Soccer players can be fat too:

He got skills
HE looks fat there but he wasn't fat all the time, plus he's a goalkeeper, so they don't run around the pitch
I also found this funny
HE did quite a lot of that

He stuck his middle finger up to their fans and he also wore a top that said "God bless the pope"
His most notable gesture was blessing himself, since the majority of rangers fans are protestant, they went crazy.
Here is his song:
"Ohhhhh Artur Boruc,
The Holy Goalie,
He hates the huns
He blessed himself at Ibrox and the Huns went off their nut,
he's off his fucking rocket and sings
GOD BLESS THE POPE"
Celtic was the place for him because he hated rangers fans
He was so legendary because he was so crazy

Back on topic though. All football players that become fat are fired. It's not very often you see a fat fotball player
I'm sure there are afew American football players like that

When you look at the height & weight of the NFL players you would think that. For a lot of the players their bodyfat ratio is lower than the average person. I've met a few players and the only one that was as large as he seems was Jon Ogden (nice guy). Gilbert "The Gravedigger" Brown ran track as well as played football while in college. Most linemen are able to run the 40 at 5 seconds or lower for several years. I offer for you viewing a portion of the NFL combine. There is a portion of the combine where you lift 225lbs (102kg)as many times as possible. Stamina & technique is needed for this as well as strength (not just arm strength).

Not at all. Obviously certain positions in American football call for strong, heavy people, not slim athletes, but to deny that there are no fat people playing the game is delusional.
Just because you are fat does not mean that you do not have the strength, speed and fitness to be defensive lineman. This is not necessarily a criticism, it is a fact. These guys do not spend an hour and a half running around a football pitch. They come on and then use explosive strength for 5-10 seconds at a time.
Soccer players (barring the goalkeeper) tend to be moving most of the time - running or walking, but seldom standing still during the entire 90 minutes.
The 2 games are totally different as are the players required.
We would be better off comparing American Football and Rugby League as its closest counterpart.

How about the second part of my post, do soccer players do any kind of strength training in the gym? I used to work out in the field house where my university football team did their strength training. None of those guys were fat. They were all muscle-bound and probably technically "over-weight", but fat, nope, and this was a second-tier college football team. Soccer fans act like any fat couch-potato motherfucker can suit up and play American football.
They do strength training yes.

What you have here are different ideas of athleticism. I don't find soccer players particularly athletic. They run for 45 minutes at a time, which is great, but so what? Marathon runners make them look like third-graders. I think the appeal of soccer is the nationalism and the idea that, because they're not particularly athletic, anyone can play. All you need is an empty field, a ball, and two goals. Simple, not particularly demanding, and anyone can play. Yeah, I see the appeal of that.
