In gym class I was never an early draft. Usually near the last.
I did play on local soccer and football leagues, but never stood out. I
did it because everyone else did it, and the parents said I had to do
something extracurricular. This is a bit of an embarrassing story, but
when I joined the local Pop Warner football team I didn't know any of
the rules to football. Soccer was simple to muddle through --kick
towards the other goal, don't use hands. Football has a lot of rules.
The coaches never explained how to actually play and I never asked. I
just sort of tried to emulate the kids around me to get through the
games. I never figured out what a "down" was until I was in high school.
I haven't stayed in touch with any of the school athletes so I couldn't
say how they're doing in life.

Since we are all successful techno nerds here, I am wondering:
Back in the day, when you lined up and a couple of troglodytes were
assigned the task of picking people for their teams, how near the
front were you picked?
I was frequently next to last. Better than being last.
The troglodytes that I know have not really had great lives. Multiple
spouses, menial jobs etc.
Who won?
