Oh no - no way.

FENCING. Fencing is the best sport, no arguement, indubitably, etc. Fencing - foil especially.

...then baseball maybe...and football/soccer...

Just watch ESPN SC: NBA, MLB (Giants beat LA on Easter Holiday!!!), NFL, Golf, and every other sport there is... My personal favorite is Baseball, but I'm hooked to just about any sport. You want to talk about the NFL drafts? Vince Young has got to be hands down the next star QB, while Bush will plow his way up to the top. Or how about Tiger Woods finding in his stroke amazing eagle shots. Maybe even that Barry Bonds just might be innocent from all the juicing and beefing that the press likes to talk up. I'm just an all round great guy! Sports, poetic, dorky, smart, chivalrous, respectful, charming; I mean, I can go all day. Ummm... Baseball it is.

AW

ps- have you seen what those indoor soccer players can do?!! amazing...

Football best by far.

It really depends on which kind of best you're talking about. As far as playing a sport, I think soccer/football is great for stamina, basketball would probably aid in agility and all-around health, American football would build toughness (or break down your toughness lol) and other things, hockey...well I don't know much about it, but I would guess balance, stamina, and upper body strength. Lacrosse would be good stamina as well, and also dexterity and upper body strength. Um... everything else does other stuff.

As for viewing, I don't like to watch any sports very much. But if I had to choose one to watch, it would be basketball just because I've played it more than any other sport and know more about it, so I'd be able to follow it enough for it to be interesting.

I know, I'm boring. Deal.

Bah! Baseball! Hands down! Period!


Rei is right though, the Winter Olympics is awesome. Can't believe we have to wait four years now until the next one; I remember when it was every two years and you always had the Winter and Summer Olympics in the same year. Had to walk uphill both ways to school as well through like six feet of snow.

Canadian hockey is also fabulous for anger management. Wanna fight? Take it out on the ice. Tee hee!

Association Football (or soccer as you Americans like to call it) is the best by far - it's fast, passionate, competitive, skilful .... I could go on. It's the easiest to follow, takes only 90 minutes (compared to baseball that takes about five years to finish) and it just is engrained into me. I follow football religiously and will to my death.

As the famous Bill Shankly said, "Football isn't a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that."

Karate and yoga are my favourites if I'm playing, along with tennis and badminton in the summer. I don't watch sports much but my favourites to watch are gymnastics and diving (in the olympics) and snowboarding (in winter olympics).

I don't watch much football (soccer to you americans :wink:) on tv but it is a lot of fun to watch at the actual matches. I know pretty much nothing about baseball 'cept I saw a bit on tv once in Florida but I didn't know the rules so it wasn't so much fun.

Tour de France is also fun to watch if you're actually there. I have lots of photos from that. :P
