I hate Bryant Gumbo as much as the next guy. However, while I think his "no black athletes" argument is silly, I agree 100% that the majority of the athletes at the winter olympics ARE NOT the best athletes in the world. You heard me, they aren't. Or even close. I base this on the fact that a MILLIONTH of a percent of the world's population (black, white, pink, green, ect) never have, and never will have, access to these particular sports. Whereas a far greater number of the world's population will, at some point in their lifetime, have access to a soccer ball, or a baseball, or a basketball. I'm not saying that these particular sports contain the best athletes in the world, or are the best sports in and of themselves. What I am saying, is that there is at least a system where hundreds of millions of people worldwide play these, and the best of the best are able to progress while everyone else is weeded out. I'll take someone who was able to beat out millions of others in their sport over some fucking guy who was able to beat the other thousand or so luge guys who are apparently out there.
