Getting into politics is a joke because people are stupid so any athlete automatically has a decent chance at being elected despite having the political savy of a nut but people remember them from their other careers and elect them. Politics in general is a case of idiots voting for other idiots who just know how to promise the right things

Eh, not really a surprise seeing as how back in the 70s most NFL players had to have an off season job since pro football paid shit. A lot of players were businessmen, tradesmen, or lawyers back then

As much as no one on /sp/ wants to believe it, WWE wrestlers ARE athletes.
They have to pull off incredible feats of power and acrobatics. The dangers are all still there.

YES THERE IS A PREDETERMINED WINNER, WE ALL FUCKING KNOW THAT
but wrestlers still have to be in incredible shape to do some of the things they do in the ring.
>inb4 someone posts a really fat wrestler like rikishi or something
They're literal purpose is to be a gimmick, not a headliner. And they are also incredibly strong.
But I already know the first (you) to this post is going to be >>>/asp/ so fuck it. I'm not saying I like wrestling, I just respect what they are capable of doing
