I'm sure he was talking in relative terms. That's like saying, why are all basketball players "tall", even though there are a few short guys from time to time.

Why do all hockey players have funny names?

Why are all long distance runners from Africa? Sure there are exceptions, but when you look at a basketball game, a majority of the people playing are gonna be black.

That's very true. Another question is why are all hockey players white. Well, they are not all white. I've seen a couple of games in the National Hockey League that had an African-American (or were they African-Canadian?) player.

There was one player who played for the Washington Capitals in 2002-2003. His name was Mike Grier, a real good player, but he bounced around a few times. He scored a shorthanded goal against Phoenix when I traveled to Phoenix to see them play the Capitals in December 2002.

Then I suppose Africa would have led the world in Olympic medals. Summer Olympics, that is.

When you are done throwing up the black power fist and wearing you dashiki please feel free to go back to England where there are only 8 black people lol.

American black people are so adept at sports because in the days of slavery they were bred for physicality. The strongest and most athletic slaves were bred together to create stronger slaves who could work more. Black people also seem to naturally be more physically coordinated than white people.
