People saying NFL would be easy are crazy.

I don’t think people are saying it’s easy, I think most people are saying it’s doable if you literally woke up and were the best in the world at a position.

Might be position dependent though, I could see it being “simpler” to demonstrate that you can lock down any receiver than it would be to demonstrate that you’re an unblock-able pass rusher.

I'd choose pool. Not much money in it, but anyone can compete. The best rise to the top.

Golf would definitely be the easiest. In 2025, I'd argue you could start a YouTube channel and end up getting a sponsor exemption to a PGA event without even having to play in any qualifiers.

It all boils down to how easy it is to prove your talent to the powers that be. That can vary by sport and position.

I don’t know what rules the MLB might have regarding players joining a team midseason out of nowhere, but if there aren’t any, I would be on a mound this year if I suddenly were the best pitcher in the world.

Like I said in my previous post, the sports world is very connected. Even if you had trouble connecting directly with an MLB team, there are thousands of high school coaches who know an MLB scout personally (or someone who does) that you can contact and would be willing to watch you throw for 30 minutes for a $5,000 donation to the program. They might find it odd to begin with but would do it and once you started bringing some Randy Johnson meets Greg Maddux shite he would make phone calls for you.

Distance running would probably be the easiest. Qualify for the Boston Marathon and then win it - instant best in the world.


And then you find yourself home in Ethiopia.

Golf, the one sport that appreciates talented Seniors and those Seniors still have fans.

I'm 43. NFL Qb's get paid so much these days. Yeah, give that money in a league that is quietly going back to more of running attack.
