Every position has a completely different role and theyre judged by completely different skill sets. That's why the only sport with a unanimous GOAT is Basketball, because all five positions can do the same thing.

January 20, 201214 yr QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jan 20, 2012 -> 12:07 AM) omg LOL. nascar is not a sport, i guess me driving on the eisenhower for all these years without a single accident and/or speeding ticket makes me an athlete lolololololol /greenletters Racing is a very physically and mentally demanding sport.
January 20, 201214 yr QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 05:55 PM) It is not. I sure don't care about post counts. I just get irked when people are so sure about something for which they are completely uninformed. You are so sure wrestling isn't a sport yet you have no information to base this idea upon. By the way just to clarify the situation, I hope you realize I am not talking about the TV type, WWE wrestling. This is just my opinion but I consider it an informed, educated opinion. I have never wrestled in my life and have no interest in watching it but from what little I have seen and been told about MMA if you know how to wrestle you can pretty much kick some serious ass. I am not sure how it is not the exact definition of sports as I believe it is the oldest recognized sporting event and it takes smarts, strength and quickness.

It's kinda gay looking, maybe because it started in Greece?

I drive alot and I'm still fat (not huge, but I need to lose 20 lbs). An F1 drivers fitness regime would destroy many athletes. The average heart rate during a 90 minute race is 170 bpm. They have to withstand 3+ g's in turns. Theres a tremendous amount of force transmitted through the steering wheel, requiring a very strong upper body and arms. And you are doing it in 140°+ heat.

All sports have different skill sets for different positions , big difference between what a Center does to what a PG does as in what a starting pitcher does to what a SS does...even in hockey.

When I said that I meant that all 5 players can score, rebound, assist, block, and steal. My bad.

January 21, 201214 yr i was hoping for a Gary Payton argument...just cause itd be funny....why are we comparing 2 different sports here?
