SRL Archive - Discussions & Debates

I think the answer is pretty obvious… I hope this highly international community comes through and backs me up on this one…

EDIT: Messed up the poll, so the answer is: Football! (Soccer!)

So, who do you think is going to win? Inter or Barca?

.

Soccer.

Dang I was going to make it a poll, but I somehow messed it up haha.

But yeah the real reason I made this thread was so we could discuss how Messi is going to singlehandedly tear Inter apart when they come to Camp Nou.

Because SRL needs some more sports!

Hockey is defiantly the best sport known to man.

I think hockey is actually the coolest sport behind soccer. To be honest the only reason I don't like it is because I can't play it! If I could I would, it has all of the most exciting elements of soccer, except that the entire game is like that :)

my opinion:
wrestling - only real men have the strength and stanima to even practice this sport. in my one season of this at school, i not only messed my body up so bad that i cannot even pass a physicle, but now when ever im in extreme physical stress, that any normal person (and most athliets) would just give up, my body screams to stop but my mind kicks my body in the ass and yells never. :)

also, every one says that wrestlers just do it to feel up on other guys, but thats because they have no idea what its about ;)

i dont like the sport of football(soccer), but i do respect the players

Oh god…don't bring back those memories. Sixteen concussions, ten broken limbs and two fatalities last season.. I, personally, will never walk again.

@american football advocates: are you joking? Lets run for about a meter, stop the game for a few minutes and try again. Uh god, now we have to kick a weird looking ball between two pipes, except that happens like four times a game?

Obviously International football is the winner.

Rugby, lacrosse, hockey.

In order:
2, 1, 3

If you think the stopping and starting is a problem you should watch aussie rules football. It's like rugby+american football, aka they don't have pads and they never really stop moving.

I think I'd go 3 2 1 on that list. Rugby? Maybe it's fun to play, but it's like a less interesting version of american football.

I think it'd go 2, 1, 3, as well. Lacrosse for some reason is a really fun sport for me to watch/play, and rugby is pretty bad ass. x] Hockey just isn't my thing.

But don't listen to me; I think sports are a terrible thing and ruin society. (I'm being serious.)

Fukken sports..

1, 2, 3, volleyball, hockey, skiing

Snap I forgot about winter sports (except hockey, but that's played indoors motly). Speedskating is pretty badass.

I remember when Roller blades were the shit. IF you skated you would be uber popular.

Everyone has missed the real best sport in the world, here are some hints. Free to play, requires no special equipment or area. Any number of athletes can compete, even odd numbers. Can be played in all types of weather conditions, no more rescheduling. Most (constant) action per court/ring/field/rink/etc of any sport! You guessed it, thumb wrestling!


As for best sports to watch, I'm torn between women's volleyball and women's tennis.

I would rather watch women's beach Volleyball O.o haha

Haha I thought it was going to be tag :)

From: Cut em2 it
Agreed.

I am willing to concede that soccer and hockey tie for best sport (which is saying a lot).

I concur with hockey. Another fun sport to play is softball. I love playing it, though I would never allow myself to sit through the boredom of watching.

I totally agree, American football is way down on the list of difficulty. I have to agree rugby is better then american football. Basketball is more difficult then american football, constant running back and forth with the occasional penalty shot. Soccer, is almost all running, but there are many small breaks if you have ever watched. They take there time to be strategic to find the most open path and try to take it.

I stole this from another forum, but the kid put it much better then I could at the moment.

I'm a collegiate rower and yes it is a pretty enduring sport. Especially if you are a lightweight like me who has to be between 155-160 pounds during the season, fatigue plays a major factor.
Despite what many people may believe, rowing is about 80% leg and lower back strength. The arms are basically used to hold and control the oars.

Fall races are similar to cross country running in that we row at a low pace for 40 minutes (about 3 miles)in a "head race". The winter is strictly training by running, lifting (crunches) and mostly killing yourself on an indoor rowing machine popularly called an "erg"(short for ergometer).

The spring is considered the main season, where body weight requirments are in effect. Here it is 2000 meter (roughly 6:30 minutes) sprint races. This is where leg power and a high storke-per-min. rating is important.

You have to have a high aerobic capacity and leg muscels to be a good rower. Also a rower's body fat is relativly low (I'm 9% myself). First year rowers find it very difficult because it takes a while to adjust to it and build up stamina.

So yeah, rowing is a pretty hard conditioning sport. Take it from a kid who never played a varsity sport in high school.

I have never seen an american football player be able to do that as well as a rower. In fact I have been told by many of highschool football players, that rowing is much harder then football.

If I remember right, 2 basketball games is equal to 1 2k. When you finish your rowing piece all you feel like doing is just laying next to the erg and just breathing trying to recover.
