An antisemitic troll once asked me "why are Jews so bad at sports?" I said it's because sports are a Jewish conspiracy to occupy the most physically capable gentiles while we take over the world. Every so often, an antisemite finds this joke and thinks it's real and it is glorious:

White nationalist Stew Peters tweets clip of me joking, in response to an antisemitic troll that claimed Jews are unathletic, that sports are a Jewish plot "to divert the energy of the gentile while we take over the systems of power."

"Jews are bad at sports" Imagine being brain dead enough to think Benny Leonard and Barney Ross couldn't fight.

Ironically, your joke will fuel more anti-Semites than it'll induce laughter. That is scary.

Have they considered that they're being lulled into a false sense of athletic superiority while final preparations are being made to deploy a second Sandy Koufax

Add to that the fact that one can do a quick Wikipedia search and immediately figure out that the stereotype is untrue. There are many superb Jewish athletes in Major League Baseball alone.

I like you Yair but this is like bragging you fooled your two-year-old nephew into thinking you took his nose
