Not all basketball players are super tall. Lots of shifty and agile guards in the NBA between 5’11 and 6’3. Same with American football - not every player is beefy. Lots of agile fast technically sound American football players. Tons of overlap TBH - issue is infrastructure in US

How has he managed to mess up something this simple? He just does not have that Dunkirk spirit. Self preservation, me, me, me not country or nation first. There is zero ‘leave no one behind’ there is zero ‘of service’ attitude. This is Sunak showing you who he is
