    says the guy with "Rugby" in his signature, a non-north-america sport that involves pad-less men squeezing each others nuts.. back in my high school, our Rugby team was comprised of the football players who didn't pass tryouts..

    Being an Aussie, we pretty much have a go at all sports, so funnily enough I've played soccer, tennis, gridiron, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Cricket, Gold, baseball.....

    And I stand by what Ive said.

    Soccer players are pretty skillful, but top athletes....no. Cricket and baseballers are in the same category.

    Golf....please....lets have bowling and snooker while we are at it.

    first of all, you're completely misreading/misinterpreting.

    It says "Top 5 FAVORITE Athletes"... not "Top 5 Athletes". Meaning, people aren't listing the people who are the most athletic in the world, period. That would be pretty damn hard to do.

    And second, though off topic from the thread, your argument seems to be that there are (or can be) less athletic people in games like baseball and soccer.. maybe that's true. But there can also be extremely athletic people in those sports. A guy like, say, Grady Sizemore, I'd like to say is pretty athletic. I don't think you can make claims that playing baseball eliminates guys from the "athletic" category
