There is absolutely no skill involved in American rugby, im sorry im having none of that. I really don't see any skill involved in ice hockey except from the skating itself which is really just a past time isn't it? You're an idiot.

Heart of Northern Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Don't know how anyone would say cricket isn't a sport. Clearly is. Just a shite one. Fair enough that's your opinion. You're wrong obviously but at least you agree it's a sport.Someone earlier in the thread said it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pond nearby and neighbours used to hose water on any available space to let kids skate and play ice hockey. Having never skated before having full body protection with the kit and a stick to hold onto was a boon. Piece of pish.

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I once questioned the sporting merit of the average American football player and was told that their having to remember strategies and set plays was a mark of their ability. Memory. Being able to run twenty yards in a given direction. Pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Sports need 2 elements: athleticism and skill. Track athletics ticks the athleticism box but there's no skill involved in running fast. Track athletes might be great athletes but they're not sports people. Darts and snooker? There's loads of skill but no athleticism. Also not sports. I'd argue that anything that relies too heavily on either athleticism or skill and that doesnt need a proper balance between the 2 isnt a sport. American football falls somewhere in between - the QB and receivers are clearly both very athletic and highly skilled. The majority of the offensive and defensive players? Some are highly athletic. Some really aren't. But is spotting a gap between opposition players to try to get through to sack a QB really a skill? Or running fast to try to keep up with a wide receiver and blocking their pass interception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in the sprints but in the longer races the runners have to pace themselves and know when exactly to break for the finish, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
