Interesting topic I would say a professional triathlete, due to the imense stress they put on their bodies with very little time off in a year.

Guess I would have to say basketball - shearly based on numbers... (number of pro spots available)

Golf - toughest based on getting paid... and numbers - even more so thatn basektball

As for Athletes... that's a toss-up.
Football and Basketball are basically the same kind of athlete. Baseball is a totally different skillset (different from all others IMO). Hockey... well, I'm not really qualified for that one...

Major League Baseball players....the scrutiny with PEDs and the incredibly long season takes a toll on those players for sure.

I was never good at anything requiring skates or wheels. Was in the ski club however and loved street hockey.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
