Easiest sport to play

Sun Jul 24, 2005 2:06 am

Hey. What do you guys think is the easiest sport to play?? :P

Sun Jul 24, 2005 2:13 am

Badminton...The latest craze here...

Sun Jul 24, 2005 2:33 am

Thumb Wars..






















:lol:

If we are talking about disbursing physical strain, and if we count chess as a sport, there goes my vote.

Sun Jul 24, 2005 2:38 am

Jogging.

toc-tac-toe... :lol:


On a serious note, I believe the major sport most easily played in the professional level is soccer, mostly due to the fact that size is not a tremendous issue as it is in basketball or football, nor does it require extreme agility skills like hockey, or superb natural reflexes like baseball.

Sleeping. Well, atleast my sis considers it a sport. That woman can fall asleep at the snap of her fingers, no matter if she sleeps a week long, you tell her to fall asleep & she will.

Hehe, me & my other sister's boyfriend were mocking her at her engagement, suddenly in the middle of all the party & shit, both of us just bent over looking like 2 deactivated robots. When asked what happened we responded with "oh, our bad, we fell asleep." Hehe, that was funny. Well, telling you now, it doesn't seem as funny, have a couple of Smirnoff's, mix with Corona's (don't forget the lime) and after close off with 2 heinekens. You'll see the humor. :mrgreen:

Hahaha, that actually is funny. I wouldn't dare fall asleep in front of guests, but I have trouble sleeping sometimes anyway.

Easiest sport to play on a professional level... I'd say baseball. Soccer requires an insane amount of skill in coordination and balance, and chess isn't easy to win on a professional level.

ping pong is so easy. the first time i played i played like an olympic athlete

Sun Jul 24, 2005 7:24 am

Well it depends; If you got pampered and payed thousands/millions of dollars a year to play a sport like most athletes are, my guess would be that you'd be pretty good at it. But I'd problably say baseball. As long as you aren't a pitcher, it doesn't take much endurance (you could say maybe a catcher takes endurance, but I'm assuming you'd get used to having to stay in that position for awhile), because in the field you're basically just standing there inbetween pitches, and not every ball is going to come to you, and you also sit in the dugout alot when your team is up to bat.

No way. It is widely regarded that the single most difficult specific skill in American pro sports is to hit a 100 mph fast ball with a swinging bat at the right time and with the proper angle so that you at least do not screw up your team's offense. Not to mention that an even slighly less than perfect pitch can easily cost a team two or more hours' worth of effort.

I agree, baseball is the least physically demanding of sports, but it requires specific skills and inherent reflex abilities that exclude most people from playing it professionally.

Soccer is hard to master, technique-wise, but can still be played at a llower lever even by unskilled luberjacks in Iceland. :P

The same could be said about baseball. Not to say you aren't right that soccer is easier, but that point isn't really valid.

Just use steroids! The results and records will come :crazy:

I think horse racing is the easiest. The horse does all the work :)

Mate, you can't even make a post without getting over excited. You probably blew before she even got your pants off.

True. But soccer can be played on lowere levels across th eentire globe, while baseball in only a few select countries. :wink:

That sport still requires a specific physique from the paricipant. You have to be a near feather-weight midget to have a speed advantage... no to mention you have to pump up the horse with more 'roids than Mark mcGwire ever used...

Oh, and steroids increase strength, not reflexes. They actually reduce flexibility unless proper workout regimes are followed. :wink:

Sun Jul 24, 2005 8:53 pm

But baseball also uses power. Barry Bonds, McGuire, Giambi all posted massive seasons when on roids. They were good before hand, but the steroids took them to a new level.

Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:01 pm

Yes, but I wasn't sayni that innate power is what makes a good baseball player. It's the reflexes and the near perfect accuracy... Strength is an added bonus that results in homers and faster pitches... In the case of sluggers, they use steroids to increase their chances of scoring a homer, PROVIDED they can hit the ball in the proper angle in th efirst place. That's the real hard part.

Sun Jul 24, 2005 10:57 pm

I don't really think baseball's easy, I mean you've got to be coordinated, and also if you throw like a girl it can fuck up the whole game. I stick to my suggestion of jogging.

Is there competitive jogging out there? Anywhere? If there was, it would turn into 'running' along the way... :wink: :lol:

i dont know wut the sport is called but ive seen it on the winter olympics where people slide a huge hockey puck lookin thing on ice rink and they sweep the ice so it could land perfectly on to a box. these guys dress in casual clothes, in jeans and such, and im sure its gotta be the easiest olympic sport there is....

am i making sense??

That's 'Curling'... and it's not as easy as it seems... :wink:

Mon Jul 25, 2005 12:33 pm
