Once again, Im talking about sheer athleticism. I think you guys have trouble reading or something. Id be willing to bet lots of money that 50% of all 31 year olds on Chiefsplanet are more athletic than Billy freaking Butler. In fact, theres literature out there that hes the slowest runner un MLB from home plate to 1B. Go film a video of yourself running to first, you will be faster than Billy Butler. Being athletic = quickness, vertical leap, change of direction/agility, NATURAL strength. Thats it.

Not trying to be mean but your made up criteria is far too narrow and is honestly just pretty ignorant.

Peters chart when used appropriately, in the right context can make you rich. It's a low risk way to make "risky" investments and is best utilized in bear markets.

Billy Ripkin crying about the ASG balloting on MLB Network. Says maybe you could make an argument for 3 Royals starters (Sal, Esky, Kendrys) or even none starting.

It is not. Is being good at Call of Duty or Counterstrike being athletic? Of course not.

I played golf in colleg, Division 2. Requires almost no athleticism albeit some. The kid on our team that hit the ball the furthest was the biggest dork alive. Couldnt get net on a basketball hoop, was the slowest kid in the team. The best athlete on the team also had a scholly to play football in college as well, he was just pretty short. He only hit 240. While I think athleticism does translate to hitting a golf ball further, you can see that it doesnt always matter
