The Tour comes to a close

On sports shows, like PTI, they always talk about how Americans need to start winning their sports. Well Americans are the only ones that play "American Football", yes even NFL Europe and the CFL is filled with Americans trying to get into the NFL. So we do dominate that sport.
Baseball, ok not that I pay baseball any kind of attention, seems like it has been leaning on "foreign" players for quite some time now, so yes while it "began" here it isn't "ours". It is basically stolen from Cricket (but don't quote me on that).
Then there is basketball. It was thought up right here in America and I don't believe it was a spawn of any other existing sport. But take a look at the teams starting 5. Some teams are strictly foreign born players, and all but 1 maybe 2 teams has at least 2 foreign born players on their team. So no it is not a shock to me that USA losses at the Olympics in this sport.
But I do love it when an American wins the Tour de France. All of Europe rejoiced when Lance retired, finally Ivan or Ullrich had their chance to win it... that was until they got caught doping. So with the best of the last SEVEN years retired and the next best out for doping that left this tour wide open to see whose the "best". And when all the watches stopped keeping time, low and behold an American was right there at the top of the field. Floyd Landis has officially made it 8 years straight that an American goes home with the Yellow Jersey!
