Watched the video. The emphasis was on individual sport versus team sport. Possibly, if Jesse Owens had today's technology then he would have given Bolt a run for his money. I wish this guy would do an analysis on Bill Russell versus today's players as the emphasis is "yea but that was decades ago". Russell was an athletic freak. The speaker never mentioned football as there are no comparisons of yesterday's athletes.
OP have you watched 4 seconds of sports ... ever?
Also ... At least Kontra gave us a poll.
They would be children against men. The worst team in today’s NFL (Arizona?) would wipe the floor with the 1966 GB Packers.If you took NFL players from the 60s and put them in today’s game some of them would literally die.
