Relevance of Muscular Liberalism link?

[edit]

The "See Also" section links to both Muscular Christianity and Muscular Liberalism. Is the latter relevant? "Muscular Judaism" and "Muscular Christianity" appear to be analagous concepts - the idea that religious observance and identity should be combined with athleticism. "Muscular Liberalism" looks like a completely different concept, and "muscular" only in a metaphorical sense. Iapetus (talk) 21:55, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish athletes in Europe

[edit]

The source is wrong in it statement: "European Jewish leaders heeded Nordau's philosophy. Between 1896 and 1936, Jewish athletes won many more medals for Austria at the Olympics than Austrian Jews their proportion of the total Austrian population". Jews really made up about 9-12% of the population of Austria until 1936 according to 1934 census, see Austrian Jews, and Jewish athletes won 8 medals for their country from 1896 to 1936 inclusive according to biographies of each of Austrian sportsmans who recieve medal for countrie Austria at the Olympics. This logical fallacy. This parth should be removed from article. 31.40.131.100 (talk) 16:33, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
