    This has been a purely football vs Baseball sub. We gotta give the NBA more room.

    So to end it all.

    Lets say you as a father of an obese 11 year old...Your son finally shows interest in sport and you are excited at the opportunity to see your son active again and lose some weight. He likes both football and baseball..but its your choice what sport he plays.


    What are you gonna do? What sport will you pick?

    Being it's my choice and my son is young and obese.

    I get him into bodybuilding. I own all he'd need and know what he needs to do. The goal is to reshape his body, get in shape and muscular. Built his cardio also.

    By the time he is HS age he will be ready for football***. Yep, a stud white power RB with some wiggle.

    *** part of his cadio conditioning was running out for passes, thousands of them.

    Apa keeps walking into losses. He forgets that to be a good baseball player, you need to do a load of weight lifting, which burns calories and actually builds muscle, unlike cardio. So, let's answer the question. If I push my kid into baseball, he can potentially look like this:

    This is the question “to end” the debate?

    I’d ask the kid what sport he’d want to play and encourage him to pursue it. If baseball, cool. If it’s soccer, cool. If he wants to play both, great. Depends what he wants to do.

    You’re trying to infer which sport would help him lose weight, and either could. At age 11, there are fat kids playing soccer who just stand around entire games picking their asses and eating boogers while the other kids run around. And in baseball there are 11 year old kids running all over the place in the outfield making plays and burning calories. At that age, it isn’t the sport, it’s the level of commitment of the kid to put his all in it.

    If I wanted my kid to lose weight, before any consideration of sports, I’d tell him to stop sitting around all day jerking off, playing video games and eating candy bars and drinking soda. Weight management at any age is so much more directly impacted by diet than any sports activity or lifestyle.

    ing re ed that you think this question is the one to “end” the debate.

    "Playing baseball I learned many details that were useful to football, when you determine the flight of the pitch and judging it as a catcher without a perfect view. That sharpened one of my strengths as a footballer, having a wider field of vision. I learned to think ahead. It has many parallels with football: speed, acceleration, adaptation, balance, spatial awareness, anticipation, and more."

    As Cub would say: That's it and that's all.

    I guess to officially end this "debate," there never was a debate. Comparing a goal sport to a bat-and-ball sport is idiotic in the first place, and the soccer crew's trolling material toward baseball is easily debunked (i.e. most baseball players are fat, they're not athletic, it's not physically demanding, that it's comparable to darts etc), while the baseball crew trolls with that sends the soccer crew because it can't be debunked: It's hard fact that soccer ends in a tie around 30% of the time, that the game is filled with the most egregious divers and floppers in sports history and that they get rewarded for such behavior, that stupid in' mini-games decide major matches, that 0-0 ties are relatively common compared to other sports, that there is indeed more light jogging and walking than sprinting, and that they give each other double hand-jobs in locker rooms

    the tie-game and 0-0 outcomes speak more to the sport design than the athletic rigor of the sport tbh

    When I criticize soccer, I mainly criticize its design. On the athlete side, it's no more or less athletically challenging than baseball, but the soccer crew seemingly can't think beyond stamina=athleticism.

    one sports has tons of strategy, mind games, and use of humans’ opposable thumbs. The other is just running for an extended amount of time, flopping on the ground to incite reactions, and occasionally kicking. Which one is the primitive sport again?

    Soccer is the most strategic team sport. No other sport comes close to soccers strategic complexity.

    Soccer is a big hit with parents and the YMCA for kids 4-10 b/c literally anybody can play it. In middle and high school it's largely viewed as volleyball--a woman's sport.

    They have trackers in soccer that measure the distance players cover in a game. I wonder what those numbers would look like for fatball.
