Any number of “more difficult” sports on this list (soccer, volleyball, softball, etc.) are played regularly by unskilled and out of shape people in leagues around the country.

Golf is way way too low.

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

Pointless to compare, but I think they got #1 right

Tennis is way too high

It's different for each person. Some are just born with better coordination, or

Golf is way harder than basketball

This isnt right at all

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

6/5/23 5:00pm

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

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

DwigtA2RM

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

GlutealGuy

6/5/23 5:02pm

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

Here is a way I might describe hard and easy:

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

GlutealGuy

6/5/23 5:21pm

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

crack

6/5/23 5:23pm

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

6/5/23 5:59pm

This definitely benefits the 'toughness' sports.
