What is the most brainlet sport? Like what sport takes the least

Probably darts or billiards

>kick the ball around for half an hour, try to kick a goal, blocked, kick the ball around for half an hour...

NFL is like chess
Soccer is mindless reacting to a ball being kicked

>>77508664
This. You can win with trash players if you gameplan correctly and outsmart your opponent. Meanwhile Soccer is literally dude spend 200 million on a player and win lmao

>>77508664
NFL is probably the only sport where what happens off the field is just as,if not more important than what happens on it. The huddle, clock management, signals, plays, all of these things are the difference between winning and losing in a football game.

Outside of pretty much Federer, Tennis is brainlet as fuck

They're all just servebots

Coaches and QB's have to be smart. Every other player just needs to follow instructions.

>>77508576
Probably the NFL. Baseball is the polar opposite, though. The sabremetrics are out of control more and more each year, and the majority of GMs were math grads from ivy league schools.

>>77508576
American handegg doesn't really count as a sport though

>>77508698

Upsets in football happen. Pic related is just an example, trash players winning the league, while other clubs literally spent hundreds of millions.

Also, I don't watch American football, but it seems the Patriots always win

>>77508799
No one gives a fuck about the English League though, they're irrelevant in European Competitions.

Brainlet sport = a sport in which physical superiority can't be overcome via technique or tactics.

Prime example is basketball.

>>77508802
hmm it's almost as if football is a quasi-war scenario and our national sport reflects our ability to delegate responsibility in wartime

>>77508937
The most valuable player in the league the past 3 years have be under 6'3"

>>77508802
Actually a defensive player needs a good level of intelligence too. A good cornerback can read a quarterback's play and intercept his pass. A good defensive end needs to be able to recognize a break in coverage so he can sack a qb. Tight Ends need to know when to break away from blocking to make themselves eligible for a pass

>>77509016
This has to be bait

>>77508850
Patriots went ten years before winning a superbowl in 2014. NFL has plenty of parity and even the most elite team can lose on any given sunday

>>77508887

>>77508576
Track and field by far

>>77509110

>>77508887
stop embarrassing us

It's obviously the NBA. Successful black coaches prove my point. It's literally find the biggest most Athletic niggers that have been scouted by a white man GM and whoever has the best nigs wins.

>>77508576

Darts takes quite a lot of skill, I'd bet literally nobody on this website could hit 180 at a consistent rate.

Track and field. In football, pretty much only the offensive line and defensive line can be dumb as shit. Case in point, Garrett Bolles.

>>77508576
Depends. Quaterbacks, coaches, offensive/defensive co-ordinators require skill ans stratergy.

>>77508653
>brainless
>need all that acting skill for dives

>>77508937
Who is Steph Curry.
Who is Steve Nash.
Who is Hakeem Olajuwon.
Who is Larry Bird.
Who is Tim Duncan.
Who is Allen Iverson.
Who is Isiah Thomas.
Who is Isiaiah Thomas.

>>77508802
Wrong. There is an incredible amount of technique and game-planning even at the offensive and defensive line positions. The only mindless position is the kicker (except for when attempting onside kicks).

>>77515036
this isnt an american gameshow u fucking autist

>>77511388
Bolles is autistic, though. He may be dumb as a rock in most scenarios, but he's probably a savant at blocking technique and footwork.

Good post lad.

Track and field. Win genetic lottery, win races and events.

I love athletics, but there's not much to it.

The officials are incompetent, the owners alternate between cartoonish villain behavior and overlooking any negative player behavior, the players themselves are mostly retarded criminals because the literally lose IQ points every week and are from the ghetto, a decent percentage of them end up brain damaged, 90% of the league can't speak coherent English in an interview....it's honestly the dumbest fucking sport in human history.

And I love it. Go Bears.

>>77515165
Wrong. All those guys' brains are mush, and they're trained to only respond to vocal signals.

basketball and soccer take the least amount of brainpower to play.

More like Albert Brainstein

Now that's funny

> It's another euro's get sensitive at coming USA board takeover edition

deal with it, it's coming, there's nothing you can do about it, and you still don't have a super bowl.

it requires:
>Intelligence (game understanding)
>Vision (ability to see build-up play ahead to others or ability to see a pass or awareness of players around you)
>Composure (ability to control the game at any critical situation in the match)
>Leadership (able to guide the youngsters in the field and be able to motivate and inspire others)
>Communication (can be considered a mental ability)
>Decision-making (determine in advance what to do)

think NFL is the only sport where people can be drafted with little or no background in the sport simply due to their physicality

no one is going pro in soccer unless they've been playing since they were extremely young

>Beating a defence using width and depth.
>Astute use of the principles of width and depth led to the final goal of the 1970 World Cup, considered by many to be the best combined team effort in Cup history. Almost all the players of Brazil touched the ball in this effort that penetrated one of the tightest defences ever seen

I'm going to have to say any form of baseball/cricket/rounder etc Any sport where you only have to hit a ball requires no knowledge whatsoever. Can get an orangutan to do it

>>77508576
Nascar, it's almost sport

>>77517599
That's it? The quarterback position is harder to master by a longshot

>>77518120

This is the truth.

American football, at least at the quarterback position, requires vast amounts of sports-related knowledge. You have to memorize hundreds of plays and be able to make split second decisions while being chased by a 300 pound defensive end. Baseball requires pitchers to have an expertise on several technically difficult pitches, while also having an understanding of each hitter's strengths and weaknesses. Even soccer (which I dislike) has a great deal of teamwork and timing, which isn't an inherent skill.

Basketball, on the other hand, is entirely skill free. Literally just pass the ball to the tallest person on your team and they will succeed. Do you really think a player like Shaq would be great at any other sport? He trained his whole life to just stand under the rim, catch the ball, and dunk. That is it. That is how one dimensional basketball is. No amount of knowledge of tactics could stop Shaq from dunking on you. It's not even a matter of timing on when you jump up for a block or how you extend your arms. He is simply taller than you and thus will dunk on you. Full stop.

Consider the following statistic: One in every ELEVEN Americans who are 7 feet tall or taller will play in the NBA at some point in their life. That is a mindfuckingly large percentage of people. And that doesn't even mention all the tall dudes who don't make it to the NBA but still play in college basketball and lesser leagues.

Basketball is purely, 100%, no-ifs-ands-or-buts-about-it about height.

>>77517714
you'd be surprised how smart you need to be to drive nascar...

>>77517714
This. Even their circuts are retarded, literally a fucking egg. Amerisharts have a hard on for this geometric shape.

basketball is really the answer to this. i dont think football or soccer are brainlet sports. maybe a little bit.

hockey players are dumb as dirt

>>77508576
Correct. And baseball

>>77508698
>This. You can win with trash players if you gameplan correctly and outsmart your opponent.
This is literally true for (association) football anon.
Some managers have a higher understanding of opponents tactics and devise plans to beat them. cf. Rehhagel, Greece 2004. cf. Ranieri, Leicester 2015. etc.
But most are lazy af and rely only on their good players skills and chemistry without changing their tactics and strategy much

Been here for 4 years and never seen a "take over" of /sp/ when NFL season started
Also NFL season is short af, only 16 week-ends.
handegg will have a short spotlight in february, but I advise you to quit this board for a solid 5 months to avoid a complete mental breakdown, because the World Cup Behemoth is coming right after

>the one sport in the world that requires three years of college before going pro has the least amount of skillful and intelligent players

Fascinating.
