50 Greatest WHITE ATHLETES!

[_Bach]

So would anyone here, or do you believe anyone in the public, would be, or should be, offended if the likes of Fox Sports, or any other media created a sight for the 50 Greatest White athletes should be criticized? Anyone here offended by honoring the 50 Greatest White Athletes as ESPN has done for black athletes?

If so - WHY?

And I admit - had some free time late on the beach here in Belize for all these posts tonight!!!

Obviously it's:



No one, and I mean NO ONE could do what the renowned athlete Joseph Smith did running with a stack of gold plates in one arm, jumping over fallen trees, and fending off attackers. The man. The myth. The LEGEND... JOSEPH "LOOK AT HIM RUN" SMITH!

The plates were not very heavy. 50 pound range. For a man in his 20's used to heavy farm labor, with the advantage of adrenaline, it is entirely probable for him to carry them at a good clip. Emma would move them around the house when cleaning.

Have you ever tried to run "a good clip" with 50lbs under your arm, over tree trunks, and all the while evading and fending off adult males? Do you understand how impossible that scenario is?

A typical weight limit for an item of Economy class checked baggage is 23kg, 50.7 pounds. Think about the last time you lifted such a bag onto the belt at check-in.

You might manage to run some distance with such a weight in a well-balanced rucksack, but certainly not tucked under one arm. And the idea of doing that while jumping logs and fighting people off (with the one free hand?!) is simply not credible.

(And of course - if the people who were trying to rob him were serious about grabbing the gold plates, why didn't they all jump him together? They story of them attacking him one by one makes no sense.)

Yeah, how my wife manages that 30+ pound pack and kevlar during a military exercise is mind boggling ain't it?

Lol@30lbs ruck. Lol.

Anyway.

When I was assigned to USASUCK we had an outdoor area dedicated to a sort of crossfit area. We had stone balls on a rack, dumbbells, and various other items you could use to lift, throw around, and carry around a dirt track. For anyone being bamboozled by CCC's or subgenius' claim that you can wrap a 50 lbs weight in a coat and run around with it, well, it's just not happening. Ever. That tells me they've never really worked or worked out with that kind of weight.

He carries 50 pounds under his arm and runs three miles home .. and fights off the three dumb-clucks who attack him one by one.

Nope, nothing implausible there.

Joseph Smith's mother, Lucy Mack Smith, remembered the day this way: "The plates were secreted about three miles from home... Joseph, on coming to them, took them from their secret place, and, wrapping them in his linen frock, placed them under his arm and started for home." After proceeding a short distance, he thought it would be more safe to leave the road and go through the woods. Traveling some distance after he left the road, he came to a large windfall, and as he was jumping over a log, a man sprang up from behind it, and gave him a heavy blow with a gun. Joseph turned around and knocked him down, then ran at the top of his speed. About half a mile further he was attacked again in the same manner as before; he knocked this man down in like manner as the former, and ran on again; and before he reached home he was assaulted the third time. In striking the last one he dislocated his thumb, which, however, he did not notice until he came within sight of the house, when he threw himself down in the corner of the fence in order to recover his breath. As soon as he was able, he arose and came to the house. lie was still altogether speechless from fright and the fatigue of running" (History of Joseph Smith by His Mother, Lucy Smith, pp.107-108).
