What Triz said:

Let me introduce you to AFL and NRL =D http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/photos-e6frer9x-1111120759888

Australian Rules Football begins its new season April 3, 2015. Unless you find game torrents or live Down Under, it is hard to see the world's greatest team sport (aka "footy," as opposed to the various meanings of the word "football" as a standalone ambiguity), and USAnians are, once again, cut off from another great example of world culture, which is the kind of thing that makes my fellow murricans think a "world series" is a set of games played by teams from a single country.

However, Aussies have much noticed the, um, fitness of the players, and newspapers in that country have run a number of articles assession which of these jocks is the hottest stud on the playing field. Most players are white, but some are black as the ace of spades, and some of the best are highly respected aboriginals, who are, as a group, fairly celebrated institutionally for their contributions to the sport.

Players often begin pro work at 17 or 18 and typically retire by their early 30s, though Dustin Fletcher, 39, of the Essendon Bombers is still going strong as any force of nature, even if he has been playing longer than some of his teammates have been alive.

There are, in general, two types of players– the "smalls" and the "talls." Little guys may run fast, even if they cannot out grab someone a foot or more taller and a lot heavier, but while the big guys might have a world of power, they may suffer in agility. It takes both, and the skills required for either type are spectacular.

Unlike yankee football, players typically kick a goal from 50 meters or more, often while pursued by a pack of opponents. And while the ball may be moved down the field by running and a kind of modified pass, the real work is done by pinpoint precision kicking to a player well downfield who may have to pluck the ball out of the air from the midst of a crowded contest, may have to run to be in position to catch it, or who might even just have to stand there and grab hold of it as it lands perfectly on his chest.

I really love watching those skills at work, and I love watching the way the members of a team coordinate and integrate their play, making split second decisions about how to dispose of the ball. It is a game where commentary often enough uses the words "courage" and "unselfish" as someone ignores personal danger to keep his eye on the ball, or generously allows another player to score instead of himself.

Some of these dudes are lean, slender, sleekly muscled, with the bodies of swimmers and divers. Others are great muscle hunks bulging at arm and leg and crotch. Unlike the well-padded concussion victims of the U.S. sport, these men wear skimpy shorts that often reveal the lines of their undies, or gather noticeably around their basket, even when someone is not pawing the bits into a more comfortable position while the camera watches.

Speaking of arms, there sure are a lot of tattoos on these men. Some full sleeves, some highly decorated backs. Perhaps it is partly linked to aboriginal influences there in the southern South Pacific. Also, some of us enjoy that all these athletic men in the prime of their lives and their most virile period, wear sleeveless shirts that reveal v few of them shave or trim at least that part of their body. Also, there seems to be no prohibition on beards, which a number of players affect, what with their excess of brawling hormones.

Fortunately, you do not have to take the word of this stranger, you can go to YouTube and search for AFL Football, or do a Bing/Google search for Australian Rules Football images, perhaps including the word Shirtless (or Naked or Gay) in yr terms. On YouTube, you may enjoy watching compilations of some of the most exciting Marks (what a US footballer might call a "fair catch") and Goals-- though the idea of getting the ball off a boot and between the goal posts may take a few unexpected twists from what US fans think of as kicking a goal. Still, landing the ball for a six-point score from more than half a regulation US football field away is a fair dinkum feat by any measure, and seeing a player run and jump on top of the shoulders of whoever is in his way in order to snatch the ball from ten or more feet in the air is fairly awesome.

Images from the above Gods of Football charity calendar can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNiLd5kixBg

Some of these men not only have rippling abs of steel but are ungodly handsome and really astonishingly wholesome looking as well, the kind of men your mother would approve you bringing home to bed.

As a footnote, glad to see others have already made it clear that the kind of small-minded, judgmental bigotry found amongst some of the more looksist, agist, and hateful narcissists in our community is not welcome for discussions that presumably are designed to increase awareness and appreciation of beautiful men– in this case, outstandingly attractive sportsmen. Not everyone looks like diver Tom Daley or rugger Nick Youngblood, or wants either one to fool around with in private, but is it really necessary, esp. on a site with a significant segment of fans of older and/or chubby men, to attempt a dick measuring contest on the basis of who has better taste in pulchritude?

Turning this topic or any other into another excuse for the usual anti-US crap may be bog standard misbehavior and thread hijacking, but it is also pretty much a waste of time and an exercise in ignorance. Anyone with an IQ in single digits Kelvin should be smart enough to know that obesity is far from the greatest problem faced by residents of the deeply divided and dysfunctional former North American democracy.

gymnastics

[PUTIPUELCA]

yes, rugby

[brianboru72]

Gymnastics gets my vote! A really good combination of power and flexibility. 

Aside from that, swimming and diving are also sports with really hot participants.

[andersonbrea]

Hockey and american football for sure

[macwls]

Hockey players tend to be hot. But rugby players have those shorts.

[zhouyinting]

football 100%

[JohnAllenson]

I like gymnasts, hockey players, and baseball players.

[cteavin]

Gymnastics, but they tend to be short. Very short.

Soccer players have the mass but not too much.  :hug2:

[likegoodmen]

Yeah: easily soccer (European football), or rugby

Anything with the legs. Fast movement of/with the legs. Tennis is a big one too. If the guys cut their hair.

Wrestling is #3.

[fredfranco]

Rugby and American football, because they produce a wide range of big bulked manly fellas, from slender guys to bears.

Some proof below:

[fredfranco]

…some even become models:

[fredfranco]

Water Polo

I think water polo athletes are even hotter than swimmers, because instead of being manscaped, overly chiseled or disproportionally tall, their bodies are more natural and hairy.

[pclia11177]

gym and diving makes guys look wonderful, but I think tennis makes better, because the previous athletes all look too petit! Football and basketball are all good, but their athletes are rarely gays, though

[Volsrfer]

if you ever go to the climbing gyms, some of the hottest and open minded guys!

[jelybeen80]

wrestling (obviously lol), tennis & hockey! a lot of guys who play hockey have huge butts   :drool:

[Porolo]

Diving!!!

Divers are just perfect… lean, athletic bodies with those rounded muscular asses... OMG. And they're usually not very tall. I like guys shorter than me.

[andergarcia]

In Spain, football players are the hottest
