I got no opinion. I don't know.
i say that to a certain extent yes. i mean i was on the track team in high school and went to state all four years but i sat the bench on varsity basketball for 2 years. does the fact that i sat the bench make me not an athlete... no. does the fact that somebody may not be as good as someone else make them not an athlete? i think there is a line to drawl. i mean some guy that goes out and tosses the football around to their kid is not an athlete but that doesnt mean they werent an athlete at one time
