That sounds like a really weird question.
Of the four major U.S. sports, I imagine that if you are circumcised you are very much in the minority in the NHL and probably the minority in MLB. Even the NBA is becoming full of probably intact Europeans. The NFL is probably circumcised for the most part but there is an increasing number of Pacific Islanders and Africans plus African Americans aren't cut as much as Caucasians and the league is about 50% African American. I don't know anything about the MLS but imagine that it is mostly non-Americans, so circumcision would probably be the minority there. You have to think that it's a confusing experience for American athletes who have been taught that the foreskin is a useless, disgusting piece of extra skin to be surrounded by them once they reach the pros. Not only that, knowing that their intact teammates don't suffer from the supposed problems that Americans have been convinced exist by having a foreskin, I would think they would start to question things.
What do you guys think or do any of you know any current or former pro athletes that might be able to shed some light on this.
