I'm pretty sure it's the blue whale that comes closest to 100 yards
Looked it up (Wikipedia) :
"Adult North Atlantic right whales average 13–16 m (43–52 ft) in length"
"the longest scientifically measured individual blue whale was 30 meters (98 ft) from rostrum tip to tail notch."
You're going to need at least three blue whales to get close, I'd throw in a north atlantic right just to be safe.
If you're from Europe, sure I get that you might not get it. Although a soccer field is about the same size.
If you're American, maybe you're just sensitive about not like sports? A visceral discomfort around sports is pretty common amongst tech people (now that's a "bubble.")
Hell, you don't need to be a sports bro to understand something more specific - say, the difference between a block and charge in basketball. Because sport stuff is just a core part of general American culture. Like primetime TV (even if you don't watch it.)
