Yeah, because I'm totally being serious in all of this.
my b dude, I grew up in high school with kids who genuinely thought like that and have noticed it as an attitude on this board. Soccer is more of a contact sport than football, Landon Donovan is an elite athlete, Kobi jones > Adrian Peterson, etc.

No worries. I'm not like that at all.

You do realize that Landon Donovan is essentially Wes Welker without steroids, right?

You can't hang out in the cool crowd with that attitude.

It's about context. His physical attributes translate extremely well to what he does on the field. He's very, very quick. He's not a freak show of an all-around athlete, but for what he does, you could consider him very athletic.
Same with Lionel Messi. I wouldn't consider him to be a great all-around athlete, but for soccer, he is certainly an elite athlete.

I want to come back to this.
No one on here is going to agree with one or three of that statement (contact and Cobi Jones), or at least I don't think. Saying that LD is an elite athlete depends on your definition of elite, really.
So, yeah, I guess I'm not like the guys from your HS, but I would say that 90% of the people on here aren't, either.
