American football athletes are far better athletes than soccer players. Ironically American football athletes participate in the Olympics intermittently whereas soccer players never do.

@ soccer cacs being "Olympians".
Soccer doesn't do the Olympics because of all the tournaments and games throughout the course of the year.
International friendlies.
League games.
Champions League, FA Cup, Gold Cup, CONCACAF Cup, Copa America, World Cup Qualifying, Copa Libertadores, World Cup....
If the NFL had an equivalent schedule to soccer players they'd probably die from injury.
It's not to say that Soccer players are necessarily tougher than NFL players. But they're far busier.
The NFL is losing its collective shyt over potentially adding 2 more games to the regular season schedule.
I mean let's keep it real, breh.
