What’s Sexy About Sportsmen?





Sportsmen in general appeal to the opposite sex a lot and by sportsmen, I speak in generic terms, meaning men and women into sports. Of course not all professional sportsmen have this magic but of the lot who have, there’s no sparing the lusting fans; no wonder many of them are either dating, married or once married to ex-beauty queens, models and actors or actresses.


From the gods and goddesses of Tennis to the titans of Football and then the hunks of Basketball, you can’t help gasping when the sexy stars run up the pitch, make that dunk or swing that racket. And somehow, their outfits just seem to help further our imaginations. I mean, beyond watching a good game, who doesn’t need some form of side attraction? *wink*.

I’ll make a quick rundown of sportsmen that in my opinion have gorgeous bodies, and have at one time or the other given me the oomph.

Top on the list would have to be English midfielder David Beckham. His many endorsements say it all. His quality of play on the pitch may be far from fantastic but no one comes near comparison when it comes to looks. Little wonder he’s the only sportsman who made it to the royal wedding. Victoria is just one lucky woman.

Next, I remember my days of tripping for Ivorian-born Manchester City defender, Habib Toure, in his early days with Arsenal FC. ‘Fine black man‘, I would whisper to myself. I would watch Arsenal play then for two reasons- one you already know- Toure, and the other was Thierry Henry. I loved the short bald cutie. Even his meaningless fits of temper were romantic *chuckles*

In tennis, Roger Federer is just the perfect gentleman. Young Rafael Nadal beats him to looks and physique but he doesn’t come close in any way to Federer’s cool, calm and collected behaviour on and off pitch. For the ladies, black power Serena Williams, sister Venus and Maria Sharapova are exciting to watch in their outfits. Serena’s very African curves and her choice of jerseys flirt with the crowd as she paces up and down the court either serving the ball or swinging it back.

Whether a serial cheat like Tiger Wood or die hard faithful like Beckham (at least he’s not been caught cheating), women just love sportsmen.

Coming back home, my Nigerian obsession used to be Super Eagles defender Joseph Yobo. Well, that was before beauty queen Adaeze Igwe cut short my fantasies. And what was the attraction? His pink lower lips *covers face in shame*. Only few weeks ago, Adaeze’s stunning mother also married a good looking and prized ex-footballer, John Fashanu. Fashanu was previously married to a Congolese beauty queen and would scarcely talk about his marital experience. British beauty Eva Longoria would probably have some ‘odd’ reasons for loving and sticking her French basketball player ex, Tony Parker, just before his extra-marital affairs became public.

Even Pipper Middleton, the ravishing sister to the Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William’s new bride), is dating a Rugby player yet you ask me what is sexy about sportsmen? Everything!
