this was posted just a while ago in the football/soccer thread in the other celeb forum:

its a "top ten" list of pretty boy atheletes
except the ranking is faaaaaaaar from complimentary

So, do most of you guys (and girls) think that just because a guy is pretty, he isn't a good athelete?
The list seems to degrade many sports' top atheletes...ie Tom Brady, Rafael Nadal, Ian Thorpe.


And I'm just wondering...does this guy have any idea what he's saying?
I can understand that some people think that sports and atheletic ability is all about "manliness"...but when you start dissing top ranked guys like Nadal, do you even have a point?

especially considering the guys on that list could probably hand this "manly" guy his ass in a sports game


I also found this little cheek insulting and extremely ignorant

In a sport where diving and faking an injury are skills as prized as dribbling and passing in the NBA, Beckham is the King of queens.

then again...what can you expect from someone who comprised a list titled "Top 10 Female Physiques In Sports" as something appropriate for a sports and fitness article?

that guy's retarded. obviously, if a guy is a "pretty boy" that doesn't mean he's a bad athlete. a lot of those guys on that list are pretty good.

this writer has too much free time and is just submitting useless articles

i'm gonna say they're average-looking at best

how the hell is johnny damon considered a pretty boy?
and that hocky guy is definitely not good-looking

and if they are really pretty, then why aren't their pictures posted so we could know what they look like?

by the way, i don't believe looks and athletic talent are related in any way

[aznboi1107]

most of these "pretty boys" never won hella championhships except Tom Brady. In my opinion the "better looking athletes" don't do as well as the ugly ones. Coincidence? maybe haha.

...Ian Thorpe...?

what Mo Arora seemed to have forgotten was that Thorpe usually wears the full body suit in competition lol

Well, I think Tian Liang is a pretty boy, and he's one of the best divers out there.

[B0hemian_Sprite]

I would have never considered Rafa a "pretty boy"
Maybe Andy Roddick...

but the writer's just hatin

[ace4va111]

seriously, the writer has some issues with the guys most esp. beckham....

[vannushka]

That writer really had a thing for Beckham didn't he. Let's just say that writer didn't realise that some atheletes can be both good looking and talented.

I guess he's talking about the hype, some players who aren't that talent do get the "hype" based on their good looks.

[xsilentangel]

Beckham's handsome and extremely talented, pft to the author.

[cksdayoff]

hmmmm...Tyrone Hill is such a good athlete.

[supa'Wanki]

the international soccer captains usually look good.

[mikeee]

Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather
example of a "pretty boy" who's good

[Mr.FrostbiteIceSkater]

I know it's not true cuz im a pretty boy and good athlete. Just trying to be modest.

[Bboy_CL1]

lol riiigghhhttt so not true...

[HERMIT]

Oscar De La Hoya is about as "pretty boy" as they come, yet he's a great fighter in his own right.

[yodisbsteve]

hahah pretty boys arent necesarilly bad atheletes. but the good prettyboys, if they werent so good lookin they mightve been alot better.

i think george best said "if i had been born ugly the world wouldve never heard of pele"

[KeepinItReal]

[SlashMySoul]
