No one is talking about how tough of a sport either one of them are.

And Baseball is well known for being the sport where you can have a belly hanging over your belt, and that most players sit around for hours scratching their balls. But it is a redneck American sport and them der Americans don't tolerate dem der gays.

Golf also used to be known as the Old Gentlemans game before Tiger.
