Wouldn't a fairer 'google' be to look for gold medals/medals per million population, or something like?
If you go by gold medals, it would not work due to we never play our best players. We play almost all college players. Average teenagers know this. Radio knows nothing about baseball, he googles, and comes back. The articles I post? Are never opinion. They are from Major Networks where they get fact checked over and over. If they make a mistake, they get fired.
Take basketball. You can see it much easier when we stopped playing college players and we played our pro's. We killed everyone. STill do.
It is never a a slight against another country. Some own football or what we call soccer, some own rugby, some own golf, hockey, and a ton of others. Baseball is a sport we own. The countries he mentioned don't have full leagues, some not at all.
They all want to play here. Because they want to play with the best. Cuba has great players. But when they come here, some are great, some are not. But they are not close to being as good as us.
You are right about the population. We are bigger. And have a much bigger pool to take from. But it really does not matter. We are just better. I gave articles proving the truth. They don't want the truth. They don't even know or understand baseball. lol Ask them questions.
I don't think they even played sports from the way they talk. mma fixed? Really? Then lets just say all sports are fixed. And be done with it. It is all nonsense.
I choose not to talk with them anymore because it is just a back and forth and they have no interest in truth, just fighting with me. They are only good with words and a keyboard.
