We(USA) suck at everything now.

Only thing our athletes have passion about now is the mighty dollar. Rest of the countries this is their only passion and drive in life.

I think there's some truth to this.

I know it's a silly example, but look at how good our snowboarders and skateboarders are. They have a PASSION for their sport, they put in TONS of work, and it translates into success for the nation in general.

You are right that those sports are not corrupted the ways others are, however I don't discount the work ethic of people in corrupted sports either.

I used to be a big tennis fan - the USA always had 2 or 3 of the top 5 players - now I can't pronounce anybody's name (top 5) and Agassi is retiring.

I also like golf where we got our arses smoked historically in the R. Cup this year. The world has certainly caught up and is in the passing lane.
