Why isnt there black guys competing in the worlds strongest man competition?

[Rex_Davey]

Before yall jump on me just let it be know that im a black man myself. I was just curious as to why there aint no brothers competing in the WSM competitions. I see all European dudes and stuff. What is it from, lack of interest. I dont know because there are lots of black body builders, and they are strong as ****, so then why not carry it over? Lack of money? not good enough regonition?

Discuss.

Steroids are expensive. Crack is cheaper.

I'd guess that the main reason may be because its mostly dominated by Scandinavians and Eastern European/Former Soviet Block nationals, where probably there are higher portions of white people?

Also, perhaps its partly socio-economical as well since gym fees, etc. can be spendy.

For some reason there seems to be a higher population of whites with the muscular traits to produce those types of athletes. Another reason may be similiar to what some say about heavy weight fighters, It takes too much dedication, pain, and wear and tear on the body in comparison to the $$$ and notariaty received. A man that size and strength would fare better in the NFL, or somthing. Live a better life with more popularity and $$$.
