Inspired by
and my recent laments that I no longer get to watch one of my favorite sports (sumo) on account of not living in Japan, I'm wondering what class of athletes you guys think would be successful if they made the transition.
I've often wondered why the NFL doesn't get kickers from rugby/converted soccer goalies... you know, things like that.
Or why Usain Bolt isn't lining up across from Randy Moss.
Or why we don't bring sumo wrestlers across to be linemen/hockey goalies
American professional leagues tend to pay better than a lot of the less popular sports here that are bigger in the rest of the world... it just seems like maybe we should recruit more top-class athletes in those sports to make transitions, and I'm wondering
A. if you think this idea is insane, and
B. where you think your most likely targets are

No because he was a 2 time all state WR in Ohio and was wanted by Ohio State and Notre Dame but they knew he was going to play basketball. And look at the dude someone that big and athletic would be hard to stop.

These threads never end and never end easy. I'd rather read 100 political threads than this shit. Some of these responses are absurd and people seem to take offense to their retarded opinions.
