what is the greatest sport in the world?

[Hunde Des Krieg]

I used to like baseball... but it is hardly ultimate sport material, how about gladiatorial combat!

 

[Zildjin81]

Football (soccer)

 

[The-Big-D]

Parkour
Very intense and physical but great fun none the less.

Advanced Koala Funball.

It's like rugby but with a Koala instead of a ball, and all the players get hockey sticks.

what rugby wasn't brutal enough? I mean rugby is football without pads or downs, and is a already a tough sport.
I would have to say any form of martial arts, as unarmed combat is humanity's oldest sport.

Most popular? Football (soccer for those Americans who are to coddled)
My favorite? Hockey

But honestly, American Football? Large men in heaps of pads running for 6 seconds at a time and crying if they break a finger. In soccer (and I use this term to differentiate between the two), you break your nose, you get sent back out onto the field. You break it again, sure, we'll sub you, but that only leaves 2 more. My whole deal with the American football scene is that soccer players are considered field fairies by all football coaches from the middle school level and up. This is why soccer is not very big in the US. We are told that it is a pansy sport from a young age when, in fact, it is played with only shin guards as pads and it is a high-contact sport.

Sorry about my rant, hopefully others agree.

Agreed.

I believe Football and Tennis are the two best example of what a sport is...one is team based, the other a selfmade litmus test.

Football is the beautiful game....nothing comes close imo. And I really really HATE American Football ( just call it American Rugby ffs). The only American sport I like somewhat is basketball.

So yeah, Football for me.

Soccer players are field fairies. Have you seen the pros? They whine and ***** whenever someone gently taps them. "WAAAAAAAHHHH, HE ALMOST TRIPPED ME, REF GIVE HIM A RED CARD, BAWWWWWWWW". I can't recall ever seeing a bunch of more pussy-like whiners than pro-soccer players.

I would love to see your American Football players play Rugby...atleast our football players don't cover their whole body as if they are entering Omaha Beach on D-Day. And they actually play 'football'.

Even your macho morons whine...gimme a break.

Curling. Always.

Lawn Mower racing is pretty good...although I do want to see D&D get into the Olympics. How awesome would that be?!

Did it. And I have to say they are equally tough in different ways. Yes, rugby doesn't have pads, but you have to consider most players are going at it 80 minutes straight with very few and small breaks in between. This means that the contact tends to be less powerful because rugby players have to conserve energy (much more endurance).

American Football, however is short explosions of power, since the players get longer breaks (between plays and when the other 11 are on the field) they can create much more powerful (and dangerous) contact on the field. There is where the pads come in. Not to mention other things such as blocking which is basically people punching each other.

American Football. More teamwork-based than any other sport, more popular = more money = higher quality athletes, more strategy, and just more all around fun to play. Rugby is a close second, only falling behind really because it, like most other sports, takes a player, not a team.

Parkour/Free running and soccer (proper football)
