Why do other countries say America sucks at sports?

[sghockeychika4]

I've actually heard comments from people stating America sucks at sports. But why?

We created American Football, Baseball, Softball, Volleyball, Ten Pin Bowling, Kart Racing, Snowboarding, Paintball, Racquetball, Cheerleading, Windsurfing, Water Skiing, and Skeet Shooting.

In the Olympics we’ve done pretty darn well.

Because, they're either jealous. Or they just don't like us Americans, or appreciate us. I think its both. But, you have to admit, we're pretty awesome at sports .
