STUDY: BOWLERS ARE THE SMARTEST ATHLETES
Did you ever wonder who are the smartest athletes?
A researcher recently completed a four-year study of 58,000 athletes in the United States, involving virtually every sport.
And guess what he has concluded?
America's smartest athletes are bowlers.
The researcher, William Daley, says bowlers averaged 129 on a series of standard I.Q. tests.
Some other average scores included 109 for tennis players, 105 for basketball players, 103 for football players, 101 for baseball players and 97 for golfers. Daley himself expressed a little shock at the findings. ``Quite frankly,'' he said, ``this wasn't what we expected to find. But we can't ignore the overwhelming evidence. When you look at bowlers on an individual level, you discover a whopping 88 percent of them have above-average intelligence.''
