How do African Players Get Away With Lying About Their Ages???

[lakersfan2046]

Your sample size being you and your grandad who knew his by the rain drops.

Are you dense? My sample size is everyone of my generation. I went to school there until I was in my early teens. Birth certificates are a requirement for school registration. Then, my father's generation. I know both my parents and everyone in my large extended family know their exact birthday and we celebrate them. Then my 4 grandparents and the folk stories they told me growing up.

Better than I have been to Africa once. I bet you you have never set foot in Africa. Tell me where in Africa you went and we can test your knowledge.

Actually, when a player "lie" aobut his age, he will have an advantage over people who have the same age as him but said advantage will go away when those young kids get to his real age. This doesn't happen with Ethipian and Kenyans.

Aka, they aren't lieing about anything.

Your trolling is impeccable but you're terribly misinformed. All the time both Ethiopians and Kenyans lie about their ages in order to compete as juniors and at university level and even in high school. They set american high school records and junior world records and then move on to the professional level. Here are a few examples
Haile Gebreselassie
Isiah Koech
Imane Merga
Solomon Haile
Eliud Kipchoge
Thomas Loriongosiwa. Loriongosiwa was arrested for falsifying his age as was Dennis Kipkirui Keter and John Yego who were both World Junior champions in the steeple chase , and the 800/1500m respectively. Nice try buddy.

I went to Madagascar for some filming I did... as well as a few other places.

I have never been to Madagascar so I cannot comment on that. However, I seriously doubt that people in Madagascar do not know when they were born.

Let me guess, you went there for some filming, you found a few people that fit your narrative and you spoke with them and all of a sudden you became a specialist on all matters African. LOL

Your story is bullshit. Even people who grew up in slums know their exact age because hospitals record that shit. I seriously do not know anyone who was birthed at home by a midwife. I call bullshit on your story. Moving on now

We aren't talking about the posh part of Africa where you obviously from.

I met Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman who all had simila stories.

Even if that might be true. And it's not as you are overblowing it, it has nothing to do with what OP was talking about as those guys still dominates everyone.

And bitch please, drop the "u trolling" defense. It looks silly when none of my comments insofar are susceptible of stirring up troubles and passion from other users.

Many times.

was waiting for the proof when I realized that it just wasn't coming.


laugh it off, go ahead,

both of us....and all of ish...know that you have no idea what you're talking about


and to paraphrase a classic line from a sports film

"DON'T worry, I've shut down much smarter racists than you"
