THE OFFICIAL 2012 SUMMER OLYMPICS THREAD

[Topps]

^^^

if you honestly think the niggas you just posted wouldnt see anything but tyson gay's backlights (no homo) you confused nigga

I'm talking about pure all-around athletic ability not just speed dumbass. What can Tyson Gay do outside of running?

Both LeBron James and Allen Iverson could have played football. Allen Iverson was a High School All-American in football and Basketball. LeBron was one of the top football players in Ohio until he decided to only play basketball his senoir year. He was offered a football and basketbal sholarship by Ohio State.

 

[BoldChild]

This clown Topps is a fucking idiot, dude a lot of top tier college football players run track in college, you need to dead that talk about your best athletes don't do track. It wasn't a problem when ya'll was dominating track and field with Michael Johnson, Maurice Green, Marion Jones,etc, but now all of a sudden it's ''our best athletes don't participate". Fuck outta here nigga!

You are a dumbass if you think USA top athletes run track. USA top athletes are in the NBA and NFL. Nobody cares about running track in the USA when you can make 10's of millions dollars playing in the NBA and NFL. Only people who keep running track are those who wasn't good enough to play football or basketball.

2004 USA Basketball Team had some of the USA best athletic talent.

Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, LeBron James>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Any USA track runner.

Puerto Rico athletes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jamaica Athletes. And you know this is true.

Stop catching feeling nigga.

Tyson Gay- 2nd fastest nigga all time, and yet you think there is a nigga in the NFL that can beat him.

1 9.58 +0.9 Usain Bolt JAM 21.08.86 1 Berlin 16.08.2009

2 9.69 ±0.0 Usain Bolt JAM 21.08.86 1 Beijing 16.08.2008

4 9.71 +0.9 Tyson Gay USA 09.08.82 2 Berlin

Yeah, according to Topps, the niggas that was running Track in High school, and breaking records, or somehow slower than their football counterparts who were also running track in HS.

And before you pull that "the football niggas was doing two sports", most Track athletes do fuel sports as well.

The son of a track and field coach, Walter Dix competed at athletics meetings from a young age, specialising in sprinting and the long jump. His speed also translated well to the football field, and he often played the sport at school.[1] Dix was an accomplished high school runner: in his final year at Coral Springs High School in 2004 he recorded 10.28 seconds in the 100 meters, then third all-time on the Florida high school record list behind only Houston McTear and Curtis Johnson, and broke the 200 meters Florida high school record with 20.62 seconds. Aside from J-Mee Samuels' 10.28 seconds in the 100 m, these were the two fastest marks by a high school athlete that year.[2] Both these times were within the Olympic standard for the events. He competed at the US Olympic Trials in the 200 m, but did not progress beyond the heats stage.[3]

Yeah, sure, keep thinking there are people in the NFL faster than a nigga who is the second fastest 100m sprinter of all time in the sport of Track and Field. LOL, just LOL @ Tim Duncan, A.I., or LeBron being faster than any Pro sprinters. You got to be trolling.

We are talking Track, and in Track, speed is all that matters. (for the sprinters at least) There are also many Pro Track and Field athletes that played D1 college football, or had the opportunity to do so if they wanted.

Who is making more Walter Dix or Chris Johnson?

That your answer dumbass.

I not talking about just speed, but overall athletic ability, Why would Chris Johnson keep running track, when he can make $30 million in the NFL.

Dumbass people on here.

Chris Johnson contract six-year, $56 million deal. Walter Dix?$?$?$?$?

USA best athletes are in the NBA and NFL. NBA/NFL money>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>track money.

So basically you're claiming that because someone has more athletic ability they must be faster. *facepalm* Other than that, there are different kinds of athletic ability. A Track pro may be fast as hell, and can jump (long jump) but they may not have good hands, and probably can't start and stop on a dime.(the main reason a lot of pro sprinters aren't in football)

The money Chris Johnson is making in the NFL is irrelevant, because his not fast enough to run with the big boys in Track anyway.

 

[BoldChild]

Here is a better comparison.

Trindon Holiday had potential to go pro in Track, but he decided to go to the NFL instead. Him and Walter Dix often raced against each other.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trindon_Holliday He makes around 550k a year.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Dix Walter Dix makes 1 million a year, and Gay and other sprinters were making even more than that in their prime.

I've heard people on youtube with the same argument as this guy "americas top athletes play other sports blah, blah blah"

It just comes down to some people being salty their country doesnt dominate everything.

Whats the excuse for the chinese in gymnastics....."americas best and most limber women are on girls gone wild or else we would rule" ?!

 

[BoldChild]

Chris Johnson in HS. uhh, nope. He wouldn't touch Bolt or Gay, or anyone in the Olympic final for that matter. His not even the fastest nigga in the NFL.

Johnson played high school football at Olympia High School in Orlando until breaking his leg his senior year. Johnson was also a track star at Olympia High. In his senior year, he finished second in the 100 metres at the 2004 Florida 4A state championships behind 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix.[2] In addition, Johnson also finished his senior season posting personal bests of 10.50 (the nation's 10th fastest in 2004)[3] and 21.30 (the nation's 24th fastest in 2004) in the 100 metres and 200 metres respectively. His junior year he qualified for the finals of the Florida State meet with a preliminary time of 10.83. Walter Dix won the event with a 10.46 in the finals, Johnson placed 4th with a time of 10.66.

Considered only a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, Johnson was not ranked among the nation's top running back prospects in 2004.[4] He selected East Carolina over Eastern Kentucky and UConn.

Anyway, I see what you're saying now. You're saying that guys in the NBA are more athletic because they can play in the NFL, and NBA right? This is true in some cases, but in others I assure you that most sprinters are more athletic than Tim Duncan.

Wack argument, you're basically calling them lesser athletes because they can't perform in sports that you like to watch, lol.

Puerto Rico athletes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jamaica Athletes. And you know this is true.

Stop catching feeling nigga.

Anyway, I see what you're saying now. You're saying that guys in the NBA are more athletic because they can play in the NFL, and NBA right? This is true in some cases, but in others I assure you that most sprinters are more athletic than Tim Duncan.

Wack argument, you're basically calling them lesser athletes because they can't perform in sports that you like to watch, lol.

Wrong, why would some kept on running track if they could make more money in the NBA or NFL. That is just common sense. It have nothing to do with rather I like to watch the sport or not. Little kids in the USA grow up wanting to be a NBA or NFL player not a track runner.
