Which major sport has the dumbest athletes?

Way to prove your point...Soccer Fan.

Brahahahahaha!! You got me there.

I'd be willing to be that the NFL has a greater PCT of athletes that are college graduates than any other pro-sports league.

Sure a college education isn't the last word on intelligence, but it's a better indicator than anything mentioned by anyone else in this thread so far.

Yeah but you know how that goes...

Any time a football player has a decent GPA majoring in anything but General Studies, the commentators devote on-air time to it during the game.

Mr. Generalizer!! You can point to isolated events in every sport. Logical people understand we were talking as a whole. You must play every sport but soccer.

Yeah pretty much. I stopped playing Hungry Hungry Hippos and Trouble and other child's games around the same time I stopped playing soccer.

Yeah but...you pretty much have to go to at least a year of college to play in the NFL. It's virtually unheard of for an NFL player to not have any college...the only one I can think of in my lifetime is Eric Swann.

A year of college as a virtual requirement is only recently true of NBA players, and it's still not true of International Basketball players. It's not true at all of Hockey and Baseball players...


We can debate intelligence all we want, but I don't think there's any doubt the NFL guys generally have the highest level of education of any athletes in any Major Pro Sports League in the world.

They made you play goalie, huh.

I'd say soccer. At least in Argentina, soccer players are pretty dumb (you only need to listen to Maradona talk for 30 seconds for further proof).

And their fans are stupid too. I agree with whottt. You only need to go to a soccer game to see the stupid acts committed by soccer fans.

So embarassing for Semin.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Soccer fans in general are pretty ing dumb, that I won't argue. That being said, its pretty laughable how people in here who have no ing clue about the actual sport and what it takes to play professionally love to run their mouths about it being simple

My advice would be to educate yourselves about before you go and criticize it.

hockey players for turning their backs to go get a dump in

Crosby is turning into a punk . First the reacharound in ATL and now this...

Nothing wrong with sending a message or trying to fire up your teammates, but for the love of ___ at least do it the right way.
