Is the South the only reason why the US is relevant in sports?

Is the South the only reason why the US is relevant in sports?

Texas and Oklahoma are not southern.

They were settled as the Southern part of the West

The only non-southern things about them are the big Mexican (in TX) and native american (in OK) population but even they are culturally southern

Sure, if your taking about the NBA

Western part of the South*

add new england states

That doesn't make them southern. They are distinctly western. I don't know how dumb you have to be to argue against that, but then again nothing surprises me anymore on Sup Forums.

There are very few definitions of the West that actually include TX and OK though.

Texas and Oklahoma are not southern nor are they part of the south.

Fuck off

Is this the area with the least amount of minorities?

Have you ever been to either state?

I'm from Kansas and have been to OK, Texas, and all over the actual south. There are no similarities between OK and the actual southern states. OK isn't even close to southern culturally. Fucking Wyoming is more southern than Oklahoma.


Texas is its own fucking region, it's too big and too diverse to be called southern.

lol

Both states serve sweet tea and both have a ton of waffle houses.

everyone drinks sweet tea now, that isn't a good measurement

Texas is the "sometimes Y" of the south. It's considered to be in the southern region, it fought for the Confederacy, and it was mostly settled by southerners. It has a culture unique unto itself but that culture is an offshoot of southern culture.

Oklahoma is really not the south but honeslty it fits right in.

If I remember correctly California and texas produce most of the the athletes

Georgia produces the best football players.

Texas and Oklahoma are part of the South, they just aren't the Deep South.

Do Mexicans influence California or Texas more?

Florida isn't Southern

Considering how 80% of all relevant american sportsmen are black and South has the blackest states I would say yes.

Is Virginia even Southern nowadays? NoVa looks and feels like a less cultured New Jersey

very much not

...

CHI

Is marching to the sea a sport?

things never said

Is the south relevant?

Oklahoma is midwest and Texas is our own thing

I can see Oklahoma not being southern, but Texas is.
>similar people
>has many of the same political views
>was a confederate state
>it's geographic location is south, bordering Mexico

California Mexicans have their own slang, culture, and food. Texas Mexicans mostly sound like Southern white people and eat Tex-Mex.

*Alabama

Are the Patriots from the south?

the very best sport

but I'm also enjoying this new confederate statue removal sport as well.

>Oklahoma is midwest
Hardly, considering Missouri is south, Oklahoma is most defiantly south. Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, those are Midwestern states. The original Big 10 schools is a good starting template for what states are Midwest

No, the patriots have always been from the north

the traitors come from the south.

>corn belt
>not baseball
>rust belt
>not hockey

You've got a bad map, user.

Also new england should probably be baseball

Honestly, New England could go for any of the four major sports in the US...

In that they brought hundreds of thousands of blacks to the US and bred them for physical ability? If that's your argument, yes. Otherwise no.

Do it again Uncle Billy

OP here. Wrong pic sorry guys

Dixie land?

More like Loser Land.
