Of course, but the way those mongs use it is basically to shit on other, typically non-US sports.
Yes, I agree that it's obnoxious and usually misleading.

Totally different spheres of athleticism and it’s relative. Athleticism is one skill like endurance is one skill. In the NFL a player who is not naturally (athletically) gifted per say can be very successful with the right set of reflexes, instincts, IQ and intelligence. You hear the term “some things just cannot be taught” and that’s what it is referring to. On the contrary there were fighters in MMA who did not have a bone of athleticism in them and were successful at high levels (Mark Hunt, Butterbean etc).
Low centre of gravity the guy is in the ZONE all the time.I never heard A-level outside of Sherdog, but everyone has a term for it. Some guys are just faster, stronger, and more athletic even compared to other pro athletes. Sproles is slowing down a bit, but he was one of those guys. HIs ability to accelreate out of a cut, his balance, and his overall quickness makes him really fun to watch.
Now, if you're decrying the use of A-level to assume that no one in MMA is a great athlete or that everyone in the NFL is a great athlete, then I agree with you. It just isn't so. But take a guy like Yoel Romero; he's way more athletic than most of the UFC roster.
