Seems more like its too complicated for you since you didnt get that the sheriff is a hypocrite and Colby Covington is just a troll.

In short, if police officers like the LA Sheriff want to run off at the mouth, he needs to back it up and compensate all the victims of police brutality and police misconduct personally since he is asking Lebron to do it for sheriffs, which by the way is a flawed argument since Lebron has never advocated for violence against police or anything like that.

Thanks for confirming your confusion...it really wasn't necessary though.

Most MLB players could be taught rather easily to get around on ice skates.


Most NHL, NFL and NBA players could never make solid contact on a 91 mph slider.

Silly comparison.

NHL players don't merely "get around on ice skates". They skate at high speed, complete intricate direction changes while under intense physical contact and while controlling/passing/receiving a puck travelling at speed often faster than the average fastball.

Most MLB players could never do it. Many NHL players given their outstanding athleticism and hand eye co-ordination could be taught to hit a fast slider.

This is the dumbest argument of all time. The idea that "hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports" was posited by Ted Williams...who of course, hit baseballs.

There is a difference between "getting around on skates" and being able to skate at the level of an NHL player.

Just like there is a difference between hitting a 50 mile an hour lob and hitting a 91 mph slider.

Everything at the highest level is extremely hard.

But I'd much rather like my odds of making contact against a MLB pitcher given enough swings than I would say, trying to do a 3 and a half pike position off of a 3 meter springboard or running a 3:50 mile.

You can be a tremendous professional athlete and not be able to constantly hit a baseball at the level of MLB players. That is just reality.

LOL, Would love to hear about your sports background to make a foolish comment like that. Ice Hockey by far requires the most athleticism of all the team sports there is.
Also most NFL and NBA players would do quit well in Baseball and played Baseball in HS. The reason why they choose Football and Basketball in most cases is for the full-ride scholarship money, which does not exist in Baseball.

Silly retort.


I never said NHL players 'merely get around on skates.'
