15 Athletes Who Would be Awkward at Your Day Job
Athletes That Don't "Fit" Into the Typical Workplace
If you put any NFL linebacker or NBA center into a “normal” day job, it just wouldn’t look right. However, some athletes would definitely stand out more than others.
There are just some athletes that would be extremely intimidating to work next to in an office. Whether they’re muscular, tall, or covered in tattoos, sometimes athletes just don’t fit into the “typical” workplace.
What do I mean by “typical” day job? I consider it one where you’re sitting behind a desk, on a computer, answering phones, assisting costumers, etc. Something that professional athletes never have to encounter unless they’re making contracts with their agents or scheduling times for celebrity appearances.
I understand athletes have to train and then perform in front of large audiences but do they know what it would be like to have a real 8-5 job everyday? It would be hilarious to put some of these guys into an office setting because they wouldn’t know what to do.
Many professional athletes admit that they get off easy with their grades during college, and many of them do not even graduate. Some of these guys should simply be lucky that they are athletic because their brains wouldn’t have gotten them very far in the workplace.
Then you look at their physical appearance and decide that many of them could not even get a real job. Most professional places require you to cover tattoos, piercings and to have a proper appearance and these guys just don’t have that. So who would be the weirdest athletes to work with? Take a look and Enjoy!

This NBA player is just one amusing person. He's covered in tattoos and has quite the interesting mohawk hairstyle. Anyone with the nickname "Birdman" would just be extremely weird to work with at a day job.
