[quote=Russell]The miler is more looked at like a geek, simply because he is skinny and not fat enough to be on the football team. The fastest miler would probably beat a lot of his football playing classmates in the decathlon and the soccer players certainly would.

Russell: Also, that was probably true when you were in HS, or I was in HS, but not anymore. The “plumping” you refer to isn’t evident at the youth football level (where kids have to conform to weight limits) and the off-season workout programs are extremely demanding. My son, who is an offensive and defensive lineman, participates in the Prodigy program, which stresses not only wind endurance, but footwork, agility and “burst” speed. Football has grown ever faster and more complex and the kids playing it successfully now are specimens.

So, yeah, soccer is clearly superior to ALL American sports, and one clearly needs to be a sophisticated bon vivant to appreciate it. You know, as opposed to a stupid, racist, corrupt and fat American.[/quote]
Who said anything about stupid, racist and corrupt?
