Six to Eight months out of the year, they play every single day. Moreover, in baseball, teams play 162 games a season, not including playoffs. This is because football players get too big, where it is too hard to throw a baseball and do the things that baseball players have to do, like swinging a bat. If a football player tried to throw a baseball as hard as he could, people would laugh at how slow it goes, with the exception of the quarterbacks. Where, unlike other sports, to hit a baseball farther and harder, it would benefit a guy with a smaller chest, who has stronger hands and forearms opposed to a guy who has a big chest and bigger biceps because that gets in the way of bat speed, rotation, and flexibility.
They are different athletes and they are built a different way. Baseball players have a different body type. In baseball, you don’t have to be the biggest, strongest, and fastest guy out there.
What they don’t take into perspective is the short sixteen game season of football, and a few more games if a team makes the playoffs. They also see how big and built these amazing athletes are, to a point where they would say something like: “Those guys are animals, they’re like superhuman.” Yes, in football, it is all about who is the strongest, who is the fastest, who can bench the most, etc. Football fans see the hard, brutal, physical contact and the frequent injuries. They are allowed to hit each other, they have to wear heavy equipment, and the pace of the game is very fast. Looking at football, it is easy to see that there is more physical contact. This is because of the physical and mental aspects of the game, the ride to get to the highest level of play, and the skill level.įurthermore, football and baseball fans need to recognize just how physical of a sport baseball really is along with the mental toll that the sport takes on an athlete at it’s highest level of play. When it comes to the level of difficulty, baseball, rather than football, is the harder sport of the two to play professionally. But, there are so many more factors that play into these two sports than what seems obvious to the eye. Baseball and football are both similar in that they have the best players in the world in their professional leagues. The thing that these football fans don’t take into account is the big picture. On the other hand, they view football as the most physical sport. Sometimes, it’s even referred to as a girl’s sport. Most football fans see baseball as this lazy, laid back sport.
