Warren Sapp can’t run far enough or fast enough to even CATCH a member of Spain’s soccer team.
You’re sadly mistaken, with a 4.69 40-yard dash speed, any Spanish fly within 10 yards of him would end up looking like a junebug on the windshield of a Kenworth..........
But can he keep it up for a solid ninety minutes. He would be sucking on an industrial size asthma inhaler after 5 minutes. They are two different sports requiring two different skill sets/ it would be like comparing basketball to baseball. The only difference is when they call it the “World Cup” it really is the entire world, not just some American teams calling it the “World Series”.
I always wondered what would happen if we took our best professional athletes from football, baseball, basketball, gave them the best soccer coaches, and gave them six months to learn the game and develop their skills, how they would fare.
I know that Kobe Bryant is a huge soccer fan, and actually does have some talent at playing soccer. If he chose soccer as a career I definitely think he could have been one of the best players in the world.
Of course not but that wasn't the point of my answer to the diss on Sapp.
If you wish to turn it into the absurd, then how many of the Spanish flies do you think it would take to block Mr. Sapp?
But back to reality, how many of the Spanish flies do you think can run a 40 yd. dash in 4.69 seconds with full football gear?
I’m for everything Team USA...
But some of these comments about soccer’s popularity blah blah blah...the best athletes in the world play American football, not soccer or if we must call it by it’s proper name....kommunist kickball.
Honestly, in America, not the second tier, but third tier athletes play soccer as opposed to football, basketball and baseball. So, that’s why we lag the world in soccer as a rule.
