THE OFFICIAL 2012 SUMMER OLYMPICS THREAD

[BoldChild]

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.

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!

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.

Did Walter Dix play college football? No

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.

You dumbass.

I guess reading comprehension wasn't taught at your shitty high school.

Where did I say more athletic ability mean they are faster. Good God you are a dumbass.

Athletic ability mean a number of things combined in one person ability such as, Strength, Vertical, Hand & Eye Coordination, Lateral Quickness, etc.

You implied it when you said, and referred to them as 3rd tier athletes in a later post, and your earlier post asserting that there are people in the NFL didn't help at all, you should have said you had switched your argument up.

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.

"Wrong, why would some kept on running track if they could make more money in the NBA or NFL?"

Because they are better at Track? Just like not everyone in the NFl has the potential to be a pro sprinter, not every pro sprinter has the potential to be in the NFL. As for the more money thing, like in the example I posted earlier, that is not always the case. Trindon Holiday who is in the NFL makes 550k a year, Walter Dix makes 1mil a year.

Go to a summer Track meet.

 

[gns]

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" ?!

Who said USA dominate in everything.

So, guess I'm mad that USA don't dominate in Table Tennis? With your stupid logic.

Only thing I did stupid in this thread was engage in a convo with u.

Go to a summer Track meet.

Go to a local basketball court in the hood or go to a High School football game the USA.

You see 1,000s of more people at a High School Football or Basketball game than a track meet in the USA.

Nobody cares about track and fields in the USA. The attendence and T.V. ratings of track meets prove this breh.

So, you telling me kids in the USA dream to be a track runner over the NFL and NBA?

GTFOH.

Yeap, your comment just prove you didn't watch the 1996 Atlanta opening ceremony.

 

[dontdiedontkillanyon]

If this opening ceremony is supposed to show life in the UK then it should end with pissed up fights in the car

park, people getting glassed, screaming girls, vomit and kebabs strewn across the stadium.

Am enjoying the opening ceremony though, a good little history lesson of the UK.

 

[northside7]

It's all about Trinidad & Tobago..

 

[bdbdbd]

How am I seeing more black people and people of colour during a british opening ceremony than I have ever seen at an American one??

an example of how "the man" uses "people of colour" as pawns....on some "yeh lets pretend we ar multi-cultural and embrace all cultures" type of bullshit.....instead of keeping it natural, they been shoving people of colour in our faces
