The Official 2016 Olympics thread: Medals Are For the Elite but Zika is For Everybody

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Japan only stepped on the line and came off it straight away they didn't interfere (or put themselves at great risk of interfering) with other athletes hence why they haven't been disqualified

Yet

I'm not on here to argue with you dude.......


We already know the truth, Jamaica has the fastest sprinters today, and Bolt is GOAT........But the USA has better athletes than those dudes we saw out there in other sports.

The fastest player in the NFL would get smoked by any elite sprinter. They are training for completely different sports.

 

[Miggs]

these dudes are funny, jahvid best couldn't even get out of the heats. 40 yard dash is nothing compared to 100m. Jeff demps ran one of the fastest 40s yet he's never broken under 10 seconds

It's type funny to read.....so now Jeff Demps woulda won silver and pushed Bolt

Nah ya boy Gatlin just choked again under pressure..you don't need NFL receivers running track now

 

[315]

breh again Jeff demps has never ran under Ten seconds and h made the Olympics

Devon Allen never ran under 13 seconds in hurdles.

Olympic track speed is on a whole different level than college track speed or NFL track speed

No shyt. I'm not saying pluck the NFLs best today and put them on a track. I'm saying if a lot of these players
chose track instead of football you'd see more elite US sprinters

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Angry?

For what? He spent his career destroying yall.

Won in your country, world record at the time. Relay smoked the Americans in 96.

Embarrassed Michael Johnson in that 150m showdown. That pulled hamstring

Yeah I know. But he's angry at something breh. Btw, Mike was lame for that bullshyt! I lost respect for him from that day on.


What country to you live in? From?

 

[Chrishaune]

Also the football players are bulked up to play football. So even with that extra mass they are extremely fast.

Exactly. There's guys that are all over the football field on Sundays that ran track, but chose football on their way to college, and went on that bulk up plan for football. Guys all over college football fields that chose football over track , but ran track in High school. Football just is more attractive to a lot of athletes.

 

[MikelArteta]

I'd bet every dollar in my bank account not one player in the NFL could run sub 10 100 meters

The fastest player in the NFL would get smoked by any elite sprinter. You are training for completely different sports.

 

[Miggs]

It's the same problem we have for almost every international sporting event on the men's side. Majority of America's best sprinters are on a court or field.

Gay and Gatlin are by far the fastest US sprinters....no NFL player would come close to either...

 

[DynamoEAR]

FYI, track speed and football speed are 2 different animals.

Same stupid conversation every fukking 4 years.

 

[Big Boss]

Let me guess if we focused on track, the USA men would own it?

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

whose the fastest player in the nfl right now?

 

[TrebleMan]

Bolt would destroy any NFL/NBA player in the 100m-200m.

People don't even realize his world record breaking 100m isn't even the fastest he's ran. Dude has ran even faster in the 4x100m relay.

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

Other countries just don't invest in women's sports like we do.

In reality our women would also get dominated if other countries had title 9 and all the shyt we have here.

It's the same reason US women dominate soccer but the men are garbage.

 

[DynamoEAR]

Let me guess if we focused on track, the USA men would own it?

"But we don't have our best athletes out here" with all the money put into USA Track & Field? Jesus fukking christ.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

That's mostly cause other countries lack the funds to invest in women's and men's sports equally. USA because of title 9 is the outlier.

Men's track is really all that matters and US is basura at that.

Jamaica owns the 100 and 200 while Africans own 400 and above.

That's because our women are flat out better. Fukk is you taking about? The Jamaican women just got their asses smoked by us.
