Are these even pro athletes? This competition is really low rent sports entertainment. Turrible tv.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
:laughing:

I always wondered what it would be like to go to England (or another country that doesn't play the sport) and try to make the national baseball team. I'm by no means good but I'm expecting like 100 people in the country play the sport.

I also had a friend who was a good HS basketball player but didn't play in college or anything and said he played pick up with some guys who are in the British Top Basketball league while studying abroad. Claimed he was as good or better than most of the guys. I think it's rated the lowest league in Europe.
