Who's the most overrated athlete?

  • Joe Dionisio

    Easy: That model of good husband behavior, Tiger Woods. Why? I'm not saying he's not a great golfer, because he is. I'm not going to slam him for not being a good athlete, because according to most accounts he really is. If nothing else, he looks like he's on PEDs compared to the rest of the pro tour. No, he's overrated because he is only a golfer. I mean, seriously, do you consider golf to be athletic? If you do, then I'd like to say that there ought to be a professional jump-roping or hopscotch tour as well. Golf may be a sport, but its credentials as an athletic activity are dubious at best. It's something that requires great skill, sure, but is skill enough to make something athletic? If so, then why do so many idiots (especially in the ignorant press) discount racing car drivers, especially in Formula One and endurance racing, to not be athletes? I can argue that you need to be a better athlete as a racing car driver than as a golfer to be a success in the sport.
