Adorkable 2,737 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 I'm not a sports fan by any means, but I really enjoy playing baseball. Just seems like a fun and simple sport to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shou 100 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Hockey! I really just started to get into watching it 2 years ago, so much more to it then you would expect. And most people do not watch just for the fights.. "Silly shrine maiden, your two-colored powers are a mere twenty-eight-point-five-seven-one-four percent as powerful as mine!"

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 The Iron Pony Competition. It's got everything from hoof wrestling to ball balancing to chick carrying. I can't think of a sport / athletic competition that has near as much variety. 2 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up. It is a form of seeing." - from "The Amber Spyglass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk friend 1,978 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 As far as athletic sports go, football. And since I'm from Texas, I feel like I should clarify thay I'm not talking about American football. As far as competitive games in general go, Team Fortress 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatonRyu 1,033 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 (edited) The best sport in the world is fencing, of course. - You can fence with either an epee, a sabre or a foil - In epee, the entire body is target. Hits are made with the point and any hit awards you a point. Double touches are allowed. - In foil, only the torso is valid target. Hits are made with the point. To score, you must first establish right of way. The one who attacks first gains ROW, meaning the other fencer must first parry or step out of distance to make the first fencer miss, thereby giving them ROW for a riposte. - In sabre, anything above the waist except the hands are target area. Hits are made with either the point or the edge of the weapon. Sabre has the same ROW rules as foil, with the added rule that while advancing, the back foot may never cross the front foot. This rule was added to prevent the match from being over too quickly. - A fencing match goes to either 5 hits in preliminary bouts, or 15 in elimination bouts. Preliminary bouts are fenced in one round of three minutes, elimination matches in three rounds of three minutes. In sabre there is a break when one fencer reaches 8 points, while the timer isn't used. - Team matches go to 45 points and consist of 9 rounds of three minutes. The maximum score in each round is 5 * round number, meaning fencers can go to 5 in round 1, 10 in round 2, etc. - Fencing is one of the few sports to have been present in all modern Olympic Games. To convince everyone, here are some choice videos for each weapon: Epee: Foil: Sabre: Edited April 9, 2015 by KatonRyu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1FluttershyFan 206 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 I would have to say that football (soccer) is one of the best sports that ever was. I may just be biased to like it because I've played since I was six and have much better foot-eye coordination than hand-eye coordination but I'm also going to learn field hockey andit looks like a lot fun, too. - "Um... I was just wondering if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit?" Fluttershy is Best Pony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackshirt Brony 415 April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 The correct answer, of course, is baseball. Nothing beats a good game of baseball (except when it's 100+ degrees, then you start to wish you were somewhere with AC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 I'm going to out on a limb and mention rally-raid: 1. Take WRC and add in wide-open deserts of Baja & off-road racing, both of which are also awesome 2. Add in MUCH longer distances (especially for the Dakar Rally) 3. And the outright endurance that drivers, teams, and equipment must go through... ...I guess it's the ultimate 'game' for me.

A Black Circle 1,586 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Best game in the world? Why, Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus for the GBA, of course. I'm kidding. It's football. REAL football. The one that's actually about feet. Biscuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,770 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Couldn't resist the chance to post this! I'm not much into sports, but hockey for me has to be one of the best sports. Very much team oriented and lots of fast paced action. Plus it's entertaining to poke a bit of fun at leafs fans whenever I get the chance. (Coming on 50 years without the cup!)

Hovershy 3,814 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 (edited) American Football is my favorite sport. I know a lot of people from other countries like to hate on it, but it really is one of the most interesting sports to watch. There is a lot of strategy involved and it can get really intense! I would never play the sport though, I'd get killed! My favorite sport to play would probably be golf.

ArDee 100 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 (edited) Multi-class endurance car racing, namely the 24 Heures du Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship. High performance (450-900 bhp) race cars designed to take as much as a full day of non-stop punishment at speeds of up to 200MPH, and come out thirsting for more by the end of it. The group of drivers that pilot them, driving at their maximum concentration level for hours at a time and only getting a few hours' rest between driver changes. The group of mechanics that fix them, able to repair even the most nightmarish of mechanical issues to like-new condition in a few hours' time, or less. The engineers and strategists that manage it all, able to cross-reference countless constantly-changing factors to plan out the optimum strategy for the team, with a reasonably high degree of accuracy and success. Without a doubt the most grueling, demanding sport today, simply for its reliance on the endurance of not only the drivers but on the rest of the team crew as well.
