Your favourite sport reflects your intellect!

salmonshirt

I spent about 5 minutes watching Formula One tonight and came to the conclusion that it must be one of the dumbest sports on the planet. In fact, everyone I know who likes formula one is lacking in some vital brain cells.

I believe this to be true with a lot of sports. Take American Football for example. Another mind numbing game and the national sport of America. Need I say more?

Aussie rules is another. Not the sharpest sport for not the sharpest people.

I could go on and on but I won't. Just a random thought for a Sunday night. Oh look, a driver has taken over another car....oh wait, he hasn't....thrilling!

So what's your favourite sport?

Mr Benevolent

I don't like any sport. Well, except lesbian nude oil wrestling, obviously.

ShatterProof

Wumming

Michael 09

You clearly don't understand any of those sports.

May I suggest that you watch 'Senna' and then comment

The Left Hand Of God

Not into F1 and have never been.

But in HD IT IS FUKING AWESOME!

It's like I am driving the car.

I should have mentioned that my favourite sports are soccer, rugby and cricket. Intelligent games.

Formula 1 is without doubt the smartest sport in the world. The people running the teams are scientific geniuses. The drivers, must think instantly or they are in the wall. The whole sport is a science. Remember that guy you went to school with that was amazing at maths? He is the type of person in Formula 1.



Also American football is the physical version of chess. One wrong move and you have lost. Its for tactical geniuses.

Whats so intelligent about "soccer"?

All sports are boring as far as I'm concerned. Or rather watching them is boring. I don't see the point in sitting around watching other people play a game or run around or whatever. I don't see how watching someone kick a ball into a net is any more exciting than watching a car overtake another car.

Soccer is not intelligent. In fact it's one of the stupidest sports.

I wonder what Judo & Brazilian Jui Jitsu say about my intellect, or lack of.

It might be said by some that I've been tapped out, choked out and thrown about so much that I've no intellect left.

My favourite sport is either thread closing or troll hunting.

Watch Barcelona in action. The vision and technique players like Xavi, Iniesta and Messi have is unbelievable.

sorry your confusing being intelligent with being dumb I think

johnmcdnl

soccer is just looking up seeing that someone has a bit of space in front on them and passing it to them... then when that player gets the ball they look for someone else to pass it too... if the defender comes to close they fall over and claim they got a kick in the shin which caused them to collapse like a bulldozer hit them...

a 5 year old girl would be tougher than them but anyways... don't see how it's intelligent at all...

then you get the old lad like messi who thinks the games are for fun so just tries to show off which can be nice but all it is really is a just a little wee flick and the defender is too clumsy to react fast enough... not really genius but looks good i suppose

Irish Guitarist

The drunken football fans that I saw all over the town tonight weren't exactly geniuses.

PuddleMooders

That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. It takes a lot more 'genius' to perform in F1 than it does to kick a ball up a field. Next time you go to criticize a sport how about you actually try it first.

Advanced chess!

Being a professional sportsman in any sport takes intelligence and skill. Otherwise everyone would be doing it

Well OP, I'd say you're incapable or unwilling to appreciate complex and tactical sports.

Formula One is incredibly tactical with strategies and pit stops and plans to maximize performance.
Some of the best automotive engineers in the world constantly battling for solutions like traction control which came around in the 90's

Baseball is the national sport of America
For football your coordinators have to design plays, trick plays and constantly try to find mismatches and deceive the other team. Chess is a good description for it

Are you unable to see this? And what does this say for your intellect?

Eh nope...just really boring. I do understand that there is a car race and the winner is in the car that wins the race. Hardly rocket science. Cue your ramblings of pit stops and pole positions. Just padding to make people like you think it's intelligent.

OP, there is little to no intelligence in Rugby whatsoever. As for American Football, you couldn't be more wrong in saying that it is a dumb sport. It's probably the most strategically and tactically complex sport out there after soccer.

I'm not a fan of F1 but to say it's a sport of the stupid is absurd. I honestly can't think of another sport which relies so heavily on intelligence.

Rowing, now there's a stupid sport
