    The correct person to ask here is @WilburHooksHands - he's the keeper of all Houston knowledge.
    His handle is hard to recall from memory, so fuck him.

    It's comical, and probably fitting, how close this reasoning is getting to the taboo of "HBD". DDY, are you a reader of Pinker, Lynn, Nisbett, etc.? Perhaps more bombastic or recent types like Charles Murray, Eric/Bret Weinstin, or others in the headlines?

    @jarlsbergraygun is a fucking amazing handle.

    I don't keep up with the science headlines like that, but I've driven Dick Nisbett to a bar.

    In sports? I don't follow soccer, so they well could... there are a lot of theories about why West Africans seem to be so dominant in sport, but a) it doesn't seem equally distributed across all Africa and b) there's not really a good handle on it right now, partially because it's so controversial of a topic.

    I was just pontificating on my idea a bit more. I got the shot at Ecklund and appreciate it good sir.

    I bet the hunting thing for white kids is equivalent to jewelry or tattoos for black kids from the fast strategy side of things. (AKA... the races aren't different at all, just different interests)
    Fast, white, poor can confirm.

    Zulus are bantus which means they are closely related to the West African tribes.

    They migrated too far, however, and got shitty at sports.


    Zulus are great sprinters. That happens when you have the hunt #MySpringBok and have to contend with lions and shit.

    Told you guys we needed a Nigerian DL coach.
    I was hoping Onwuzurike could bring us a Nigerian DL pipeline, they're usually raw but with good coaching those guys can become elite with their athletcism for their size.

    As a slow-strategy (based on that framework) blindingly white boi from an east-coast public HS which was roughly 33% black 30% latino and 25% white (rest Asian/middle eastern/African/other), the joke when I went to UW/lived in SEA was that if I saw a black person they played for the Huskies/Seahawks/Sonics.

    It is definitely true that people are far more creative and innovative when they have limited resources. It's also an interesting framework to apply to the old tyme row boat legends. Joe Rantz would without question be considered fast-strategy based on that framework but was someone who reaped the benefits of the stable, supportive environment of Washington Rowing.

    Agree - Rantz's environmental inputs as child would have been Fast Strategy no doubt. Then he goes on to beat Nazis and become a chemical engineer.

    The solution to our too many white players problem is more Africans. The Africans that are coming to America and giving birth to baller ass children like the Ngata's and Levi's parents are educated with jobs and provide a stable, two-parent living environment for their children. Therefore, it is more likely that African players fit the OKG profile than regular African American's; many of which come from a single parent household and poor background because the government loves to lock up their fathers instead of all the white drug addicts in the suburbs. In short, more Africans equals more black people that fit the program which equals less white people.

    Pretty much.
