How come muslims are very bad at sports?
Hello, in my world culture unit in school we are doing a project on how each race has unique talents which make them a valuable demographic to a larger unified world. I chose to convey this doctrine by showing a variety of different ethnic groups with specific examples and what they excel at. So far my project incorporates Michael Phelps(Caucasion-USA) as the best swimmer and proven greatest athlete of the world of all time, Hussein Bolt(*****-Jamaica) as the up and coming short distance superstar and arguably the second greatest athlete of all time, Yao Ming(Han Chinese-China) as one of the most dynamic modern basketball players in the National Basketball ociation, George St. Pierre(caucasion-Canada) and Anderson Silva(*****-Brazil) as the single two greatest mixed martial artists to grace the sport (I'm not talking about theatrical spectacle such as Jacky Chan or Bruce Lee, rather actual proficienty in the sport of MMA), Mark Spitz(Caucney Jew-USA) as the second greatest swimmer of all time after Michael Phelps, and a plethora of less notable examples from a variety of different ethnicities. What I have noticed is that Muslim people haven't achieved anything at all in the realm of sports, and I am trying to understand the reasoning behind this. I know ultra orthadox muslims do not partake in alot of sports because it conflicts with their extremist beliefs, especially the women who can't really wear any sort of athletic uniform without being beaten in the streets by their "owners". But I go to school with alot of Muslims, and they really aren't good at anything pertaining to athletics; I am on the wrestling team there are a few muslim kids in my weight cl and a few in heavier weight cles, and I have never had trouble plowing through them. I don't intend for this to sound hateful or vulgar, rather I'm pursuing an explanation as to why muslims suck at sports. Also I was hoping that Muhammad Ali was muslim so I could use him as an example for my project, BUT ethnically he is ***** not arab, and as it turns out he is an agnostic, not muslim. So no Muhammad Ali is just another black guy who is great at his chosen sport.
