But not really. It doesn't really get "safer" until they start putting the hooks in the bull.

And even then, if you can't kill the bull correctly, you probably won't be a featured matador for very long in addition to the bull possibly goring him if he doesn't get the head low enough.

So, it covers "toughness" in both danger and skill.

OP here, as dangerous as bullfighting is, your opponent is not a human, which in my opinion prevents it, as well as hunting and fishing, from being a sport. So just pretend steer wrestling was never on my list, because now I think it shouldn't be.

What's 'toughness'? If by toughness you mean hardness, get baseball, tennis and especially AUTORACING off of that list. Soccer's pretty pussy too, but it's more physical than you'd think watching it on television.

>>492435
Well then he's a faggot. Neither of those should be sports. Sports should be physical competition, not fucking driving and being a sand nigger.
>>492440
Agreed. I play both, lacrosse is at least just as physical as hockey. It's just as taxing on the mind (if that has anything to do with toughness) and it's the same physicality.

And OP, you underestimate how physical basketball is. If it wasn't physical there wouldn't be a NBA, there would only be european leagues and shit. It's much more physical than soccer and such.

I'm a Canadafag and I'd say rugby should be before football. I'm not touching half of the list because I've never done them.

I think motor racing does have some toughness involved to be very good at it. I know for a fact I wouldn't have the balls to drive that fast.

It was even more so back when death was a regular occurance, but safety has taken that out of play to the most part. Admitedly, mental toughness more than physical, but it's still fucking tough leaving the braking point that late before turning.

I'll be the first one to tell you how much I hate watching NASCAR or almost any other racing, but NASCAR is tougher than it seems.

If you don't think it's tough, go out to the race track sometime.

OP here, I've played both basketball (frequently) and rugby (rarely) and neither of those are very tough sports. I have indeed been rocked on a rugby tackle but that was because I was mismatched--a back tackling a forward, but I digress. The sport is not that intense because of A. a lack of momentum B. an exact tackling method.

I play both basketball and football and basketball is not that physical. Pulling down boards is indeed dirty work and driving down the lane can bring some contact, but the game is just not that tough, even in a pick-up game without refs. Don't get me wrong, I think basketball requires the most finesse and dexterity out of any sport, even more than hockey, but the sport is just not that tough and I've never been hurt playing basketball except for jamming my finger on the ball.

Finally, more people who agree lacrosse is a stupid wussy sport. The only kids who do play it around here are over privileged white kids who take themselves too seriously, suck at other sports, and think it's a tough sport because of the "contact" (despite there being pretty much none). And nothing annoys me more than seeing the people who play it CARRY THE FUCKING STICK WHEREVER THEY GO. Jesus Christ, I was eating at a restaurant by my old high school, and this fucking kid walks in the god damn place, carrying his stupid fucking stick. God damn.

>12 Tennis
>13 Baseball

When has anyone EVER gotten hurt playing tennis? I think baseball needs more credit, chance to to get hit by 90-100 mph fastball is pretty rough, or a base runner coming home with a catcher blocking the plate, and will try to take the head off of the catcher to jar the ball loose.

Pete Rose ran the catcher in a close play in a All-Star game, knocked the all-star catcher out and he never played again.

A kid died recently playing recently by taking a line-drive to the chest.

Randy Johnson throwing 105 mile fast ball right past your head is more dangerous than a 140 pound tennis player having a hissy fit about his last shot being called out.

Replace soccer with baseball. Only thing I consider dangerous about soccer is the drunken eurofag/spic fans pelting each other with bottles and knives. But If i was at a soccer game, the boredom would prompt me to start a fight just to kill time before the clock mercifully winds down to zero in another thrilling 1-nothing match.

Hockey being ahead of football discredits this whole list, may be lots of fight in hockey. But then again they are all the size of junior high school football players. Let alone NFL players.

In football, you have 250-300 guys going after 180 pound guys.

Unlike boxing, there isn't weight classes in football.

When's the last time you saw a hockey player get carted off the field with broken necks,backs, legs.

Worst I've seen in hockey is the feeble right-hook of some figure-skating reject.

I'd like to see your average rugby player (5'9 155 pounds) stand up to the average NFL player (6'5 250 pounds).

Put Adrian Peterson, Devin Hester, L.T, Clinton Portis, Randy Moss etc, or any group of NFL Wide receivers and runningbacks, and make a Rugby team with them. It would dominate. No way any lilly white 150 pound englishmen could bring these guys down.


It would be men against boys.

The average North American hockey player is bigger than a defensive back, but smaller than a linebacker.

But guess what? Hockey requires a little more than just running into each other, and thus reducing the necessity of the extra bulk.

More skill, more endurance, comparable awareness, less padding, and less "protect the sissy players" rules.

Other than these rare hits, there's nothing tough about lacrosse. Unless you leave yourself vulnerable, you aren't going to get hit. There's just too much room on the field. It's much more like soccer than it is hockey, and it's nothing like football.

The sole reason why gridiron players threw their bodies like that is due to the protective gears. Remove them and chuck those players into a rugby team they will get injured fairly quickly. Also, since rugby is all flesh on flesh the direct impact felt is not necessarily less than in American football.

I'd rather be tackled by a 160 pound unpadded rugby player then a 250 pound NFL player with pads..

Seriously, anyone plays/has played football will tell you getting hit with someone with pads hurts a hell of a lot more than without, even when you're wearing the same shit.

I would love to see the NFL's leading running backs and offensive linemen all on one Rugby team. They would utterly dominate everybody.

They are stronger, faster, and bigger than your average pro rugby player. There is no denying this.

There wouldn't just be injuries, there would be deaths. They would kill the best Rugby team out there.

The reason why football players wear pads is because when the game began in the early 1900's, the sport was almost outlawed because so many college students died playing the game. They were forced to start wearing helmets and shoulder pads. Thats how utterly brutal the game is.

Which is why the NHL is shit. Outside of Canada, no one gives a fuck about Hockey. The only interesting part is the fights, and they barely even allow them to fight anymore.

I'll admit it takes a lot of concentration to skate, control the puck, and worry about some other guy slamming into you. Which is why hockey highlights are really interesting to watch, but sitting through a whole game? *yawn*
