Make it 5 for basketball.

BASKETBALL SUCKS!!!

also, joka, anyone who has EVER tried playing golf loves it.
You've obviously never tried (after taking a couple lessons so that you get a decent swing).

Give it a second chance, you'll love it.

As for tennis, I enjoy it quite a bit, and I've played it my whole life, but I know many people don't like it because it's not easy to pick up quickly.    

Race car driving is boring, but I don't hate it like I do basketball.

Football can be really exciting or really boring.

Baseball pwns you all.

I have, go down to the local golf range....after hours, borrow a couple hundred balls and swing away. The swinging part is fun, seeing how far you can hit..man that ball flies long  Wink  ....But as a "sport" its boring like no other thing can be boring.

Tennis...Ive played alittle...its boring to play, and hundred times more boring to watch.

Snipe give basketball a chance, a proper chance..its fun to watch AND play

Soccer sucks because it's for the pussies that are too afraid to play Rugby.  =P

And anyone that says "try and play soccer, it takes such skill" has either not played both or is full of shit.

GO ALL-BLACKS!  Rugby World Cup games this weekend.

Soccer is the best sport, without question.

Worst sport would have to go to ( not listed ) Rugby or Cricket ( what kind of a sport do the players stop for tea, and bring tables out onto the field at 4:00 during? ).

Buccaneer, out of all the sports I play/have played competivly, soccer is the one that requires the most skill.

Basketball often comes down to knowing how to use your screens. Football comes down to ( I'm a Wide Reciever and Defensive Back ) being faster than your oponent. Baseball requires lots of skill, however, lacks the teamwork of soccer.  Hockey's right up there with soccer.

I'm not "afraid" to play any sport ( I mean fuck, what else can go wrong? I've broken my knee skiing, both arms playing football, my ankle ( soccer ), my nose ( basketball ), and my wrist ( baseball ).

Soccer and Rugby are far from the same game. Soccer requires speed, the ability to see the full field, the abliity to see passing lanes through multiple defenders, 2 strong feet, and most of all - the ability to combine fakes with dribbles to beat your oponent.

Anyway, in conclusion: Soccer owns, Rugby and Cricket suck.

No way. Rugby kicks so much ass. Ahh man...I love me some Rugby. The worst sport up there is Basketball, because ever since 8th grade, I've hated it. I ruined my left knee playing basketball, sniff sniff. I still have a tad bit of a limp from that. But ahhh...Australian Rules Football is the best sport, ever. So cool to watch, lots of violence, and it's confusing as hell, which makes it fun to try and figure out what's going on.

They stop for tea in Rugby?  That would be news to the whole Rugby world.  Don't be an idiot Typhy.

And I'll bet you've never played Rugby.

Watch a rugby game sometime before you say that.  Think of all the violence in both soccer and football, and then take away all the padding.

Which one of those skills don't you need in rugby?  

I get the feeling that you don't know much about rugby at all Typhy.  I don't think you've even ever seen a game.  Try catching the World Cup, it's going on down in Australia (matches start this week).  

If I had to pick a second sport, it would be Lacrosse, especially the way the Native Americans play it.  Fencing is also a very cool sport.

You did make me change my statement though Typhy.  I said previously that if you said soccer took more skill you either hadn't played rugby or were full of shit.  I need to change that to an and/or now =P (please, give me a break with that tea time bullshit).

The tea thing is in Cricket, not Rugby. Perhaps I wasn't clear.

And have you ever even seen a rugby match Typhy?  Know how it's played or the rules?  Because your post and the skills you list make me think you are talking more about Hurling then Rugby.

Aw.  Fencing seems like it'd be a lot of fun, but I really dunno if there's anywhere to get started around here...

Curling is an activity, not a sport, as defined by the BCR sports scale.  The first determination is if it is something that is normally done while consuming beer (or other alcoholic beverages), and you get better at it, it is an activity, not a sport.

For example.  Bowling is not a sport.  Neither is horseshoes or Bacci Ball.  Golf is on the bubble, but leans towards activity the way everyone I know plays it.  

This is why Softball is an activity, while Baseball is a sport.  You've never seen a baseball game where you had a keg setting on each base and you had to down a mug before passing, have you?

Soccer by far out of the "popular sports" because it is the sport that requires the absolute least skill (there is a reason why AYSO is so damn popular - because ANY kid can play the game, regardless of age and skill level). Any "sport" in which anyone can play with ease just plain sucks in my opinion.

As for rugby Bucc, i'll put money down that the Wallabies will smack your All-Blacks.
