Default Re: Why is the US so good at sports?

Meh, China and India have us crushed in population, but they're all coming from the same gene pool. The Melting pot effect of the US allows for not only a wide array of genetic traits, but also means that we have people bringing their cultures games with them.
If Kazakstan invents a new athletic competition tommorrow, its going to get to the US before it gets to China and India because of our immigration. Once the game is here, we have the wide assortment of genetics and the money to find the best person for the game.
