However, you need to realize that different sports produce different levels of athletes, utilizing different energy systems (endurance, short burst, and a mix of both) So it is pointless to say that one sports athletes are better than another sports athletes.
I am also going to look into your claim about strikers running 10 second flat 100m times, or 20 second 200m times... because that was not a fact I've heard before... Not that I'm saying you're lying, however I find it hard to believe.
I won't analyze your other comments, because trying to argue that one person's sport is better or harder than another is just a waste of breath... each to his own mate

I understand what your saying about different sports have different physical requirements and thus different athletes. My point about soccer players being fitter is based on them needing more different types of fitness: sprinting, power, endurence, agility etc. The majority of other sports dont have as large a requirement for a variety of physical fitness.
When looking into the sprinting thing remember that strikers dont run 100m or 200M. They reach the same speeds but only need to sustain them over a shorter distance. If it helps you when looking look into the biomechanical design of strikers soccer boots compared to other players boots. Strikers boots are as light and thin as possible. They resemble sprint shoes they have been stripped down in weight so much. This position specific requirements are often overlooked when players are buying boots. Professionals have biomechanical specialists to design their boots in relation to their needs. Thats just a few things you can look into when researching to verify my claim. If you find out anything particulay coo[l in your research let us know.
