the use of "athletic"/ "an athletic person"
Dear all,
1. My father don't like baseball. He doesn't like karate, either.
He's not an athletic person.
2. My father don't like baseball. He deosn't like karate, either.
He's not athletic.
Between #1 and #2, which do you think is better?
Thank you!
OP

Both are fine, now.
