Favorite Sport

My favorite is soccer. Best sport ever. I love it.

Don't play sports. Don't know anything about sports anyway. I did take tennis lessons over the summer though, and I'm thinking about taking golf lessons from a friend.

I play soccer, baseball, and tennis, but soccer is the best by far, I can't go a day without it.

Other: Racing

NASCAR, Paris-Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, Le-Mans, etc.

I don't play normal sports.

Some things I just don't consider sports.

Bowling, golfing, swimming, racing, skateboarding, etc.

Hmmm... that narrow the field a bit.

How about kettlebell lifting? (Assuming you know what a kettelbell is.)

Not sure what is is, but if it's like weightlifting it isn't a sport.

So your definition of sport is basically: Something that involves a running type of motion and the moving of a small round thing.

Kinda narrow isn't it?

No, some things are just activities, not sports. Golf is an activity. Bowling is an activity. Skateboarding is an activity. And so on.

OMFG! You including fricking SWIMMING but not hockey! What is it with people that make these sports polls! Grrrrr! I like hockey the best. Like soccer, but requires more skill, is more fast-paced, and it's harder to score. Plus the hitting and fighting (fighting not so much, but the checking owns!). A sport is an activity in which two or more parties are playing against each other attempting to use an object to obtain points, and at the same time trying to stop the other party from scoring. Therefore, Lacrosse, Hockey, Football, Soccer, Baseball, Rugby, Tennis, even fuzeball, are sports. Bowling is a competition, as are curling and golf. Swimming and weight lifting are exercises. NASCAR is a race. Skateboarding is either a race or a competition.

I voted swimming because I love it, not competitive swimming tho

What about martial arts (competition only)?

Nohcnonk · March 01, 2005, 02:44:15 PM

Very even. Basketball's my sport, but I play others.

Edit: Just think traditional sports people. For example, chess and skateboarding are not traditional sports. Soccer and football are.

Racing, Martial Arts, and Kettlebell Lifting have all been around for centuries.

RC - Hockey doesn't require more skill than soccer. Soccer players run several miles a game, we only have a 5 to 10 minute break for half time, and substitutions can only occur 3 times a game, and once a player is removed he can't come back on.

Soccer is more trying on your body than hockey, or any sport. Soccer players are the most in shape of any sport.
