Fine. Gay sports like gymnastic are for short people, and contact sports where you need to be powerful are for tall people/

boxing has weight classes, baseball/cricket is arguable per position , basketball ok we all know what "type" of people play this most, so what does it really matter, football is a sport with extremely heavy physical contact so whatever. nothing you say disproves my point at all

Taller boxers are better. For Cricket at least there are things that tall people are inherently good at, but nothing really sticks out as being advantageous for short people.

i know next to nothing about baseball or cricket so i'm just going off the wikipedia article which basically takes no position w/r/t height and says both are good at different things
