as good.
But i can comment on the biggest sport on earth and its full of blacks whites every race and none dominate id say more than others racially.
The best footballer last year was black (Ronaldinho) this year hes Latin (Ronaldo).
You make a lot of bull shit claims yet back up none.
Oh yeah its because your full of shit.
