[nonamekiller]

Is someone talking shit about the sport(s) you love?! Tell them why their sport< your sport(s)

Similar to the Baseball vs. Soccer thread, but in here you list your sport(s), and try to convince everyone why it's better than the sport they love.

My favorite sports:
1. Football
2. Baseball
3. Basketball

3. Badminton

I play these sports, and thats the order I rate them.

 

[Pokerking88]

Why is baseball better than football? Please convince me.

It is hard to convice people why other sports are better than other ones, I am saying there, baseball is my favorite sport, because I have grown up playing it, and I love it. Football on the other hand, I havent.

 

[hey guys]

Uh...

What makes Rugby better than Football?

People argue that football > soccer because football is more of a "manly" sport. Well, in football they have multiple pads, timeouts, and breaks. In rugby there are very limited pads, and little to no breaks. Therefore Rugby is manlier than football, making it better than football.

I don't necessarily agree with that logic, but that's what people commonly give me, so I figured it'd work.

Rugby League > Rugby Union

 

[hey guys]

Oops my bad, overlooked Pokerking's list.

Back on topic
my list would be
1. Basketball
2. Ping Pong
3. Tennis.

Ping Pong also known as table tennis is a really intense reaction sport. Is it as physicaly demanding as football, rugby, basketball? No. But i believe mentaly it could be just as demanding.

Why didnt i include football on my list? Well i was never too big of a fan of football. Its definitely watchable tho.

I play soccer, I think it is the most hardest sport ever. You get a 15 minute break and play 90 minutes, the soccer field is very large, so each player (excluding goalie ) will be running 4-6 miles a game.

 

[Sanctuary]

You're saying soccer is the hardest sport because the players jog for 80min? That's not really hard for an athlete getting paid millions.

You're not "jogging" for 90 minutes. You're constantly sprinting, and creating plays.

Soccer is #1.

 

[cescfabregas]

You're funny.... you jog for most of the game.

This. But football (soccer) does require an immense amount of control and pace to be successful. You can't willy nilly toe ball the football and just expect it to go in the net.

 

[Silly Bandz]

Have you ever watched soccer, when i mean soccer i mean real soccer like La liga or the English premiere league. I think youre reffering to MLS, cause they suck balls, nonamekiller.

Eh...

You jog around for 90 minutes. Kicking a ball. Most of the play from a player doesn't take up the whole game.

Rugby it is a physical battle. Forwards must be in ever ruck battling for the ball. The game is even stopped, and scrums happen. Much more physical and requires a lot more effort.

I have played both football and rugby. Football the position you play doesn't require you running around like a looney for 90 minutes. Usually you can just 'hover' in your position until the ball comes near to you. Unless you play like a bunch of 10 year olds, all following the ball. Rugby requires a lot more effort, and physical power.

 

[Silly Bandz]

Kicking a ball? yet again i urge you to actually watch a real soccer game, by the best soccer team in the world. (Fc barcelona) . You will change your mind son.

 

[Silly Bandz]

3 points? lol you only get 1 point for a goal.

 

[Sanctuary]

Well football is a whole sport. You don't just kick a ball the whole game. Of course, there is the option to kick the ball for 3 points, and the kickers are pretty good (They can kick a ball 50-60 yards).

And no, I have not seen the English Premiere league.

I love when people try to simplify soccer by saying, "all you do is kick a ball". You can say that for any damn sport. In football, all you do is occasionally throw a ball, and run. In hockey, you just hit a puck. Get real - no sport is as simple as that.

Football and Soccer both have strategy to their plays. Unlike Football, Soccer players use their knowledge to improvise the plays as the game progresses. If any football team tried that, it'd end in turmoil. All those morons would end up running into each other, and probably lose the ball.

 

[Silly Bandz]

And dont you have to pay a fine if you do an illegal tackle in football?

Have you ever heard of an audible? It's where the quarterback can read the defense and chance the play at the line of scrimmage. Peyton Manning improvises all the time, and has become the best at it.

Or after the ball has snapped, quarterbacks improvise all the time by running the ball on a pass play when nobody is open.

 

[Silly Bandz]

To me football is catching a ball and running for your life to the other end of the field. Thats why all fast people play the sport, whether theyre buff or not.

You obviously dont watch American football then.
Audibles, every team does that. When the quarterback read the defense, he improvises.
