E.) They prefer to watch sports that don't have built-in commercial breaks every five freaking minutes.

Tell ya what...Let's put the best of the NFL vs. the best soccer players in the world, and compete in Olympic style events.
Who do you think would have the best athletes?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Depends on the event. I doubt NFL would do very well at middle or long distance running - too big. Some would be awesome sprinters.
The shooting events would be pwned by some of the NFL guys.Soccer players would undoubtedly do well at the women's gymnastics.I'm no expert, but...

Categorically, they'd lose to soccer players.

Education is extremely important.

There was once an effort, probably for a TV show, to pit pro athletes from major sports against each other in feats of general athleticism. On average, hockey players did the best. But I don’t remember the details.
In any kind of general sporting contest, my money's on decathletes.

OK, how about we strand them all on a desert island without any assistance, and see who survives the longest?
Let's be honest, it would be a lot more interesting than either sport.

Dodecathletes are 20% better.

Centurions would kick their asses.
OK, how about we get a ton of sports people, and put them in this big arena, and they're allowed one weapon, but some of the weapons are booby-trapped and blow up unexpectedly, and then they have to run around in the woods, and there's genetically engineered wasps and shit, and then a couple of them would get amorous, which quite frankly is likely to be a bit disgusting with NFL and soccer players, and eventually one would make it all the way through and she'd shoot Donald Trump with a crossbow right in the middle of his SOTU address of his second term?
That would be fucking great!
