Sorry, you can count basketball out, too. One of the greatest coaches of all time, Arnold "Red" Auerbach, was the head coach of the legendary Boston Celtics where he won a record consecutive World Championships.
By the way, one of the greatest sportscasters of all time, Howard Cosell, was a Jew too.

Don't ever insist that you a have a right to privacy from government intrusion...the man who first advanced that theory at the Supreme Court was a Jew named Louis Brandeis.
Don't even attend any musical written by Rogers and Hammerstein. Hammerstein was a Jew.; In fact, better not go to Broadway at all: You might accidentally see a play by Neil Simon, Arthur Miller, or David Mamet.. all Jews.
Maybe you should leave the USA altogether because a very good friend of George Washington was a man by the name of Chaim Solomon, of Rhode Island. Mr. Solomon in no small way helped to finance the American Revolution ...; and you guessed it; Chaim Solomon was Jewish!
Don't ever read the psalms from the Bible...many were written by a Jewish King named David.

Don't watch or play tennis. Pete Sampras, the World's greatest tennis player, is a Greek Jew; Boris Becker, 3-time Wimbledon champ (1985-86,89) is a Jew, too.
I hope you hate to laugh:; Adam Sandler, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, Jerry Lewis, Rodney Dangerfield, Jackie Mason, Carl Reiner, Jerry Stiller, George Burns, Freddie Prinze, Alan King, Jon Lovitz, Howie Mandel, Richard Lewis, Jack Benny and Don Rickles are all Jewish. These are just a handful...there are many more lesser known Jews who have contributed to the benefit of mankind.
BUT Lastly; if you still hate Jews, please consider this: You probably should not ever be a part of any Christian church...Rumor has it that Jesus Christ was a Jewish Rabbi. In fact, "The Last Supper" was very likely a celebration of the Jewish Passover Seder ritual meal.
