Call me weird.
Our top GMs are sportsmen and mental athletes

To me it's more interesting than watching grown men in tights chase each other around a field.

And we follow their exploits like other sportsfans follow the play of Marshawn and Jarmeis and Lionel and Diego.
Topalov is a BEAST (mentally).
Caruana is fabulous in his deep preparation and selections of moves.
Wesley So is the hottest player on the planet!
Kramnik is incredibly accurate by any measurement.
And Magnus is King! He doesn't even need openings to win.
I pity the fools who will never appreciate any of this mental drama or experience the turmoil and struggle of their own personal chess.
Chess is pain.
Chess is triumph.
Chess is life.

Marshawn Lynch? He's already retired. And who's Jarmeis?
Damn, you know less about football than I do.
Are you talking about Jameis Winston? He's hardly one of the first examples that comes to mind of great football players.
I don't give a fig about Jameis but I've heard his name. Marshawn is coming back with the Raiders.
But today Wesley So overpowered Kramnik to regain the #2 slot!
Awesome!
Awesome!

In any case, if you want to give 2 examples of great football players, those are not the 2 that you give. One was once great but is now past his prime, and the other has never been great.
Macer75 you've confirmed that I'm not a football fan.
Full grown men dedicating their lives to a child´s game just to get a 2800+ ELO. Unbeleivable. Whatever floats their boat I guess.
