I love this country.
Don't forget to watch the World Baseball Classic qualifiers in Regensburg. Team Germany plays the winner of today's Team Great Britain vs Team France game tomorrow.

why do Americans think that the inclusion of numbers makes an argument weightier? I see it all the time. As if that fat frick in OP simply has to be an athlete, because square footage, because distance.
If the lad can't go for a jog without needing a burrito for sustenance he's not an athlete pal
A fat frick defensive tackle that can run over normal human beings is an athlete just as much as a fat frick relief pitcher that can make professional batters swing and miss with a 101 mph fastball is
Being the best in the world at training your body to compete against your opponents is athletic

no. You're confusing athletics with sports. Baseball is a sport, not an athletic discipline. 100m sprint is an athletic discipline, as is discus and hammer throw. A big chunky c**t who trains throwing the hammer might indeed be fat as frick, but they are an athlete because they partake in athletics.
Fat c**t baseball throwers or gridiron colliders are just sportsmen. That's not an insult though, just the way it is. It also means if they weren't fat c**ts then they still would only be sportsmen, unless they moved from sports to athletics, so don't worry about it big guy

lmao you really have missed the point there, haven't you?
Let me make it easier for you to understand. It is indeed a fact that the pitcher in baseball stands in a 3.5 square foot area. But that has NO RELEVANCE to the matter at hand. Furthermore, you only think it does have relevance because you have been trained to not know what things are.
For example, you have confused an irrelevant fact with something of import. And the reason for that is because you can phrase this irrelevant fact in a number form, and your corn syrup addled brain has told you that makes it mean something, thanks to a lifetime of sportscenter and corn syrup

That's referring to the approximate area of where a pitcher has to throw to in order for a pitch to potentially be effective. It must be pretty embarrassing to make a post making fun of someone for missing the point when you were the one who actually missed the point.

"Numbers are facts!" - said only the statistician trying to swindle money from whoever would listen.
This country is completely numerically illiterate, which is why so many people - especially the least numerically literate, like sports fans in general - are obsessed with attaching a stat to everything. It is not because they are attempting to back up their claims with "facts", but because their complete misunderstanding and inability to interpret numerical or mathematical information allows it to act as a form of magic, creating an illusion of authority to anything they are cast upon.
Literally and sincerely, to most Americans mathematics is that science which is sufficiently advanced as to be inseparable from magic.
t. an actual mathematician
As example: it is not anymore athletic for a fatass to stand in one spot throwing balls quickly and accurate for several hours than it is for a skinny-fat skele-asian kid to sit on a computer clicking heads with 95% accuracy in an FPS for 20 hours a day, this is not what athleticism means, you are confusing hand-eye coordination with being athletic

>t. actual moron
it takes strength to throw a ball like that you nonce. it's not just about coordination
honest question, with all of that weight in the center of your body, does it help generate extra torque in your throw? Like how a heavier car will be faster on a downslope. Is it a tactical advantage to be obese in this case?
Probably not as helpful as being 6'6'', but mass in the gut would also indicate that you've got mass in the arm, which he uses to fashion a missile launcher.

Pic is an all star athlete and an Amerifriend national hero.

baseball caps used to be very sovlful I see, why are they so moronic now?
They have to make the cap ridged so their brand is always noticeable.

that man can throw a 1,3 lbs ball at 147 yards with a speed of 47 feet by american seconds pardner
CC was a very good pitcher. OP is a gay as always
The weight is legitimately good for throwing heat.
CC is athletic, this is him after he retired and didn't need to keep on weight lol.

it might just be roid gut

They identify with them
Is an tosser a athlete?

>the absolute state of amerifats
grim
>mexican athletes
nah this is a pitchers thread now. OP is based for making a non-soccer thread
