So why do you support a sport knowing all the time men are wasting in training? If young men put more time in the library instead of the weightroom and other training they would have more successful lives.
Yet you help to fund something detrimental to those who play.
Being able to bench press or lift heavy weights. Is okay for weight lifters
In UK football the training is done with the ball. Fitness should be a gimme for any pro athlete
During a game every player will get the ball. Can the same be said for USA football?
I find it laughable the quarterbacks the stars of the game are never on the field at the same time.
Imagine real Madrid v Barcelona
Messi v Ronaldo top two players in the world but can't play against each other.

That is if all other things are equal. Same level of athlete, same level of coaching and such.
Once again ignorance is coming into play if you think otherwise.

What is better practising with the ball or wasting a hour pushing weights that will do you no good on the field?
Perhaps that's why you did not make it as a coach

Proper weight lifting increases speed and agility. Proper weight lifting decreases injury.
A faster, quicker more durable athlete will out perform a slower more injury prone athlete.

That proves nothing
The internet is full of idiot theory's
You would have been as well as doing a link to planet X and the end of the world.
Do you think professional athletes would waste time doing other things to make their games better?
