http://www.denverpost.com/2011/10/26/rapids-marvell-wynne-speedy-like-his-dad-but-baseball-was-way-too-slow/
Marvell Wynne bears the same name as his father, who played eight seasons in the National League as a speedy outfielder and leadoff man, but the Rapids center back failed to inherit his father’s interest in baseball. Wynne had the same problem with baseball a lot of soccer fans do.
“It was just way too slow,” Wynne said. “I was way too energetic, so I just stuck to soccer.”
Wynne in his senior year of high school ran a 100 Meters in a 10.39 seconds

Slow game=/=unathletic game.
I'm actually bored watching yet ANOTHER goal sport. Already got basketball, football, and sometimes hockey for that.
Baseball is a nice contrast. Goal sports are redundant.
And :lol posting sprint times of soccer players.
So what?
Something interesting is that the two have 100m track times that they ran in college: Bo – 10.39 and Deion – 10.21.
"Boom" indeed.

Wrong on Bo. Baseball was his FIRST sport. He would join the Raiders only after baseball season ended http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JackBo00.htm .
My first love is baseball, and it has always been a dream of mine to be a major league player. My goal now is to be the best baseball player Bo Jackson can be.”
http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/bo-jackson-chose-baseball-1986-nfl-mlb-kansas-city-royals-tampa-bay-buccaneers-062116
Deion was the reverse. He would leave his baseball team early to join his football team.
But they were both baseball players.
And :lol implying cheating men don't treat their mistresses better (and are more attracted to) than their wives.

He only played 180 games over that span, and was terrible to the point the Royals cut him. No hips=no playing baseball at an elite level.
Dumb spin. An NBA big could play through Jackson's injury for maybe a season or two.
Football is also obviously the most demanding sport with regard to explosiveness. A minor NBA injury is a major NFL injury. Running backs have the shortest careers of all NFL players. That position kills players. (probably won't as much now in the Goodellball era).

You're really going to compare medicine tech of the late 90s to that of today?
If Jackson were playing today, that period immediately following his injury is when modern medicine could have possibly prolonged his career. Not even necessarily by wiping out the AVN or by catching it early, but by ensuring it never happened in the first place.
Prevention is the first line of defense here. MRIs and angiographs—injections of dye into the vessels followed by X-rays that visualize flow patterns—can demonstrate damage to vital blood vessels before extensive cell death occurs. The last 20 years has seen great strides in imaging quality, allowing analysis of fine structural integrity, and we know about the best timing, types, and views to implement for specific injuries. Immediate X-rays, CTs, and MRIs are necessary for visualizing dislocations or bleeding into the joint, but aren't effective in visualizing AVN until four or six weeks post-injury.3
Still don't get your point with this? Post-injury, Jackson only played a season's worth of MLB games and was a 0.5 WAR player. Keep in mind he also took two years off after playing only 23 games with the White Sox.
Boiled down: The injury ended both his baseball and football careers. Bo was out of baseball at 31. A prime age.
