They might do it alot.
What mistake have you pointed out that I keep making?
Edit:
What is an “overeducated person.”
I have never heard this term.
Almost all D1 schools (the path to NBA and NFL) also offer full ride collegiate scholarships for baseball too. It doens’t have the following that basketball and football have, but the opportunities exist in similar quantities.
You’re making a lot of logical leaps that don’t really hold water under close scrutiny.
Actually,
I really don’t think you have “scrutinised” much of what I have said, neither have I made many “logical leaps.”
As with my posts throughout this thread, I’m talking simple common sense.
College football is one of the biggest industries in America. Yet like with your other responses, you acknowledge that for all of half a second before moving on.
If any American had the choice of a college football career followed a pro career in the NFL vs a similar journey in baseball or the NHL.
Football would be chosen. You know it and I know it. Again, simple common sense statements on my behalf.
You made another logical leap here (in the form of a gross genealization). If someone had a choice between football and other sports with a guaranteed path from college to the pro levels (which is what you have assumed in your above post), not all of them would chose football. Some of them may choose baseball/hockety etc… for the simple fact they like that game better (let’s assume they are equally talented at both sports).
Alot… You make that mistake a lot.
Funny how you assumed I was talking about you.
An overeducated person would have.
Another point:
My contention is that at the group level, blacks are inherently more athletic than other races.
I illustrate this by showing their domination of the most athletically demanding sports in America - NFL and NBA.
You argue against this by bringing up baseball and NHL.
Baseball and NHL are not as athletically demanding as either basketball or football.
Every post you make is directed to me.
The only reference you have made is not putting a full stop after ‘etc.’
My defence would be, again:
This is just a spurious argument, which doesn’t correlate with my IQ claims.
When I write text messages on my phone, I never capitalise words. Just personal preference. I don’t do this in a professional setting.
Regarding this app, I am typing at a quick pace. Minor mistakes I may make are of little consequence to me.
Unlucky, again.
Finally some truth.
God damn we really need to convince you then.
At least the incel part will keep your inferior genes from continuing.
Seriously?
Have you tried to play hockey before? 60 grueling minutes at fast pace on skates compared to a total of about 12 minutes of actual play time in a football game?
Even ESPN, who has huge stake in the success of football over hockey ranks Ice Hockey as tougher

Baseball is more technically demanding than physically demanding, true, but technique is still athleticism (i.e. martial arts).

Yes, seriously.
What are the main constituents of athleticism?
- strength
- speed
- coordination
- agility
If the best NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB players were each tasked with the same tests in each of these areas, the NBA and NFL players would dominate.
Just another, simple common sense argument from me again. Probably the 100th I’ve made in this thread.
Again, you are presenting opinion as fact. There is no gaurantee that any single sport would “dominate” if you changed the methodology.
Also, all those sports take the constituents you mention but at the pro levels is so specialized that you are not comparing apples to apples.
How can you accurately measure speed of a NHL player vs NFL player. One is fast on skates and one is fast on grass. On grass the NFL payer wins, on ice, the NHL player.
In a coordination test, I would posit that MLB and NHL players would win. You’re telling me an O-lineman has more coordination that anyone on a hockey line? I doubt it. And since neither of us can provide objective evidence to our respective positions, each one is equally (in)valid.
Tom Brady…
You would think that…
As if “Tom Brady” proves my entire argument wrong. LOL.
You haven’t proved it right. Just like everything else you posted.
How about a concrete example then?
Taking your line, Michael Jordan should have been more athletic than anyone in the MLB. However, when he went to play pro baseball (a game largely of coordination and reaction times), he was absolutely terrible.
By your logic, he should have been an All-Star player.
“Accurately measure speed of a NFL player and an NHL player.”
You put them both on a running track. Neither sport is played on one. I know your response btw, it doesn’t negate this simple point.
Again, I look at objective reality, and make sane, common sense deductions.
I appreciate the nature of these forums are that members simply permanently disagree unless it is a circle jerk of omg look it’s a racist let’s get him.
I think that you likely do agree with my posts on this and just don’t want to say so. Yes, that is my opinion too. But not exactly an outlandish one to hold.
A spurious example.
Jordan lacked the skill to play MLB at a similar level as NBA.
He did not lack the athleticism.
Yes, but football is based on running and hockey is based on skating as measures of speed - so of course the NFL player wins here. It’s still a flaw in the methodology.
You would be wrong.
