Americans are losing their competitive edge in sports. Are we becoming lazy bums?

Justine Henin recently knocked Serena Williams out of the French Open. There are no Americans left in the competition.

The current heavyweight boxing champion list looks like this: Shannon Briggs WBO (USA), Ruslan Chagaev WBA (Uzbek), Sultan Ibragimov WBO (Russian).
Who in the hell are these guys?

I know who these guys are: Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Ray Mercer, Michael Moorer, Riddick Bowe and Tim Witherspoon.

MLB is experiencing a decline in AA players and a dramatic increase of players of Latin descent.

The NBA is experiencing an ever increasing influx of foreign born players that really know how to play good ball. The USA mens Olympic basketball team discacefully took home the bronze medal in 2004.

The list goes on and on.

I dont know much about hockey but I suspect the same trends.

Football? Well...we are the only ones who know to play it.

If this keeps up we are in serious trouble.
