Not as cool as foil fencers! (Holds up flame shield from tennis players, golfers, soccer players, and baseball players who disagree)

Tennis players - people of contradictions. Very disciplined most of the time, total partiers getting completely wasted other times.

Golfers - I can never think of it as a "sport." Hobby, sure - but not a sport.

Soccer players - people with anger issues

Baseball players - generally vanilla All-American types.

Tennis players -- all the ones i know who are serious about tennis are very nice, but not particularly outgoing or a blast to be around.
Golfers -- average white guy.
Soccer players -- perhaps not American. Fun to be around/outgoing.
Baseball players -- HOT. a bit of an ego.

Tennis is a dying sport fueled by lack of PR in the pro ranks, not since the days of McEnroe and Agassi has it become relevant or at least on American soil so I don't know what the current perception is but I would still think it's for the privileged. Athleticism and lots and lots of practice to be a good player and mentally tough since it's a solo act.

Golfers- rich and skilled country clubbers.

Soccer- popular sport (outside of US) and posses the complete package. They need speed, finesse, power and endurance. Probably a foreigner...

Baseball- America's favorite pastime, recognizes the game's history and tradition. Can even be a little out of shape to play (see John Kruk) and play well. Must have a good arm and exceptional hand/eye coordination. Roids have tarnished the game in the MLB and the perception is lot of athletes playing baseball are all jacked up in one form or another.

Male players only...

Tennis players - wimpy, effete, bright, conservative, introspective, thin, small, boring, smarmy

Golfers - wealthy upbringing, struggles with weight, drinker, lacks social skills, arrogant, doesn't excel at any other "sport"

Soccer players - hot, fit, great legs, extroverted, coordinated, fun-loving, endless energy, friendly, life of the party, everyone's crush

Baseball player - country boy (or wannabe redneck), all American-type, promiscuous, heartbreaker, tall, average looking with an outsized ego, bad boy who calls his mom after every game. Salesman's demeanor. Worshiped by grown men. Dumb, but charming.
