What sport can manlets play?
>footie
Unless you get pumped full of HGH at 12 years old no way
>contact sports
Nobody cares about the featherweight champion who would probably lose to a woman in a fight anyway
>track
Need long legs to run fast
>field
Need big arms to throw far
>golf
Longer arms and height give you better levers
>pool/snooker/billiards
You need to be tall to reach over the table
>tennis
Have fun serving when you can barely see over the net
>basketball
Lol

Don't tell me the only options are horse riding and cricket with the Indians, there must be something respectable out there

Wrestling and combat sports are made for manlets. 80% of boxers and MMA fighters are 175cm or shorter and fight at 71kg or below

How about cycling? Most riders are fairly average in height, but they can range from 160 cm to 200+ cm without it being a clear advantage either way.

There are some manlet baseball players but most are large. MLB average size is like 6’2 215

Just off the top of my head: Pacquiao, Mayweather, McGregor

Manlets can be good batters for the strike zone

skewed by pitchers, everyone else comes in all shapes and sizes

Pro sports always lie about player size.

Also what the other anon said about pitchers skewing the average.
>>
>>154958107
Again, a chart like this is useful for comparing professional athletes in different sports to one another, but not useful for indicating actual heights. Professional sports always inflate athletes' height.

>t. have been around professionals who are allegedly taller than myself, but who are somehow shorter

So subtract an inch from everything.

so? if they all inflate them, just subtract X from everyone then

>>154962708
>>154964971
"X" isn't X, though, it's variable. Sometimes it can be extreme for tall dudes.

But you could maybe average it out to something like 1.7" or so.

there are no kids in your future manlet

it doesn't vary that much, you're overthinking it
>>
>>154966620
I've seen it in person. Sometimes it's modest, sometimes it's extreme. Also keep in mind that almost nobody is actually as tall as they claim or think they are.
>>
>>154956907
The ABS strike zone system is customized to each player. When MLB measured players heights a lot of them lost 2 or 3 inches from their billed height. kek

Yeah, I'm thinking my estimate of 1.7'' across all sports might have been too generous.
>>
>>154966731
I know exactly how tall I am because I had to get measured

>>154967660
Then you are among the elite.
