If I’m the best at my position then 1000% basketball.

I’d be MAGA as frick in every reporters face fighting back against all the social justice BS and the most popular player in the league.

Not being some marginal role player the league and owners couldn’t just silence you like they would to whoever the best American born white guy in the league is now.

You’ve clearly never watched Tiger Woods play if you think he’s not athletic.

Absolutely golf. You would make a huge fortune and spend your days and nights in beautiful locations where it has to be at least warm. Probably never have to pay for a meal. Long-term career. Permission to fish in any golf pond!

I put out this question a couple years ago and got the same responses. My question also stated, "you would be the unquestionable greatest player ever." My ego wants to say basketball, because that would mean "unquestionably better than Michael Jordan, etc. but golfs long term playing and lifestyle....gotta go there. Unquestionably better than Jack, Arnold, and Tiger would look good on my resume.

do you really think Kevin Love is silenced, or is it that no white American player even gets to the NBA without a healthy respect for African Americans and what they’ve been through

It depends on what you’re looking for in life. Jimmy Walker is worth 16 million dollars. He has 6 victories on the PGA Tour, including the PGA Championship. He could walk into a restaurant and not have to worry about being bothered for pictures or autographs (for the most part). That’s a pretty sweet life if you don’t count your wife sleeping with Dustin Johnson.

What they’ve been through? 90% of those guys have been coddled since middle school.

To your other point 1000% yes I think they would be silenced if they wanted “Trump 2020” on their jersey, because none of them move the needle enough to force their voice to be heard. They fall in line to keep their jobs

I'll add another one for golf. I was in college when I realized my easy answer to this hypothetical even if it just meant being an average player. I was working the New Orleans PGA tournament following a specific group each day. I followed Tommy Armour III. His dad is way more famous than him, I have no idea what he was making, but his life still seemed great. He didn't have a huge following on the course. So, each hole he would hit his shot, then walk along the ropes with his wife just on the outside. That seemed awesome to me. This guy was about to make some money (he had already made the cut) playing golf strolling along with his wife. I know golfers have to work extremely hard to make money, but this seemed like such an enjoyable way to live your life.

I'd be a starting pitcher like a Verlander or Scherzer. More money than I'd ever need and beloved in my city but not some big global celebrity like a Brady or LeBron. I don't need that shite. Famous enough to open doors but not so famous people are following you around everywhere.

Get poon all over the country till my mid 30s and then marry a younger swimsuit model with a massive rack? sounds good to me.

I don't want to put words in your mouth but are you saying a person can't disagree with this "movement" and still have respect for AA's?

I would like to be like Craig Biggio. I’d play baseball for 20 years. Play inside a dome for at least 81 games. Live in Houston in a high rise condominium or a gated community. Have a hot wife and two boys to teach the game with. Position: RF or SS.

You’ll also have to be in top tier shape. Can’t play as long and will have at least some sports related injuries/surgeries. Meanwhile golf is the opposite of all of that. So golf for me.
