Why does swimming sprints require more analytical ability than e.g. weightlifting?
And what about rock climbing? You need a lot of everything to do that, especially if you go free solo in a long difficult route.

i agree with baseballer
if they incuded boxing and other "contact" sports into the listing then they should have included mma and such
im not sure what criteria they used to define sports as auto racing and shooting make the list while other sports do not

atlyroc is right about baseball. Baseball athletes do very well against other pro athletes in TV contests. It's not the game of baseball, it's the !!!TRAINING!!! for baseball. Throw a lot, weightlifting, medicine ball, sprints. That's why baseball players are such great athletes and it shows in comparison with other pro sports in TV contests. Also it's certain positions like catcher, short stop, pitcher who train the most widely.

Think this was more for the states in mind and I agree with it in part but Rugby should be in the top 5 for sure and archery should not be way down the list, it uses allot of arm strength to get that bow back. Soccer shouldn't be as high like it is.
I think fucking should be a pro sport. Think about it, it takes stamina, endurance (to be any good anyway), balance and coordination (think Kama Sutra positions) and points could be awarded for aggression and cage control... Shit. I may have said too much about my own personal preferences. JK.. but not really.

What about cycling? They train for 5 hours every single day (not pussytraining like soccer where you stand in line to perform a certain exercise 50% of the time). Thats 35 hours (or more) of CONSTANT EFFORT every single week. Also: MMA, Car racing, marathon running (pretty hard to beat those kenyans)

Powerlifting is hell on the body over the long haul. Believe it or not, pro wrestling is also very hard on the body and mind. I know, most people see it as a "gimmick" because it is in FACT mostly scripted out and rehearsed before it is recorded, ...and all the flash and glam, BUT the action in the ring is still 100%. Sure, the slaps and "punches" are usually more of a glancing blow rather than direct hits, but still. The rate of concussions and head&neck related injuries is right up there with other contact sports like rugby, or football.
