Do hockey players have any of the athleticism used in other sports?
Take football, a 350lb defensive tackle must wear 40lbs of gear whilst charging through a line of five to six 400lb guys wearing 40lbs of gear in order to jump on & crush a 200lb running back wearing 30lbs of gear AND carrying a football-the object of which is to take said football & place it over a "goal" line, whereupon the team placing said football gets 6 points. It lasts all of 3 seconds, then they get a :40 second break.
Or baseball-that requires a man, wearing a large "glove", made of cowhide & about 40% bigger than his hand to attempt to throw the baseball at a very rapid pace towards another guy with an even bigger glove, who tries to catch it. In between, is another man, this one holding a large round stick-called a baseball bat-doing what physics has proven to be an improbility-if not impossibility-that is to hit the round ball with the round bat past the guy that originally threw it & his 7 other commrades in the field of play or better yet-hit the round ball with the round bat over a fence, usually placed between 375' & 450' away. It's a truly amazing thing to behold.
makes it sound pretty damned stupid. 'eh?
