Runk, did the big, meanie jocks shove you into a locker a lot? Or were you always picked last?

Ironically, while athletes tend to prefer rap, wrestlers (fake wrestlers, that is) tend to prefer hard rock and metal, or at least what Americans call metal. Chris Jericho took his name from Helloween, for chrissake, and fronts his own band.
Quite a bit of wrestlers like metal and hard rcok. I think in sports where there is more black people like basketball and USA football, have more people into rap and hip-hop.

Not at all, I was relatively decent at sports during my school years. What I didn't do however, was to spend every waking hour thinking about it.

runk, your arrogance is annoying.
Today I was listening to Jim Rome's show and he opened it with a part from Opeth's "Leper Affinity." Was awesome, noone else at work knew it.

Look at it this way. Music, to people who have no interest in it, is a means of attaining greater social status. If you can sing along to your team mate's/sponsor's/penis receptacle's favorite song, they will want you in their social sphere and/or vagina.
Consider, then, that a marginal number of people listen to metal in America, and you will have the answer to your question.

I don't think all atheletes are empty shallow people with mainstream interests. I played sports(baseball and football) in high school and I'm into all kinds of music, including forms of metal. But I do admit there seems to be a correlation between athletes and religiousness. Even on such a small-scale that I came from. Team prayers before every game for example was a normal thing for me. Now I think it's ridiculous, but that's part of the mainstream culture sports feed on. There has to be some NFL player into black metal or from some major sport.
By the way, in the recent boxing match between Kelley Pavlik and Sergio Martinez, Kelly came to the ring with Korn as his entrance music and Sergio with System of a Down as his music. That's about as metal as we're getting with sports.

Well the Korn and SOAD stuff wouldn't be surpising since it's very mainstream. I don't think were going to hear any black or death metal anytime soon on ESPN. The religous prayers would annoy me bit.
