Football all the way. Both for watching and playing. I LOVE the incredible depth and intelligence required to compete at a high level. There are so many subtleties on the average play it's astounding. At the professional level, most of the time the play is actually over before it even starts. It's a giant, violent, chess match.

My brother and I have been playing backyard with friends and family for years. When we're not playing a game, we practice. We have a 2 man playbook that when all variables are accounted for is over 1000 plays long. I used to be a decent QB and am convinced I could have been a bench warmer in collage if I'd gotten into the sport sooner. My brother probably could have been a starting collage WR.

I also love paintball. It's a pure adrenalin rush and bragging rights when you get to the point where you can truly say most shots don't hurt. Unfortunately that's all I can say, I'm really not that good.

Football? Are you referring to Gridion, Australian Rules Football, Soccer or Gaelic Football?

'Itan Atxur · May 02, 2011, 10:20:26 PM

Lol. I keep forgetting this is an international forum. Yeah, I'm referring to American football. I used to play soccer, but the depth of the sport escapes me. I just can't see the strategy. I'm not saying their isn't, because I know there is. I just can't grasp it.

I knew you were referring to American football, I just like to stir! ^^

I'm gonna say rugby league which is an Australian game. I used to play under the number 5 jersey on the wing but can't because of a knee injury which I sustained in a tai kwon do tournament.

Soccer, the one where you mostly use your legs to score or if there is a player you use a Zidane move xD

But I havent been sporting, except for walking and some jogging, since last year.

I've played basketball, soccer ( at school ), tennis, swimming, golf ( via school ), volleyball ( at school ), softball ( at school ) and some other sports at school.

I also had dancing lessons, mambo, salsa and basic of ballroom dancing. What a great time, me and 4 other guys + 15 girls, good times

But I'm guessing this doesn't count??

And what about free-running, I've been to a workshop lately, pretty sick, but I'm not athelic enough xD

Since I can only vote for one, I chose hockey. I like both hockey and baseball pretty much equally though.

I guess that depends on your definition of "sport". For me, a sport requires more than just physical activity. To me, not only does it have to be a competition, but you need to be able to effect your opponent(s). As such, I don't consider golf a sport, but I do consider racing to be a sport.

Ikabob · May 04, 2011, 10:01:27 PM

Soccer all the way for me. And its not just cause I am the insane goalkeeper in the back. I love seeing the free flow of the game with little or no stoppage and the goals and saves that occur now and again just make it all worthwhile to me... But then again... Thats just me. But I do love pretty much every other sport as long as I am playing

'Itan Atxur · May 04, 2011, 10:04:12 PM

I pretty much love every sport I play too. When it comes to watching though, I'm almost all football.

Tsteu nantang · May 05, 2011, 08:49:38 PM

Watching - American Football, Tennis, and occasionally golf.

Playing - American Football, Tennis, Wake boarding, and downhill snow skiing (weather permitting).

bommel · May 06, 2011, 02:51:51 AM

Shooting

But I'm not active since a couple of years. Studying takes too much time

Ftxavanga Txe′lan · May 07, 2011, 11:00:14 AM

Soccer, just because it's so awesome to watch!

I also like hockey, badminton and dance, although I'm good at none of those sports. ;P hrh

Which type of football? Soccer or American Football? I'm thinking soccer...

I've always wondered why we did this and named "non-American football" as soccer instead of following the rest of the world...surely American Football could've been called something else...
