Oh sweet this topic again.

Basketball Athleticism >>>>>>> Soccer Athleticism

Basketball is by far the greatest sport in the world. There are no boring moments in a game of basketball.
Can't say the same about soccer, baseball, and whatever other sport. Football is decent but still some boring moments.

In terms of both sports there are a lot of baseball players that are unhealthy and honestly all you need is a good throwing arm/hitting arm. This is why I dont consider baseball a difficult sport,
I'm not saying all soccer players are in shape, but I can argue that the majority are and have to be to play soccer.
Awaits rebuttal*

the average football player (aka anyone except the keeper) runs 10kilometres+ a game.

who cares about athleticism? skill>>>>>>>athleticism any day of the week.

and if you think any sport is more skilful than football, you have the mental capability of earl.

Inb4 the games are fun to go to. Doesn't matter soccer matches live blow that away.

If you have never played baseball then it'll be hard to grasp how hard it actually is to play.

i understand that but the same could be said for soccer so... i dont really see the difference.

also the difficulty of the sport does not make it more or less entertaining (for me at least)

I get the feeling you use the same criteria to rank rappers as you do basketball players

im hella confused by what you mean

i used jay z cuz hes universally popular and on top of the game. i couldnt really think of a better example.

For you, yeah. It's like golf. It may be boring as hell to your average spectator, but for those who play golf realize how hard it is to do what Tiger does or what Mickelson does. Therefore, entertainment is found.

Breaking rule number 1 :nonono:

Trust me millions of people would disagree with you that basketball is better than soccer.

ok i agree with you, but theres people who do not play baseball that would still make the statement that soccer is boring, which again goes back to my original point.

i agree, stephano is ignorant.

Ty and Doormatt go for a round or two and Stephano is the one that comes out as collateral damage.

I like it.

It hurts my heart to see the two best spectator sports get pitted against each other (honorable mention to hockey).

Honestly though i can understand why someone with no horse in the race would find either of them boring on TV. There's nothing like being their live though. Baseball for the relaxing atmosphere where u can take in the stadium, ambiance, and the game itself . Soçcer where u take in the fan intensity, trash talk, and emotion. The only two sports I spend money on to attend.

1.8 secs left trailing by 3. We only have 4 players left since we lost everyone from fouls and cramps. opponents inbounding from the backcourt. Was able to intercept the pass from midcourt and take a one dribble pull up 3.got fouled with no time left.

all eyes on me. pressure was nothing. took the first thow. then.... my legs cramped.

miss. then another. and the last.

what a choke job. rap game Lebron James circa 2010.

Vine is pretty cool but I can't get into these new social network things. There all just ego boosters to me.

Kalidogg24 · Post #399 » by **Kalidogg24** » Fri Aug 9, 2013 7:14 pm

Wow looking back at the responses seems like earl and florence are real passionate about soccer. It's a matter of preference some think basketball is better some think soccer is better. Both sports require a ton of skill and to think otherwise is ignorance.

On a side note I recovered off a stomach flu in less than 6 hours!!! WTF right?

I had some bad soup for lunch yesterday and when I got home from work I was jacked up. Threw up a couple times like I partied with GeK and Florence on a typical typical drinking episode of theirs.

How did I recover, this medicine right here!

Activated charcoal which pretty much killed any bacteria or poison that was killing me. Greatest ish ever!

My folks got a bunch of them when they went to London last summer. I think its only available in foreign countries SO Florence and Tugs will probably be the only ones to have access to it right now. I read that a Boston pharmaceutical company is trying to bring it to the states.

If you have a chance to get it load up. Miracle Medicine for sure!
