the problem is, people want to label everything.
blacks=athletic
whites=gritty,work ethic,etc
If you look at each case differently, you will find just as many of the blacks had to work harder than the rest of their team mates to get to the top.
But the Media loves to label everything, thus you get stuck into the labels of slow, smart, work ethic, etc if ur a white guy. Athletic, speed, etc if ur black.
Baseball is really good at this, all of the AAAA guys who are white and make it, and play their asses off to stay in Majors are always labeled as scrappy players, etc. Been many black/hispanic players who were scrappy, but they never get the label.

Personally I put zero stock into anything sports analysts say outside of x's and o's, so that stuff doesn't bother me.

Fast twitch muscles are genetic and West Africans and their descendents have high proportions. And my guess is that English, French, and other west Europeans tend to have lower proportions. So the apparent disparity is white Americans tending to be less athletic and black Americans more athletic when compared to much of the rest of the world.
i think it has more to do with African-Americans constantly playing and training because that's how they supposedly get to college and "get out" from their rural towns or in the innner city. White kids know they can get to college through the books and because they have more money, therefore, they don't want it as bad

To not see that Pro Sports Stars are predominately African-Americans,well,I guess you'd have to not be watching.
Ehh, in basketball and American football. That's two sports out of many.
Two best soccer players in the world are European and European Southern American.

It's because black folks are triggered by any and everything. If you say that they are superior athletes it automatically means to them that you're saying that they are dumb.
TBH most blacks aren't like this. It's just those SJWs of which some are white.

Wish we could ask Jimmy the Greek. Calling him Jimmy the Greek is racist now days though.

To be honest from my view, only the morons on twitter who are black get all triggered. The majority of the people triggered are White people.
Everyday Blacks not on twitter or facebook just dont give a fark, they already have enough on their plate to worry about.
For some reason SJW/Snowflakes feel they should be triggered for the black race.

I know this pisses off some black people. A lot of these white SJWs think blacks and other minorites need their help and can understand what they're going through.

Could it be that there are different ideals, pressures, circumstances (a number of things) that create someone who is better at one thing over the other and really doesn't have as much to do with race.
No, no it couldn't

It's not
Athletic superiority should be bragged about
Academic superiority is racist and only exists because of cultural bias

People are terrified by the prospect of acknowledging differences in the macro, because of the bad behavior it spawns in the micro.
It also does a lot to shatter the illusion that fairness can be constructed, with sufficient planning.
