Favorite sport, and why?
    #5687415 -

What is your favorite sport, and why is it your favorite sport?

My favorite sport would definitely have to be Mixed Martial Arts. Organization wise, my favorite is definitely Pride. I prefer Pride for several reasons. Better fighters, the fact that they treat their fighters better (higher salary and such), and the rules make me prefer it over other organizations. I'm not one of those Pride fanboys though. I like UFC and totally respect the amount of skill UFC fighters have. Pride fighters just tend to have more skill  :wink: K-1 is great also, as is Shooto, IFL, ZST, pretty much all of it.

Ah, I should have specified either favorite sport to watch or favorite sport to play.

My favorite sport to partake in is Muay Thai. MMA is fun, but my ground work is pretty shitty and getting thrown into an arm bar by someone who has far better ground game than you sorta sucks. I plan to eventually start working on my ground work, but for now I wanna perfect my stand up.

Boxing is fun too, but doesn't have nearly the same amount of depth to it.

Baseball is my favorite by far.

I've been raised on baseball since I was a kid. I like most other sports too, but baseball is really my thing.

Fighting is incredibly unpredictable. A clean shot or takedown can turn the entire fight in a 180.

American football because it builds character. I love the contact and it takes a large amount of skill. Involves many aspects of different sports.

Funny. American Football is real football. Not just kicking a ball around.


Baseball is by far my favorite sport. I was raised on it. My grandfater played, my dad played and actually got a tryout for the tigers back in the 70's and all 3 of my brothers and I play.

First of all, I was raised by a couple of bookworms who thought very lowly of sports in general. They wanted me to be involved in playing sports for the sake of being athletic, but watching/caring about sporting events or teams to them was just ludicrous..so I didn't get into sports at all really until about four years ago.

That said, baseball is definitely my favorite sport. My number one reason why would be this - baseball is a game about decisions, not about time. It has its periods, but the length of each half-inning is decided by the actions and decisionmaking of each time, both on offense and on defense. Baseball is no slave to time, to a dwindling clock.


--------------------
Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I like American Football, and boxing. I do enjoy watching UFC, and Pride as well. The PPV are always cool.

BASEBALL.. I used to play it as a kid.. Now I can't seem to get the amount of friends together to play even a half ass game.. The most I have gotten to this season is throwing the ball around with Yarry on the first good warm day in the spring..

and many people say baseball is boring as hell to watch.. I just don't get it, I am always on the edge of my seat watching a Jays game.

Football and Baseball are my favorites.  I like football more as a whole, but I enjoy the Red Sox more than the Patriots - probably mostly because the weather is nicer to go to games  :tongue: 

I love watching both, but football is more exciting to me.  I was raised by a family obsessed with the Red Sox, so it's been ingrained in me for a long time.  I love Fenway, as old and decrepid and cramped as it is.  I also love Gillette Stadium, it's huge, comfortable, and there's really not a bad seat in the house.

Hockey and baseball. Hockey for sheer action and baseball for the "chess like" aspect. Always stats to review and facts to consider

Both are great
