Only if you consider soccer the same... you need very similar athleticism for both sports.

Maybe if you watch MLS.......

You really think the top flight Ultimate players are going to have anywhere near the skill (relatively oviously) of people like Christian Ronaldo or Ronaldinho??

I think you mistook what he said. He's saying the athletic skill sets are similar, not the average athleticism of participants.

And if Ultimate was as popular as soccer with as much money involved, I would imagine that the stars of both sports would have similar levels of athleticism.

That is the point I was trying to make.

Playing a game of soccer w/ buds up to club soccer and you would need the same athleticism to play Ultimate of the same skill level.

You are constantly moving, the game is always changing and one small error can cost you a point in either direction.
