Basketball isn't a sport...

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Mom jokes, how funny. Where is Crashins Popcorn gif?

It's michael Jackson eating popcorn.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

No shit?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

if Basketball isn't a sport, then Curling isn't either.

Damn straight it isn't. That's the Canadian version of shuffleboard. Garbage.

There are only three sports on earth that earn my respect: hockey, American football and European football, because all three require a serious level of physical skill and no one just fuckin' stands around during the games except the coaching staff.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

Not Rugby?

And basketball doesn't? American football is broken down into 40something plays a game, that leaves alot of standing around. Basketball requires a better physical condition than that.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Lacrosse and Rugby should probably seed there too, now that I think about it. Basically any sport where scoring is simple and the game is physical.

It also requires a ton of physical endurance and pain threshold. There's a reason the average NFL career lasts just 8 years.

80% of basketball is jogging.

Really now.

I gaurantee you that NBA players are in better condition then NFL players.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

BTW your logic on the NFL career is flawed as fuck. An NFL team has 53 players on the roster not to mention the practice squad, all the one day call ups and role players that only get a few years in the NFL because they aren't good enough to stay bring the average way down. Not saying football players don't have short careers but the stat you used is skewed.

 

[Vash21]

hockey is the only real sport.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Are you ******ed?

 

[Vash21]

noo i am noot retawded.

Hockey is the only real sport.

this guy gets all the bitches.,

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Yup, you sport the helmet don't you. If you're not then prove hockey is the only sport.

You are a complete idiot if you think American Football is a real sport. Those pussy players of yours have to wear padding so they don't get butthurt by a tackle. Go watch some Rugby, that's a real sport... League or Union. Shit mate, Australian Football kicks the shit out of the Americans version. Although hockey has padding, it's a much better sport to endure and out of the two sports it is the more legit one to wear protection.

And fuck you, I play basketball. Pretty good centre/forward too for a guy who is 120-130kg. I'm not converting to Imperial, because that's communist measurements.

I would argue the pads are to protect the vital parts of the body. How would you like a 300lb lineman hit you unpadded? Not happening.

Aerobically speaking, yes.




On another front, I'm reminded of an article written a few years ago in which racecar drivers wanted to be considered as real athletes.

Well, maybe the person behind the wheel is athletic and maybe not, but the sport certainly doesn't require it. He can be an out of shape fat-ass with a fast car.

What's next....full contact chess?

 

[secret titan]

What's next....full contact chess?

I can see it now..... someone getting their knight shoved up their ass. Hey, at least basketball is more of a sport than golf, bowling, and plenty of others.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Hard to imagine suggesting basketball is not a sport, yet you can watch ESPN, TSN, The Score, and several other sports channels and without looking too hard for too long, I'm sure you could watch poker 24/7.

Poker! A sport? Come on, if poker is considered worthy of a sports channel, how could you suggest that basketball isn't?

Doug, go watch some Rugby first before making this statement.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Rugby isn't a sport because it's not American. Point proven.

My little brother calls Basketball "Tree Hockey."

 

[Vash21]

Doug, go watch some Rugby first before making this statement.

I am frightened simply by watching Rugby couldn't imagine actually playing it.

I like having a head.

Those guys are nuts.

Its not so much a sport as it is an all purpose ass kicking contest.

 

[One Punch Doug Crashin]

Doug, go watch some Rugby first before making this statement.

I've actually played a demo of a rugby game. Don't get any of it though I've seen how they hit. 300lb men hit harder.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Do 300lbs men toss their opponents on their heads? Rugby players hit harder.

Women wear pads, not men. Thus proving the point that American Football is for *****es.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

I wouldn't say *****es but Rugby players are a rare breed of tough motherfuckers.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Yeah, they survive these:
