Re: [RC] Horses!!! stop with the height - heidi

As far as human athletics go, this is an old wive's tale or propaganda
pushed by the short persons society of america.

Well, no, actually there is quite a bit of science behind it.

As for your two examples--first of all, it isn't a black-and-white
elimination, it is a trend.  Secondly, in neither case are you talking
about long-duration concussive sports.  Basketball is concussive, but not
of long duration.  Bicycling is of long duration but is not concussive. 
Check out the marathon runners...
