My question wasn’t about survivability. It was about endurance.

And yes I still question as to whether any defensive back or wide receiver could keep up the pace for up to 2 hours.
Too many times I’ve seen them with tongues lapping the ground on the sidelines while they get a moment to catch their breath and return to the game.

And let’s not forget most of our footballers play under a domed stadium; nothing like the blazing tropical heat in Brazil.

...you really are uninformed about football conditioning if you believe that an NFL receiver or d-back couldn’t maintain what amounts to an average jog (again, watch more closely...how many soccer players are running full tilt at any given time)over the course of a game...which by the way is often halted for a minute or two by the flopping of players knocked down by someone’s fingernail...

And let’s not forget most of our footballers play under a domed stadium; nothing like the blazing tropical heat in Brazil.

...you outdo even yourself with this statement...so the majority of pew-wees, Pop Warners, high schoolers, college
and professional players play under a roof...gee, who knew...
