johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'll support GB because I'm patriotic I support them with the same passion I support Wales with, regardless of funding or being pro or anti Olympics I'd guess that a lot of people are getting into this Games whether thats because its on our doorstep or not I don't know. I don't care where the athletes were born if they got a GB vest on they getting my backing WHY because I'm British !! These Games have created some wonderful memories for athletes and joe public and they should be supported. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite happy to support Team GB but theres no way i could support them as much as a Scottish competitor. You might think that wrong but i'm Scottish and dont think of myself as British...

But isn't that the great part about the Olympics, we're still Welsh, English, Scottish and NI but we live in GB and for a few weeks we can be a nation.

gnasher16 30,121 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I didn't mean to open a can of worms: sorry! And yes, it is dangerous ground to tread on: I'll just carry on screaming 'come on' to our athletes Myself i think its a can of worms that is open already and will never shut............Ive had a theory about races/sport for a number of years now that i think is gradually showing itself in the athletes we see today................... Its probably laughable to some.....but its my belief that eventually all of Great Britains best athletes will be half caste !!.......................And without doubt there are more and more " mixed race " athletes in GB vests competing and winning than ever before.......Gemili/Ennis etc .................. Do we expect the pure bred dogs to be the best hunters ? no......we crossbreed to take the best traits from a number of breeds to create the ultimate hunting canine............as a by product of immigration thats what we are sub consciously doing with athletes........................Usein Bolt ( black and worlds fastest ever man) has fantasic horse power but probably lacks outright strength,a white man will never again be worlds fastest man..................................never in the history of the Worlds Strongest Man competition has a black man ever won...............Marius Puzianowski ( white and 4 times World Strongest Man ) has fantastic torque but probably lacks outright speed...................... Black = Speed White = Strength You start crossing up these superb genetic traits..........................and you end up with the crossbreeds ( mixed races ) showing the greatest performance within sport.

Incidentley I'm Welsh and proud but I'm also British ! Honestly i've enjoyed it......i've shouted for Team GB when they've had a medal shot but i've also shouted for any country that has a WR attempt to break. Most exciting was watching Usain Bolt last night for me.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's fact gnasher the Afroamerican afroeuropean etc are genetically superior. At certain sports. But I don't agree all will end up mixed race as towards colour , we already are mixed race. And all ways have been and the genetics of the African continent is not suited to swimming. Mixed race or not.

gnasher16 30,121 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I did start to explain with a load of scientific bollocks but got completely bored myself after a few lines ....................suffice to say......a purebred black African will NEVER win a worlds strongest man contest.......same as a purebred white European will NEVER win the 100m...................but crosses of both have the potential to do great things between the extremes of each......as we are starting to see now,and will continue to see in generations to come......................
