Literally no sport is safe, "a Florida "handegg" high schooler non starter would walk on to any county team and be the best player in the history of the GAA till the end of time."

Maybe not overnight, but given a few months and yes they would pick it up and dominate.

Name me one sportsperson who changed sports and "dominated" in it after a few months, or over the course of several years.

Maybe it takes a bunch of amateurs a lifetime to learn but not actual athletes.

These people are all actual athletes you cockmongle. They play the game professionally, they are the elite of that sport, they are professional athletes.

You're trying to tell me that if you took LeBron and stuck him in front of the opposite teams goal people would win a contested ball over him? hahaha get the fuck out of here. He would catch it take five strides and be miles away from whoever was defending him and he would boot it through the goal.

Ok yeah LeBron James would have the height advantage over most, but that's not to say they wouldn't stop him from scoring. He might score one or two goals like this, but players would learn the tactic in a game quickly and just shut him out from being able to do that.
I've seen Claude Makélélé (5'5) [One of the smallest footballers] win a high ball over the likes of Peter Crouch (6'5) [One of the tallest footballers], simply because he knew exactly how to outplay him in the situation. And both of these guys have played football their entire career!
