What do you consider to be an athletic sport?

Post Reply New Topic

Besides the big sports in the world today that include some sort of ball or stick i.e. Football, hockey, etc. What do you consider to be an athletic sport? Personally the three that comes to my mind would be wrestling, (not WWE ) surfing, and track and field. Wrestling because you're constantly in a tug of war with someone just as strong as you, or stronger where they can lift you up off the ground. Surfing because you need to be in great shape to swim against the waves that can knock you around with ease. Track and field because It takes a lot of stamina to run as fast as you can for an extended amount of time.

What about you, what do you consider to be an athletic sport? Let me know why as well.

Anyone?

You dont play it with that stupid stick and you dont have to handle with any kind of ball.
just punch right and left
its also very profitable. Just one match and you earn more than you and your family can spend till the rest of their lifes.

Totally agree with wrestling and surfing. Mainly cause I did both of those for awhile. Also agree with boxing cause I still do it. But it is no where near as profitable for most boxers as it is for the top guys in each weight class. In some ways it's more of an obsession than a sport.

Track and field are like the original sports and exercises.

To be controversial I'm gonna say golfing can be athletic if you walk the course and aren't getting drunk while you play.

Drinking isn't a sport? Darn!

today anything could be sport. There are PC games teams , proffessionals who eats large quantities of food or icecream, think that you can become proffessional drinker too. And it doesnot cost an arm and a leg. You can make a video and upload to youtube and if your channel have enough views you will get paid.

You can become proffessional drinker of any fluid. Water, beer, coffee, just put it on youtube and you will see. People can send you ideas and scenarios what you should drink. You dont have to think about it. You can travel around the world and drink, make videos and publish it all.

I wouldn't say golf is controversial so much. I remember walking an full 18 hole course while carrying my golf clubs. The last nine holes were nothing but hills.

glebel If you're golfing at the same time your getting drunk you might not be able to focus enough on your drinkink elevate it to the level of sport.

Most profitable is box. And it is not so dangerous as other sports. It also attracts a lot of attention especially girls.
Going to gym is not bad idea too. I like Arnold Schwarzenegger special message


will it crush?

Boxing is safe if you know when to say you've taken enough punishment. I love it because most of the work is on your own and the only time you actually have to interact with anyone is in the ring.

As for girls? I have done alright in that department despite my autism but I don't think they liked me because I box. I don't think it would work against you, but you need to be pretty good for that to be the reason why girls like you.
