Argument on the Best Sport
here's where you can argue on what the best sport is. I'll start by saying soccer is the best!

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Paintballing and soccer are certianly not better than American football. Of course, I can't prove it, because it is my opinion. Football is fun.
Now rugby is definitely the toughest legal sport.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
well, when I say soccer is the best, I mean it. seriously it's not just opinion, a lot of people have said some stuff proving it is, but I would have to look it up. a lot of people say it's the most beatiful sport in the world. american football isn't that great, in my opinion.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Anything's boring if you watch it (except rugby- that guarantees at least a finger breaking per game, if not a wrist or leg ), you gotta play it! Which is why I'd say paintballing, possibly ice-skating, because that's proper fun, but the best normal sport in my opinion would be... rugby. Full contact! They did that as an option in PE last year, which I took, but it was boring becasue they had all the girls in one group, and not to be stereotypical (because I am a girl) but it was pathetic, nobody even wanted to touch the ball. -.-

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
well, i like basketball a lot, but i dont play much nowadays! football, and all other sports, to me, are EXTREMELY boring to watch, but fun to play, usually. Football is fun when u catch it, or when u successfully do a running play. Soccer... well, i dont really like soccer dat much. Baseball can be boring, but its fun when u hit it! Kickball is very fun to play, better den baseball i think!

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
I don't know, that's what some people were saying that was apparently true. I guess because of all the stuff you can do. I don't think there's any other sport where you can do so many different things.

Except tri-ball! They're doing it at school this term, it's basically basketball, football (as in soccer) and rugby combined, hence the "tri" ball

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
im a softball player.....thats my life sport.....the worst place to play is in right field..they only put really bad ppl there for us..i play center and left field......... I've played basketball...i was a center because i was so freaking tall.... it was fun but i wouldnt survive at the school im at this year because they are like 30x better than my team last year. Soccer, i dont get it..but one of my brothers cousins plays.... it just confuses the hex out of me. Football...8 only watch it..but play flag football in ROTC for PT sometimes.. Sargent Benoit is good at that game and plays aginst half the battalion. w/ L.C. Jones with the other half.

well on the ground, yeah, but I meant that you can't raise it in the air and stuff. and in soccer you can get it through the legs too, and there's a lot of ways to do it.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
I've only played field hockey in PE, but it's pretty fun. Another, similar sport that looks fun is lacrosse. Soccers fun, but I'm at the age where if you're not skilled and determined, you don't do well. I'm lazy, and have no particular skill. lol, I can still enjoy it. And running around, hitting people with foam covered sticks does sound fun. but without any particular rules or system. like paintball, but with sticks and stuff.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Siege! There are a lot of rules! Thats why I classify it as a sport! The rulebook is 70 pages long thank-you-very-much.
Amtgard is classified as a LARPG (Live Action Role Playing Game). Its bascally sword fighting, but in a totally safe way. We take a core made of Kitespar, Golf clubs or PVC pipe and cover it in fun noodle (the tubes of foam that little kids take in the pool). And WALLA! A safe sword to fight with. There is also an Arts & Science area to it. So even if you dont want to fight, you can get credit for arts, cooking, singing, ANYTHING. People under 14 can't fight unless they get special permission from the Monarch (Head honcho). Amtgard IS a contact sport so we try to make sure the people that play can take a hit. The weapons are perfectly safe so mostly, no serious injuries.

Wow, that sounds like fun! I like swordfighting, when I was younger the kids who used to be on my block and I would have tournaments-army dodgeball style. We were bleeding more than once...But this is a safer way to do it!

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Ya its the most fun sport ever. Its a GREAT way to get dorks off their arses and onto the field to get some exercise. Lol. I'm the Prime Minister of my chapter, pretty much in charge of communication. If someone is visiting and needs directions to our park I'm the one they call. I'm also in charge of credits. Every time you go to amtgard you get credit which you can add to a class of your choice. Everything from Archer to Assasain to Monk to Barbarian.

Ya I agree. Most sports are boring to watch. I get tired of watching a bunch of people try to steal a ball from one another

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
lol soccer isn't all about trying to steal the ball from another player. passing is the key, you should be good at shooting, and a lot of other stuff. Amtgard does sound like fun, though. I think it could be my second favorite sport. but soccer's still on the top for me. it's all about the passion for the sport.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
If you mean football/soccer, I agree. The only time I watch that is the Olympics and the World Cup, although I usually don't root for the US, just because we think we're so good at everything.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
I suppose its up to the player. But personally I like to think of the audience too. They should be having fun too... I dont have fun at non-amtgard sporting events. Unless me and my crazy friends throw donuts or something. But we at amtgard get a ton of non-family loyal people who come out JUST to watch us fight. Its awesome.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport

Amtgard is classified as a LARPG (Live Action Role Playing Game). Its bascally sword fighting, but in a totally safe way. We take a core made of Kitespar, Golf clubs or PVC pipe and cover it in fun noodle (the tubes of foam that little kids take in the pool). And WALLA! A safe sword to fight with. There is also an Arts & Science area to it. So even if you dont want to fight, you can get credit for arts, cooking, singing, ANYTHING. People under 14 can't fight unless they get special permission from the Monarch (Head honcho). Amtgard IS a contact sport so we try to make sure the people that play can take a hit. The weapons are perfectly safe so mostly, no serious injuries.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amtgard i think i said that wrong--i meant that WITHOUT rules it would be funner. I don't care about ranks, or points, or whatever--I just want to beat the crap out of everyone! lol. Sorry I said that wrong. I knew it had rules, and I hate 'em.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Well join the Iron Mountains (most of colorado and some other states) then! Lol. We're what the other companies call "stick jocks" We dont care about role playing, ranks or anything, we just want to go out and fight.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
yeah, thats more up my alley. Like I said: paintball, but with sticks. Sadly, I doubt the Carolinas have anything.....ironically, I used to live in Texas, where it's somewhat popular, I believe.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
redshurtugal08 wrote: what about in California? I might join if I have the time, with soccer and all... There are tons in Cali! You can try here, though its not very up to date. I'd try the O.R.K. (Official Records Keeper). Clicking on different areas should give a city/state where it is, and at the bottom who is keeping records. Clicking on the name will give you an email address. I'd email and ask when and where they meet. I'm not sure about where each kingdom is located except for my own, The Empire of the Iron Mountains. It includes all of Colorado and some area of the surrounding regions. Then there are kingdoms like the burning lands which has places everywhere from New Mexico to Nevada to California to Wisconsin! So sorry I cant be of more help in which kingdom to search. There is also the Amt Wiki which is an amtgard wikipedia but its not very up to date either. And here is one fun link for you, the amtgard name generator. Try it out. My name is Hikari for anyone curious.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
No problem. Hikari isnt what I got from the generator, its what I chose. When you join amtgard you create a character for yourself much like the RPG characters in the RPG area of SF. Depending on your area they may focus a lot on the roleplay or not. Like I said before, we're stick jocks. We all have names but we never really roleplay. My amtgard name is Hikari, my friends is Akira. They get us mixed up a lot and I often get called Hakira. Lol

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
I get a feeling I'm going to be good at this game. I would name myself different, too. I don't like that name, anyway. maybe I'll name myself like my rp character.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Cuz its the best!
Its funny to see a lot of big jocks or karate kids play amtgard. They go into it thinking they'll be the best and they get their asses kicked. Amtgard is a form of martial arts btw

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
@Valk: still, no matter how fun something else is, I know it will never replace soccer. I like it too much already.
@Shade-of-Red:I think we went through this already. I said you have a lot more control of the ball in soccer, meaning you can take it in the air, in the ground, do a whole buch of awesome tricks... in hockey you can just do everything on the ground.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
I used to hate hockey at school (not ice hockey, just normal hockey with wooden sticks and a ball) because they made us wear long socks and skirts! I hate skirts! Even worse, they made it so you had to have your initials sewn onto the skirt like some stupid private school! *hits people with hockey stick in anger* Luckily after year 11 it's not compulsory... phew.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
Well, goals are very infrequent and all they do is fight and smash into each other. If I want to watch a fight I'll watch a boxing match.

Re: Argument on the Best Sport
No you don't. Watching "the whole team come to kil each other" isn't my idea of quality television. I find it sad that that sport has fallen so far.
The only time I watch hockey is the Olympics, because they can't fight.
