        People who played football know enough to not let their kids play football.

        this study is obviously flawed. The NFL's population is dramatically larger!

        There's only so many elite athletes that are +6',6''. Hight is highly heritable. Other factors make a much bigger pool in FB.

        Basketball, like golf, requires a rare combination of fine and gross motor skills. Difficult games.

        how do you account for this 31.3% difference? Could it be a lot of football is brute size and strength rather than talent?
