Simply put, superiority in athletics is easy to measure. The winner in a race; The highest jumper; The strongest person. Intellectual ability is easy to measure too. Some people know more words. Some people know more than one language. Some people read faster.
IQ tests are suspicious to many people because what is being measured is invisible. Intelligence is a factor in sports but so are physical skills. A football player has to be strong and fast and in addition needs the ability to think under pressure. But the question is why are some people superior?
Everyone has attributes and abilities. Some have more and better attributes. Why?
Partly because of their DNA. The ability to think is widespread although it’s clear some people are better at it and some are worse.
