You are correct there are far more Jewish doctors and lawyers than there are star atheletes. But it does not mean that you have to come to this forum to show off your ignorance.
Major League Baseball have given us a number of jewish stars from pitchers Sandy Koufax to Steve Stone.
Today two of the top five batters in the American League are Jews: Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox and Kinsler of Texas.
In the National league last year`s rookie of the year Ryan Braun of Milwaukee is now third in the league in home runs.
All three participated in this years All-Star game. Not bad!
As for Israeli atheletes, they are pretty good at basketball, but show little temperament and star quality when it comes to Olympic Sports.
Though the U.S. has produced many star Olympic atheletes from Mark Spitz to Figure Skaters Gold medal winner: Sarah Hughes, American swimmer Tifanny Cohen, 2 gold medals 1984, American swimmer, Lenny Krayzelburg who won three gold medals in 2000.
