What I'm saying is if lets say soccer is banned for 1 year throughout the world some soccer players who are great athletes can get football jobs as wide receivers, corner backs etc if there was ever a need from an NFL team.
Same thing with Lebron James or Kobe Bryant. If they quit the NBA they can get jobs in the NFL.
So the only time you can have a two sport athlete is with Baseball/Football and is not because of talent but because it works out with the season schedules of each sport.
