Olympics, Paris, 2024

[Per]

For those that are surprised that South Sudan beat Puerto Rico in basketball, it should be noted that South Sudan has never lost a single Olympic basketball game. In part because most people there are Nilotic, which is the basic blueprint for the body type a successful basketball player should have - tall, slender, long arms and long legs.
And in part also because this was their first game ever.

Is it racism to say that tall people with long limbs have an advantage in basketball?

Modern humans evolved in Africa and lived there for 200,000 years. Then a small group of them left some 70,000 years ago and populated the rest of the world. Thus all non-Africans are very closely related. There is a much greater gene spread within Africa than outside of Africa. Tallest people? Africa. Shortest people? Africa. They basically are home of all extremes. Well, except when it comes to skin colour. Skin colour is an adaption to the local climate and is a compromise between protection against the sun and allowing the the production of vitamin D. Basically the closer to the equator you live, the darker the skin. Originally all modern humans were dark skinned, but the poor sun light in northern Europe and Asia led to vitamin D deficiency and thus fair skin was an evolutionary advantage in those areas. But Europeans weren’t really fair skinned until the late neolithic. And in Africa being fair skinned is a huge disadvantage, so the traits never developed there. Sure, North Africans aren’t very dark, but that is because of people from the fertile crescent, ie the first farners, moved westward and populated the whole Mediterranean area.

It is in the Woke regions of North America.

Anyway, you've once again misinterpreted my sarcastic intent in using your post as a muse for political commentary.....

Tajikistan Olympian refuses to shake Israeli athlete’s hand, yells ‘Allah Akbar' during Judo competition

A Judo competitor at the Paris Olympics refused to shake his Israeli competitor's hand after the match, as is customary, and was hit with immediate karma, according to X users.

Judoka Nurali Emomali of Tajikistan refused to shake hands with his Israeli opponent, Tohar Butbul, following their match in the round of 16 Sunday. Emomali, who won the match, chose to walk off the mat without the customary post-match gesture.

Before he left the mat, X users pointed out that he said, "Allahu Akbar" while holding up a prayer symbol, known as the "Finger of Tawheed", which refers to the Islamic belief that "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His prophet."

Shortly after, Emomali competed against Japanese Olympian Hifumi Abe, which ended in a brutal fashion. At the end of the match, Abe slammed Emomali to the ground. Emomali reached his left arm towards the ground, but the force of the fall, and the weight of Abe, caused his arm to bend and dislocate.

Emomali had to be carried out by Olympic staff members due to the severity of his injury.

Social media users called it instant karma for bad sportsmanship for refusing to shake hands with his opponent in the prior match.

Fucking Tajikistanians...
