average height by sport
>>
>>154391276
Anon most of the entries in your list arent sports. Next time be more consistent and maybe throw two teams and the length of a baseball bat in there so I can get the full picture

sorry your sport is for manlet thirdies hans

Also which teams did you sample for soccer?
>>
>>154391276
Where are Handball and Volleyball?

sports that require the most skill will typically have heights closer to the human average

where are the jockeys?

Well whats your favourite sports, anon?

i mixed league with sport in my prompts and didn't bother or care to normalize the terminology, there's a shitty ascii-esque emoji for that purpose
i computed it league-by-league as well for soccer but it wasn't very interesting and i'd probably have to use player nationalities to get real insight

Go ahead, add the phillipines and chinas basketball leagues to basketball instead of just “nba” and lets see how tall that average really is

>>154400350
Basketball, Volleyball and Waterpolo is probably the top 3. Then you get stuff like korfball, hansball, rowing, etc. No shit basketballers are tall, why argue with that factoid.

Basketball has low viewership because the NBA currently puts out a dogshit product.

NBA Heights are in shoes, so you can take 3 cm off everyone.
NHL players are definitely lying when even supposed to be 6'3 Ovechkin is shorter than Djokovic.
And in tennis nobody in the top 30 of the most successful players were over 6'2

I wonder if you took out Indians the average height would be; being 6 ft tall is usually considered a requirement to be a fast bowler (India has only produced one notable fast bowler). You don't really see any any short pace bowlers in England or Australian cricket even as medium-pacers or spinners. Only see genuine manlets as batsmen.

It's common knowledge you can't trust NHL heights but I assumed that applied to all sports

explains why croatia perform so well despite being a shithole with a tiny population. just too much manliness for most teams
>>
>>154405213
this is just their nationality. there's not a good way to determine if they're an ethnic dutchman or an immigrant without either assuming the surname is foreign and mapping surnames to countries or having the player face picture and running a model for race classification on it

also there's probably sampling bias that only taller foreigners can get in because it's mostly european leagues, there's no third world leagues except some in latin america
>>
>>154405173
Honestly if you're tinder or one of those shitholes why not just lie about your height? Majority of women are terrible at judging measurements, height or dick length.
t. have been called 6ft by women when am only <5' 11"

is messi being short supposed to be a bad thing? he is one of the best soccer players of his generation despite being short.
or are you saying that being short gives him an advantage against the lanky defenders like happens once in awhile in basketball so hes not actually one of the best players?
>>
>>154405615
no, every team needs a tactical manlet. you should deploy them either on the wing or at the number 10 position.

only shortstop and second base and thats lessening as teams value power over fielding. only middle infielders benefit from being closer to the ground.
running, throwing, and hitting are all greatly benefited by being tall.
>>
>>154391276
combat sports realised that short guys cant compete physically so invented size divisions. it would be cool to see them make a manlet basketball world cup. maybe have it at the special olympics
>>
>>154405747
this anon is lying to make a point, baseball is the one sport in NA that body/weight doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is if you can do your job. With the expectation being Pitchers because having longer limbs gives you a tangible advantage.

lel these bitches are delusional. 6.4 is like 15 cm over the average height of American men. You are limiting yourself to like the top 5% of men based solely on height. The man of your dreams out here struggling with a perfectly normal 1.80, still towering over your 1.65 so what are you doing?
This obsession with height in the first place. Women want confidence and not being a psychopath, and not looking like an ogre.

as i have more than a decade of experience in being a manlet lets break it down.
>You are limiting yourself to like the top 5% of
yes. women dont want sex, they want sex with chad. theyd rather just not have sex than be with a manlet.

>The man of your dreams out here struggling with a perfectly normal 1.80
no, the man of their dreams is 6'4 as shown by that anons pic

>still towering over your 1.65 so what are you doing
girls dont want guys taller than them, they want guys taller than their friends boyfriends. a tall boyfriend is like a gucci handbag or new pair of shoes, they want to make their friends jealous so a tall bf is a need. also short girls want tall guys so their kids dont grow up short and getting bullied. they want the best genes for their kid to fix their short genes.

>not looking like an ogre.
pic related.

lucky for you youre from holland so everyone with atleast passable genes is like 6'4 anyway so it doesnt matter
>>
>>154391276
Why would height be an issue in Golf?
>>
>>154407356
in theory if you are taller you have a longer club/more leverage so can drive the ball further. but its useless in anything but pure distance and golf is 90 percent about putting ability due to how short distance the holes are from the tee. so it isnt really an issue.
>>
>>154407403
youre never going to get on the pro track without distance. its a lot easier to teach a 6'2 guy how to chip and put than it is to teach a 5'7 guy to drive 325.
>>
>>154391276
Americans lie about their heights all the time so I don’t trust these averages

That weird looking Yankees star is massive in size and weight.
>>
>>154407356
it's not, i just wanted to include it for reference
>>
>>154405769
It's literally the 6' vs 5'11" meme. Scouts will immediately classify how risky you are to draft based on whether you reach certain height thresholds.
>>
>>154406439
Never insult me again by calling me American.

if animals are to be taken into account, hes right. average sized dogs speedmog big and tiny ones, they are better at tricks too.

I'm surprised that the average AFL height is shorter than the NBA. I thought most of players were 6 foot 8 or 6 foot 9.
>>
>>154402547
Which is sad because iso ball is the worst kind of basketball in terms of entertainment value. What the league needs is for dominant teams that make the finals or conference finals every year to return. Like it or not, people love seeing dynasties and tune in to watch them, parity doesn't put eyeballs on the television. There's also the problem of the game being so optimized now that creativity in the midrange is being dampened but I think that's much less of an issue than the former point I brought up.
>>
>>154411305
how would you fix that? remove the 3pt line?
>>
>>154407356
Midgets aren't allowed in the clubhouse

>>154411263
The backbone of a footy team is tall guys but you need some shorter players when the ball gets loose and goes to ground so there's always some Hayden Ballantynes around dragging the average down.
