All athletes aren't created equal...but does it really matter?

I spent the weekend watching this year's X GAMES and after reading this month CrossFit Journal, it reminded me of all those issues raised about the "fairness" of the CrossFit Games, that some body types aren't meant for that kind of competition...all a bunch of B.S.
.....
You see, a saw skaters and BMX riders, some tall, some short, some bulked up, some skinny...and they all rocked! It all comes down to who executes under pressure, who has practiced the most, who's mentally tougher. Thats what makes the difference in all sports! All of them, so why would the CrossFit Games be any different?

This amazing X GAMES athletes, defy age, body type and even gender (a few year back a girl used to skate with the guys). This year we had arguably the best BMX rider in history, Dave Mirra, make his debut in the Rally competition and made it all the way to the Semifinals! What would all the sissies that cry about the "fairness" of the "sport of fitness" say about this. How about a guy that has never raced in Rally, competing with drivers with years of experience? Guess what?...it didn't matter to him. Mirra is a winner, a real competitor and was mentally ready for it. Once again, that's what matters.

NBA players are supposed to be tall and somewhat strong. Then explain to me how come Allen Iverson became the 3rd best scorer in the history of the league? 6'0'', 189 pounds? In the NFL, Brandon Jacobs is the running back of the GIANTS at 6'4'', 264 pounds, how can that be?
....
Hell, if we dare to say it...blacks weren't supposed to play golf 'till Tiger came along and kicked everyone's ass!
....
So, to all the cry babies saying the CrossFit Games reward this and that type of athletes, remember this. They reward the best athletes on those 2 days! Maybe there's a dude with a 1:50 Fran somewhere or someone with a blazing 10k. But when you put them on the big stage, they just won't perform as well.

'Till next time...keep doing the impossible!
