Pro strongman is the toughest sport. Literally have to move any implement devised by man, and even other competitors in sumo/arm wrestling etc.

Not trying to defend this, it annoys me too, but this is just them trying to win referee decisions which often win games if they get a penalty, especially in big finals.

It's a lot like how fencers yell at the judge in triumph to try and persuade them that they got the touch.

Until they change the rules and introduce camera replays for refs, this is gonna keep happening.

>>40811833
Ahahaha no. It's an athletic activity that requires direct teamwork, making it a sport by default.

Depending on what you're doing in baseball, most of the skills required for the sport aren't being used at any given time. In soccer, the skills that you use are consistent among every player. They all have the same implements to use to achieve a unified goal: superior control of a ball. In terms of elegance as a game, soccer blows baseball completely out of the water.

Then everything else you say is totally unsubstantiatable subjective garbage.

I'd rather lose all my gains than watch baseball. But to be honest, I'd say the same thing about soccer.

>>40814691
>basketball is great because it eternally btfos white people
Get out of here DeShawn

>>40814520
Except for scrum, which is stupid dangerous and adds no additional depth to the game. Also not even having a minimal foam helmet. Makes them all seem like idiots.

But other than that, yeah. It's pretty elegant game.

Football is about finesse, not physical prowess - although being nimble and light footed sure helps.

It is without a doubt much more tactical, delicate, detailed and plain beautiful than any of the other big sports (NFL, NBA, Rugby, etc.). It's a true measure of technical ability combined with good physical attributes and general spatial awareness and intelligence.

Honestly if you haven't played football at a reasonable level you won't appreciate just how god damn fast it is.

>>40811960

Hasn't played it

OP is a faggot for praising football. You gotta have strong upper body to fight for the ball, your legs must be the perfect combination between explosiveness, resistence and strength. Anyways, phisically, it neglects the arms (goalkeepers don't count) and kinda the torso a bit. When it comes down to cardio, it relies on position, you could run 10 km, or 3.

Exactly, football can be fucking brutal. Sly kicks to the shins, picking yourself up the 20th time from getting bustled by hulking center backs, the constant running around to stay with play, bursts of sudden speed if defending or attacking and the pivoting on joints repeatedly. Played in all sorts of weather, routinely on rough pitches. The injuries I've seen from knees, broken jaws, broken legs, ankles popping

For the sake of the thread though it isn't the most athletic sport. Rugby incorporates many of the ways of football but you're taking hits, running and getting up constantly, unforgiving physicality and violence. Water Polo is a challenger too but wrestling probably takes the biscuit, 1v1, strength-endurance-intelligence-speed-conviction the lot
