Sports teams

[Vaprice]

Okay so I want to hear your opinions... Who works the hardest at sports? Soccer, football, basketball, hockey, rugby, etc.

I believe soccer, and I don't want to post my opinions right now, but everyone else if you will go ahead.

Boxing, no contest. Strength, agility, balance, endurance. You need them all. Plus you have to be able to repeatedly get hit in the face without being fazed. In football and hockey you get hit, but at least you have a helmet.

Actually, if you count UFC as a sport then they are probably the first. Those guys are nuts.

[Strider]

I'd say hockey is the most trying sport. Considering you're out there for an hour continually flying around a slippery surface and trying not to get knocked on your butt... it's also the reason why I think the NHL playoffs are the most exciting.

[Del Murder]

Yeah, hockey is definitely hardcore. A soccer ball to the face will put you out for a few seconds. A puck to the face will break your jaw.

[eestlinc]

Basketball requires the most continual physical exertion since you are basically running constantly.

[Psydekick]

Gymnastics requires skill and strength as well as gracefulness.

[Rusty]

I personally think AFL. Rugby comes a close second.

You have to remember that football (soccer) teams play three times a week at the absolute maximum. In American sports the schedule is so much more trying, and having two games on consecutive days is not all that uncommon.

It's a pretty close call between Hockey and Basketball, but I'd go for Hockey, as the chance of injury is so much higher.

Hockey hands down. I've never seen a football player get his eye poked out or get 80 stiches in his face. And, there's a reason they wear fifty pounds of pads...

You is correct

[Kirobaito]

Hockey, without a doubt.

Actually awhile back in the nfl a referee threw a one of the flags (they are weighted) and it hit some dude in the eye, rendering him blind in that eye.

>>> Golf?..

If we're talking team sports, I'd say Cricket. Games that last 5 days in a row, where they have to concentrate mentally every second of the game, as well as a helluva lot of physical exertion, especially for fast bowlers. Couple this with the fact that Domestic competition has games that last 4 days as well, International series can run up to 5 matches long, some back to back, and this isn't even including the ODI's and OD competitions in domestic seasons. Plus the fact that any time Shoaib spears down a ball at 100mph that then rises up at your throat and could potentially kill you, yeah. Cricket.

[Del Murder]

5 days straight with no breaks?
