And yet they have to throw it at a box that make sure you ARE able to hit it or it's a "foul"
well, that would be a 'ball' actually, not a foul, but whatever.
i agree with people who say that football is much more complicated - and therefore more skillful - than we are giving it credit to be.
The problem with baseball is that it has two things that are hard to do - pitch and hit - and the rest of it, even including fielding, are all things average people can do pretty well with a little practice. The pros admittedly do it the best, but the basic skills of running catching and throwing make it easier than some other sports in those respects.
Still, I think football and baseball are tied, and I would even consider putting basketball behind them in difficulty. Highly subjective I know and I'm not sure I'd stick to that, but my 2 cents for the moment.
