USA has the best athletes in the world?

That table about medals per population means NOTHING. You know why? Because you can still have the same number of athletes that are actually in the Olympics. Also, the Olympics are made up of mostly amateur athletes and hardly anyone watches that crap anymore anyway. News flash, Soccer(futbol) sucks and is boring. The reason people in other countries like Soccer so much is because that this is the sport they are actually good at and it requires almost no expense at all. All you need is a ball, a field, and something to use as a goal(2 sticks would work really). Most of the sports in the Olympics are boring and a waste of time. Sports like American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, etc. require a lot more overall atheleticism because you have to do multiple things at the same time. Most Olympic sports require you do do only 1 thing at a time.

What a ridiculous post.  The sports you like, actually have watched and understand require more athleticism and you have to do multiple things at the same time, but the ones you don't like, haven't watched and don't understand don't?  Right.  That's like me saying that most American football players are unskilled fat brutes with no athletic skills beyond weight and strength, except that part is actually true.
