How easy could you take someone from one sport and place them in a different sport?

That would put tennis way too high. I could almost guarantee someone from steer wrestling would hit a tennis ball inbounds before a tennis player took down a steer.

Golf is way way too low.

Nah, this is too generous. Golf is little more than a game.

Golf is way harder than basketball

I don’t even know how you begin to rank these. Or what “hardest” means.

Without definitions the debate and list is useless

Soccer is harder than rugby?

Hey, acting is a very difficult skill that takes years to master

BYUCLA

Much more skill involved and the list doesn't put an emphasis on strength.

I disagree that half of those are even sports.

Sports is not the same as athletic competition.

If a winner is determined by a judge, it isn't a sport, it's a competition.

Difficulty in skill and difficulty in athletic ability are 2 very different

cougaman

Racquetball for example is very difficult in skill. Athletic ability certainly

Middle distance is harder than distance or sprints. It’s basically sprinting+.

Everyone’s own sport will always be the “hardest”

Boxing is a good #1. Football is way too high at #3

That would place baseball high, always fun when other athletes tried BP

GlutealGuy

Right. But baseball isn't just hitting. That's only part of it.

Put them on the hot corner, not too many athletes would stop anything there

GlutealGuy

6/5/23 5:42pm

Probably true. But you can say that about certain aspects of all those sports

crack

6/5/23 5:51pm

Again, it’s really whatever sport you played there will be a bias

GlutealGuy

This definitely benefits the 'toughness' sports.
