The best white American athletes are playing football and baseball. Guys like George Kittle, Dylan Ctrews, and Bobby Witt Jr are just as good athletically as any white Euro.
Yep, the McCaffreys and Cooper Dejean's may play soccer as kids, but they eventually switch to American sports

europeans focus so much on practice/drills from an early age, whereas America has seemed to gravitate towards playing a maximum amount of games and less time for drilling to become more skilled
I remember that as well. One thing that stuck out they don’t even worry about keeping score until almost teenage years.

European white kids didn't have black 6th graders dunking causing them to check out of the sport the moment they saw that.

They have the want to be good. Americanos have the want to be Stars/rich.
This, they have a hunger and drive - our kids want to play video games and play on their phones they will only work as hard as they have to.

Watch US vs Belgium and notice the dribbling/handling of the 2 teams
It was most apparent when on attack. The US attack was always disjointed, while Belgium worked in unison.

Define Europe?
For instance, in Russia during the communist eras, sport coaches ran a battery of test on kids and that determined what sports they played and got into

Why is there not an American Doncic or Jokic or Dirk, etc?
You might also notice most of the Europeans come from a certain region. There’s not a Jokic from Ireland either.

I taught a foreign exchange student one year, she said they don’t have sports at their schools. It’s all Clubs.

Mother fricker please. This white American would put white Europeans into a pretzel
He is an inch taller and 40 pounds heavier than the Viking everyone in Europe is terrified of “on the pitch”
