No, I don't equate walking 300+lbs to the oxygen tank in between plays the same as jogging to another part of the field to play your position.

Sorry.



sorry, yes, your view of it is sorry!

how about a running back?
Receiver?

funny how you dont address the rest of it defending what everyone else knows is an embellishment of your sport.

Yes. I'd much prefer we stick with sports where poor kids everywhere can grow up to become rich criminals.

Let's discuss these other "sports".

Football: 90% of the team is morbidly obese. The game is not being played more than it is being played. Which accounts for the fatassedness.
Baseball: 90% of the team does nothing for most of the game but watch. Thrilling!
Basketball: I don't even watch this lunacy, so I can't even comment. But they're all criminals. Don't ask me how a single dunk ever makes it on Sportcenter as a "highlight". You're 12 feet tall. It's about as impressive as me dunking a crumpled up paper towel at the trash can.
Hockey: The players can't play for more than 2 minutes, or they become "gassed" and therefore, 90% ineffective.

Yeah. You're right. Let's stick with what makes America proud. Laziness.



That's the dumbest, most flawed post I've read the entire day so far. Y U TROLLING BRO?

That's why I said 90% of the team.

Running backs are only on the field when their offense is on the field, and not for all the plays.

Receivers are only on the field when their offense is on the field, and not for all the plays.

Because they're SO lazy, not only do they rotate offense and defense, they rotate players as well.

One thing you know about your soccer team on any given day, that at LEAST 8 of the 11 guys you send out, will play the entire game.

Unfortunately, with no access to oxygen machines.

So you're sticking to the 90% number, even though generally speaking only offensive linemen are the fattest people on the field? Interesting...how you refuse to admit being wrong.

i'll even let you count a slow jog as active too!

No standing at all, unless it's a dead ball situation or a substitution.

Walking, usually only done by forwards (1-2 guys) or central defenders (2 guys) and that's after sprinting after the ball for one reason or another.

A soccer player can run anywhere from 6-8 miles during a 90 minute game.

The most movement a football player does is getting on and off the field. Again, why most of them are classed "morbidly obese".

well we all know that number is just idiotic.

47 of 53 players on the roster are morbidly obese right??

most teams have 5 receivers minimum...can you think of any morbidly obese receivers?
how about starting QB's...can you think of any?

so that's the 6 non morbidly obese players...without backup QB, kicker, punter, DB's, RB's, LB's.

i'll just go with TUG is being a poor troll, because i really dont want to think he is really that stupid.
