This is something I just thought of. Do most Americans love the rough and tough life? Do they like being muscular and the need "to be a man"?
Is this also the reason why they are so active and excel in sports?
Are the Brits also like that? Or the French or Canadians?

No, i dont think Americans like to be muscular and excel in sports. The fact is that we have alot of money when it comes to sports. Because of that, we can get the best trainers and that helps out our athletes alot. Also we have alot of money invested in science that helps alot too. Technology is important, how do you think he was able to win Le Tour, he was like a whole engineering team designing his bikes.
If you are talkinng about basket ball and that we are good, that is because we play street ball first which means little rules, roughness goes and only susses call fouls unless its all ugly. With this training since childhood Americans are good at that sport.
Football players are strong too, but I would like to see them go against rugby players or whatever that european futball is, without pads. That would be awsome, so the europenas could probably beat the US from the NFL. Who knows.
As far as running, I really dont know, I just know that we have black people that are fast, and again we have alot of money invested in them.
Thats what I think. Soccer is not americas sport but look it how fast its rising, when you have money you can do alot.

Most Americans seem to celebrate being childishly ignorant about the world and everything in it. The rest of western civilization has pretty much grown up.

i think that is just what is portrayed by the media ..i visit us a lot and am always amazed at the sheer size of some of the people and the size of the servings put in front of you in restaurants.
Lots of fit looking black guys about but fit white men few and far between ..you have to go to the gyms to see them.Its very much homer simpson world ...lol

Hell no. Americans are fat and lazy. I live with them. Of course, I am not fat, but sometimes lazy.
