If you could be great in only one sport, which sport would you choose?

[jack1924]

Hmm, for passion reasons, either (US) football or hockey.

For money-to-time-working purposes, assuming that I’m just naturally ridiculous at the sport in question and could just go out there and dominate with little effort and training beforehand…. I think I might go with golf. I’ve never golfed in my life or even watched a full match on TV, all I know is those guys work like six days a year and make BANK, lmfao, and there’s probably relatively low injury risk. Plus, it’s a rich people sport, so the endorsement deals are coming from high-end companies. And you can play into your senior years if you want.

One thing I’ve learned about myself as a worker: I have absolutely no problem with hard work. I have a problem with LONG work. My max effort is always for sale, but my time, I’m EXTREMELY stingy. You can’t have my TIME, that’s my issue. I just don’t have forty spare hours in a week to give to anyone else besides me. MAYBE I can do twenty and still feel like my life is my own.

So golf seems like it comes with a lot of down time, and even more important than money to me is free time and the ability to live by my own schedule without expectations from others. Golf has a few tournaments each year, so it seems like they’re playing actual golf like two weeks a year, haha. That’s EXACTLY the kind of free time levels I’m looking for, haha.

Hmmm, as a kid it would have been basketball hands down. I'd have starred for my favorite college team and then NBA.

I'm a little older now, 82 games a year, more if you make the playoffs, you don't get to choose the city/state you play in, flying all over non-stop. You can only play until about age 35 or a little more before age knocks you out of league. I might go with golf now. 4 majors per year, you can kind of pick and choose which tournaments to play and which to skip. You get to stay in the place and hang out for the week. You can join the senior tour and play until your late 40's or in your 50s.

It is close but I think I'm leaning towards golf 55% to 45%.

Either Swimming or Dancing. Both sports that boost my mood.

[IslaTheWitch]

swimming

[D_Bone_Steak]

Did I already say water sports here? No? How in the fuck did that happen?

I want to pee on as many women as possible. I've got a head start on peeing all over them for years... I want to be the world champion though. I want to pee on your wife. I want to pee on your girlfriend. I want to pee on you Mom and Grandma's. I need to pee, and you need to get peed on.

It's a sport... and I'm going for the world record. Champion... winning.

[handsomelad70]

Really, D_Bone_Steak? Why, bud?

[jack1924]

@handsomelad70 already reported him. What’s wrong with you @D_Bone_Steak have some respect.

[handsomelad70]

Even if he doesn't like Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding or the Rationals !!!

[NathanDavis]

I'm already great a few... but, if we're talking about actual great, and going pro

I love soccer, and what can mean to people and to me... but I would pick American football instead because that game is so much more interesting and exciting for me to play

[molonski2]

Well for me , having pursued this outcome - and getting not remotely even close , then watching others wayyyyyyyyy better than me , not even getting close , my answer is GOLF , I can only imagine , how it feels to be like Scottie , and just basically nearly winning every week , when he is not even at his best.

Or of course The Tiger Woods corporation , changed golf for all to see , great sport.

[Titanic1912]

I wish I was still good at baseball. When I was playing little league, I was known for my glove, but definitely not for my bat. I couldn’t even hit the broad side of a barn. I was a great catcher and second baseman.

[handsomelad70]

Baseball, because my cousin Ferguson Jenkins in in the Major League Baseball Hall Of Fame.( My cousins Tony Dungy and Reuben Mayes are in the NFL and U. S. College Football Halls Of Fame, respectively.)

[SoJust]

I am successful in basketball, but if I wanted to be successful in only one sport, it would be basketball.

[DaBiggestBird]

I guess Batman since I’m retired from basketball, and I actually kind of struggled in Batman since the rackets would break whenever I tried to use it.

[Iron_Man]

I have been great. I played with pro bowl and Hall of Famer football player before and I’ve dogged him

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Self-defense / Karate / Black belt

[Mr_twoface]

Basketball! That's a sport that lot of people randomly plays across the globe and it would be nice to meet others and show my skills.

[CubaPirate]

Golf that's where the big money and travel is

[MrZameer]

Cricket 🏏 or Badminton 🏸 or Squash

[jack1924]

Interesting, do you know how to play them?

[MrZameer]

Yeah, I do play Cricket and Badminton.
But never played Squash. But World Record Holder Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan inspired me

[MrZameer]

If you anything about Squash then you must know about Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan. These 2 are Legends of Squash.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Definitely Underwater Frisbee Throwing!
