That's complete BS, Blacks do dominate sports. As a whole, Blacks don't play the other sports but when they do, they usually end up the best. Best Boxer? Best Baseball player?
1-Speed kills, an individual with this skill will dominate. Blacks are known for their speed. I played basketball for many years. I honestly played very well against my fellow Caucasians but I struggled with faster players, who the mass majority of the time were black. For reasons unknown, blacks are simply faster. They have a higher potential to be a pro athlete, regardless of the chosen sport.
2-Motivation: More truth, don't shoot the messenger. Poverty motivates, living in the hood with no viable direction motivates some to pursue sports. Blacks view sports as their only way out of the hood. Bill Cosby is rightfully trying to change that viewpoint.
I have many more points but I will stop here because I am not posting groundbreaking information. We know this already.
I wouldn't say we dominate every sport, maybe the popular ones like basketball and running, but definitely not all. Football is like 60% Black and 40% White, I don't consider that completely dominating.

I agree and there are lots of other professions where blacks excel and are in the majority. We read about them all the time and see them on the TV news and sometimes even in the sports report.
I hear people say that and I read it all over the internet.
Blacks DO NOT dominate pro sports. NBA and NFL, yes but there are other sports(MOST) in which blacks are no where near dominating.
Interesting, there is that idea.
In Australian rules, the don't dominate... but they do have a higher tendency to have freaky, silky skills ... so they do grab a bit more attention
So how many pages until this thread gets closed? 3? 5? Any bets?
Anyway, I think the perception is due to the fact that in Nations with notable black minority populations, blacks are highly overrepresented in comparison to their presence in the general population.
(American) Football is the most popular sport in the US, and the NFL percentage of black players is over five times that of the US population.
Similarly, England is about 2% black, but they sent a squad that was 1/3 black to the last World Cup.
Basically, it's not that all the top athletes are black, but given that blacks are such a minority in the US and Europe, it makes their presence more noticeable.

You sure about that?
Hockey regarded as one of the hardest if not the hardest sport to play is dominated by Caucasians. With the exception of Jerome Iginla, most blacks in Hockey are medicore or average players.
Soccer: The entire game is played on foot. It is a game of stamina and speed. Blacks don't dominate soccer, not even close.
Baseball: Blacks don't dominate this game either and only outnumber asians in ethnic representation. Hispanics and Caucasians dominate baseball.
It is true that blacks view sports as their only way out of poverty. Therefore there is more dedication, they put in the work, etc to use sports to get out. Whites usually don't have to rely on such and look more into education. There is also alot of pressure from middle class parents on education over sports. To be reach the professional level of a sport, you have to dedicate all your time to training and playing. This is a problem for anyone who is looking to get a legitimate education.
I fail to see the relevance of this topic, or at least the way its being presented here. I don't see why it matters if people of one color dominate any given sport...
