The best players of what in the world. Didn't know that the Maori made up the majority of professional athletes in the world. Which sport do they dominate, other that the native version of football? I am not saying there aren't good Maori athletes, but there is a difference between opinion and documented fact. Does a Maori hold the fastest 40 time? Is a Maori the fastest or strongest person in the world? How many Maori start in professional football, basketball, baseball, soccer? Help me out here. I will gladly give you the title if you can provide evidence.

However, last time I checked, the largest contributor to at least American football is the great state of Texas. The largest contributor to professional baseball is Central America. I don't know about soccer, but I am guessing Central America or Europe. The fastest man in an American. The strongest man is from Europe (depending on how recent the last "World's Strongest Man" competition I watched was). The world's best golfer is American, as were the last several legends in the game. Australia's best golfer is better known for his chokes than his wins. The world's best basketball player lives in San Antonio. The holder of the most home runs in a season is American, so is the career homerun leader.

Did I miss a major sport? Last time I checked, US Pro teams weren't flying to NZ to scout for the upcoming season.

Like I said, national pride is a wonderful thing, but it is opinion until you have facts to back it up.
