What sport do you suck at the most?
Baseball for me I guess. Of course hitting a baseball is one of the toughest things especially if you have a decent pitcher you are facing.

Hockey. I was always decent at floor hockey or whatever we called it in gym class, but on ice I wouldn't be any good 'cause I don't know how to skate.

But of the sports for which I actually have the skills, probably soccer. I have terrible foot/eye coordination and really bad stamina. The stamina messes me up in basketball, too, but I have quick hands, a decent jumper, and can pass well. I just get my feet tangled trying to pass or shoot a soccer ball.

Hockey. I can't skate for shit and I'm not even good at floor hockey or anything. I think I'm pretty good or alright at most other sports, I really suck at "extreme" sports though.

My main problem with basketball is that if you even slightly touch someone then that's a foul, wheras with football (proper football) it can be a physical game which I enjoy as much as the skill and tricks.

That's only half-true. If you even breathe on one of the game's superstars, it's a foul. But the stars can practically run you over and not get anything. This is the reason why Shaq is considered the best center in the game. If officials actually called the same fouls on him that they call on everyone else, Shaq would foul out of every game he's ever played.

But that's more of a problem with the way the game is officiated than with the game itself.

I will agree with you about how physical soccer is. It is a brutal game, but I just can't sit and watch a game, because other than the occasional big tackle or the even rarer goal, it just doesn't seem like anything happens.

At least with basketball, points get scored fast, but a team that plays good defense (see: Detroit and San Antonio) is that much better than the rest.

I'unno, it just seems less random to me than soccer.

You can hit people just as much in basketball as you can in soccer, using that as your reasoning for not liking the sport is bologna. I don't get why people who are ignorant about a game say it sucks.

Football used to be a physical sport, but the modern refs have pussied the game up so much, it's a joke, we had a player sent off today for shirt pulling.

And the best part of football is where no-one's scoring, but you have a tense match, in basketball, if someone's dribbling up the court, chances are they're gonna score, they get 2 points the opponents do the same and the game finishes 95-97.

In football, you watch your team playing at 1-1 for 70 minutes, there's no goals being scored, but as every shot grazes the post, you go to your feet, watch it just miss and the entire stand goes "YEEEAHHOOOOOOHHHHH!" I'd hate football if people scored all the time, close finishes are what make the game worth watching, and while it's nice to see the odd goalfest (Aston Villa 4-4 Leicester City in 1995 springs to mind), I'd probably hate it if all matches ended in hockey scores.

Golf or soccer...I was forced to play soccer in jr. high, and it was not fun. My uncle takes me to the driving range once in a while, and I miss the ball some of the time. I suck at pool too, but I would own all of you in air hockey though.

But seriously, that is one of the single most retarded things I've ever heard in my entire life.

Theres absolutely no denying every sport takes special skills to play and play well. Just because those skill sets are different doesn't make anyone harder than the other.

I could easily say soccer is pussy and easy because the goal is as wide as the side of a barn, but I don't because that is just a retarded assumption.

Mike, that post was equally as stupid.

Yeah basketball games are generally high scoring and end up 95-97 or something to that effect. So whats the difference if someone takes a last second 3 point shot to win the game, and someone takes a last second shot on the goal to win the game? Absolutely nothing. Just because the game and its rules are different doesn't make any one better than the other. This discussion is pretty subjective and arbitrary.

It all comes down to the cultural barrier, always going to be there.

Speaking of stupid posts...

I think you'll find I didn't say one sport was better than the other, I might have been a bit harsh on basketball, but no harsher than anyone's been on football, the main point of my post as you can see if you read it properly is explaining what exactly people see in football, I enjoy playing basketball, and used to watch it, so I'm not too biased either way.

Nah I didn't say you did but I said that because this always comes up in these types of discussions, usually morons who don't know how to talk in a civil manner.

I understand exactly what you're saying with soccer going down to the wire with last second goals and every shot making you hold your breathe, I am the same way with American football when a team is driving in the waning minutes.

Sorry for coming off as a dick, but Cool King's post just struck a soft spot.

Basketball, I'm ok if facing crappy or even just ok opponents but I am easily suckered in by anyone with any real skill.

I am pretty good on Defensive rebounds though.

Even though I love watching and playing cricket, I'm pretty bad at it. I'm alright at catching the ball in the outfield, but batting: I'd probably be pretty shite at baseball too, even though I've never played. And hockey no doubt. I went ice skating for the very first time in Rutland, Vermont last week, and what a funny day that was.
