I read one paragraph and stopped. "Toughest" is the term used. As in, something that demands the most out of your body. That was never a debate. I was speaking of hitting a sphere with a cylind...
god you're an idiot. whatever. there is nothing left to argue about. the rankings were based on "difficulty." you didn't even read the entire thing. direct quote: "In Page 2's Ultimate Degree of...
And my argument is definitely proved. Under the heading Hand/Eye Coordination, it scored a 9.25. That is better than every single other sport. That is the argument I was proving, not agility or ...
blah, blah, blah...hand eye coordination is something some people have naturally, just like some people are naturally strong, or fast. please don't ever talk about football like you know anything about it, because when you do it shows how little you know about it. there is no way to prove that hand eye coordination is the hardest skill in sports. but if you type in "hardest sport" in google, that article is the first link that comes up. football (according to espn) is the 3rd hardest all around sport. aka, you need the most all around skill in order to play it. maybe you don't need as much hand eye coordination as baseball, but you still have to have some. maybe baseball requires more hand eye coordination than football does, but football players need to have more all around skills. they are better all around athletes.
hitting a baseball takes hand eye coordination, but so does catching a 30 yard bullet pass over the middle of the field while a 205 pound safety, and a 265 pound linebacker, are both running into you at fool speed. hitting a baseball is just muscle memory. catching a football is a different situation every time.
go ahead and argue with the facts. try and dispute the authorities (espn, the largest sports network ever). try to deny it, but you are just blinding yourself. your like a person who believes in the trinity, but can't explain how it works. you can argue with them forever, and disprove every thing they say to you, but when you walk away from the door they still believe in the trinity. baseball is pagan false doctrine. football is the truth.
Again, all-around difficulty is different than one particular aspect such as hitting. A good hitter succeeds 30% of the time. That kind of success rate in other sports would be disastrous. But I guess we'll have to agree that we disagree.
HAHAHA..."baseball is pagan false doctrine. football is the truth" I love it. haha
As an outsider...(i know nothing about sports) you both make really good arguments....and I am not yet convinced of either....please continue. haha
Alex keeps arguing the all-around difficulty, which I never argued. If ESPN did a survey on the most difficult "skill" in sports, hitting a baseball will be #1. What they did in the survey he linked us to was average all aspects into one score. I don't disagree with the survey, looks accurate.
But, apparently Alex has never seen Mariano Rivera saw bats in half with his cut fastball. The guy has something like a 0.05 ERA in the postseason. And the hits people got off him were usually bloopers and bouncers up the middle, nothing solid. He's also probably never seen Barry Zito's trademark 12-6 curveball. It starts out at 12 o'clock and ends at 6 o'clock. There are so many different kinds of pitches with movement and guys who have sneaky deliveries, that a hitter has an extremely difficult job out there. Whole teams usually have a team batting average of about .260 to .270. And that is good teams. A 27% success rate? Name any skill in sports where you can win with that kind of rate of success?
yeah, well you're stupid.
I know you are but what am I.
