Also if the sports size rankings thing seems weird, it was [ confirmed by a buddy of mine who works in sports. At least that some baseball players turn out to be surprisingly big and I think most people would expect more from football locker rooms.
I'm not sure there's any significant difference in average size for different sports. However, I played football in high school (9-12) and college, and wrestled in high school.
In high school, the football players tended to be average or even somewhat small-average, although maybe a little on the thick side. Stubby. Not what you'd expect. This could have been partly due to the "fat pads" associated with stockier builds, especially on line men. The swimming team would often end up showering with us. They, on the other hand, looked noticeably larger. Like the mushroom squad meets the asparagus troop. I remember a couple times when this was the cause of some good-natured teasing by some of the swimmers.
It was just the opposite in college football; they tended to be on the large or large average side, with a couple of real "monsters". Of course, this could have been due to the fact that half were black, whereas in high school we had no blacks on our team.
Wrestlers seemed to have more "outliers", i.e., those noticeably big and noticeably small (like me). From what I could see of basketball players, they seemed surprisingly average considering their height. One really tall and gangly, ginger-haired, freckle-faced player stood out like a sore thumb: he had a really short, super skinny penis, like a pink worm. What made it worse was he obviously seemed self-conscious about it; tense, on his guard.
These differences were most probably simply due to what they call a sampling error in polling. It'd probably even out over hundreds of teams.
. . . I think most people would expect more from football locker rooms.
I can attest to the expectation factor about football players. I know from experience most expected more between my legs. I'm tall (6'3"), well-built, and hairy-chested, the typical super-masculine jock. However, I'm hung like a chipmunk; soft, the head barely pokes out of my pubic hair. I'm sure that tall, ginger-haired basketball player was subject to even greater expectations. I'm 6'3"; he was probably 6'6" or 6'7", with the typical basketball player build. Imagine how big everyone thought his cock would be. After all, don't tall guys have big dicks?
