or football what a pussy ass sport when a guy at half time can throw a ball through a ring and win 500,000 dollars. how fucking simple is that.

yall cant speak on shit. a O-line in football. DO YOU ACTUALLY CONSIDER THEM ATHELIETS?????????


CENTERS IN BASKETBALL. DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK THERE IS ANYTHING ATHLETIC ABOUT THAT. BUMP BUMP THROW THE BALL 2 INCHES FROM THE HOOP. WOW THATS FUCKING TUFF.

That's not basketball, thats shooting the ball from half court with blind luck for a prize. Basketball consists of playing with 9 other players on the court, 5 of which are trying to prevent you from making the basket. How many defenders were covering the fat guy when he made the shot from half court? Did he have to worry about getting elbowed in the head when he heaved the ball up? Does he have to shoot the ball under the intense pressure of losing his starting position or future hopes for a bigger contract? Is the outcome of his success what thousands of basketball players all over the world strive and fight for every day, a championship ring, in which you must eliminate every team you face in a series? Does he have to face the media after he misses the shot, face his coach, and other players?

Half court shots... I used to do that in elementary for fun.

That's not football. Football consists of touchdowns, fieldgoals, safety's, PAT's and two point conversions, punts and kickoffs, sacks, receptions, rushing, special teams, big contracts, superbowl hopes, intense pressure, fumbles, interceptions, hailmary's, flea-flickers, double-reverses, broken bones, blood, sweat, and tears, just to name a few.

Throwing a ball through a ring... whats that?

These guy's probably work harder than any other positioned player in football. Talk about full contact, these guys haven't seen a play where they arn't trying to kill the guy standing one foot in front of them. They do a great deal of workouts and conditioning, they practice every pissibly scenerio a football game can encounter, they hurt and they bleed from these football games. Oh fuck yeah, they are athletes.

Are you sure they don't rebound, block, and pass the ball as well? There is a technique to rebounding the ball, shooting over the opposing player (who might be bigger than you), dishing the ball out for the assist, timing your jump to block a shot. Running up and down the court every 10 seconds can take it's toll on even the most conditioned athletes.

I have played golf before on an 18 hole course, it was rather fun I must say. Is it easy? Not really. Neither is chess when you first start out.

just like everyone elses statment about golf.

that was the whole point czar in case you missed it.

i love football and basketball and respect what they do. but when everyone wanna talk shit about golf and talk about how easy it is and if a blind man can take a club hit one shot and make it it must be easy.

then ill have to talk about how a guy at half time can shoot a basketball/throw a football in a hoop or circle.

if thats what makes a sport easy then i guess track is the hardest sport. cause i dont see any guy comming in between events in the olimpics running the hundred for a prize.

sport
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 a : a source of diversion : RECREATION b : sexual play c (1) : physical activity engaged in for pleasure (2) : a particular activity (as an athletic game) so engaged in


golf is a sport
just like hunting is a sport
racing is a sport
youre right to say golf is not a contact sport but to put it in the same category as go fish or marbles is very idiotic.

i think it says alot about a person who only watches sports where the guys are banging into each other and patting each others asses. you wont see that on a golf course.

Bowlers are athletes too, and I aint even down with that sport at all.... damn.... the shit still takes skill. Fuck how fit or ripped or in shape they are... damn...
Im not here to nit-pick what's a sport and what isn't, but I will never forgot this quote by Jim Rome..

"Any activity where you can consume acohol and get better, is not a sport."

Of course, he was refering to bowling.
