So lets see. Every country in the world can enter the same number of athletes into events. For example Israel 10, China 10, Russia 10, Jamaica 10, England 10, and so on and so on. Now I don't know how many countries there are in the world at this second, but I'm sure it'll be different in the morning. But if we take all the countries of the world and put their athletes up against ours, statistics alone would say that the chances of the US, or any other single country, dominating any one sport are slim. Unless of course that is the only sport that country focuses on.

But what the author seems to fail to realize, is that though we aren't "winning" everything, we do have a tendency to be major players in most all sports.

The author is just another of the hate America crowd.

In NASCAR, a lot of people hate Jeff Gordon. But no honest fan or any driver on the track ever discounts him from a race.

In baseball the Chicago Cubs have a tendecy to be pathetic losers. Oh forget that analogy.

The point I'm trying to make is that an honest person would view the US sports achievements, not by our so called failures, but by our many successes.

This author obviously isn't honest.

I think the author has a valid point. 1/3 of the MLB players are foreigners, about 1/2 the NHL is foreign, increasingly the foreigners are playing in the NBA.

I see the kids today and they are nice, but they don't have the competitive desire of yesteryear.
