OT: What the kind of sport is this?

[midnightpulp]

Why do povertyball stans keep trying to argue when they know they're going to get humilitated by Mid every time?

He's a moron. Only considers sports at the shallow level of how much stuff moves around on his television screen. Pitchers generate the same amount of power through their legs as a dunker. Shoulder rotation, fastest in sports. Probably the most mechanically demanding position in sports, too. I wonder how his fidget spinner collection is going

[midnightpulp]

Why do you encourage his pathological condition, son? It's not good for him.

Celebrating his spins and re ed arguments like saying a guy developing a particular speciality (that you can develop at elite leves even with a disclgusting gut) is more impressive than a beast like Lebron being elite at pretty much every athletic trait there is out there, will only sink him deeper and deeper into his illness, tbh.

"Y-Y-You discuss stuff too much on a discussion board."

You can develop a disgusting gut and play elite rugby too. Not an argument.

Anyhow, Billy Hamilton is faster than Lebron, stronger arm, probably similar vertical, can hit, and has running back level lateral quickness. Yeah. Doesn't compare to Lebron at all. Baseball players show off sick dunks all the time while basketball players humiliate themselves trying to throw first pitches. One of the best passing guards in the league

So what? He barely gets to show off any of those traits because baseball is a ty designed sport. Try to stay on topic son.

And that proves exactly what? If random baseball players were to try an "opening 3pt shot, or even free throw" on NBA games I'm sure we would get our fair share of air balls too. But again, I fail to see how any of that would prove anything.

And here I am. Friday night being sucked into mid's World. Smh.

Why do you need to see something flashy every 2 seconds to keep you engaged? Why should every sport conform to the derivative "guys on a rectangle moving around trying to put something into a goal or across a goal?" Do you also understand that pitching and hitting work those same muscle groups/core athletic traits just as much as when Messi cuts and kicks or when Lebron dribble drives? It's just as impressive, just as involving athletically. End of the day, you need your running around. Fine. But there's more to sports and athleticism than that.

BTW, ty designed sports are ones that excessively end in ties.

You have 28K posts. Why are you here if you don't want discussion? And yes, I'm stubborn, because your arguments are irritatingly shallow as and close-minded. I can post scholarly articles about the athletic demands of pitching/hitting relative to other athletic actions, and it still won't get through your head because the only thing you consider is how much the players move.

[DMC]

That's a freak play. Even that you showed me earlier happens, what?, one every other game at best? Baseball is a ty designed sport that doesn't require athletic traits on 99,9% of the time.

Everyother sport is designed to display athletic traits such as jogging, jumping, sprinting, switching directions, etc. most of the time. So please cut the bull , because I really don't want to waste my time arguing such an unarguable re ed . Thank you very much.

It's not a sport, OP.

They try

My theory is the reason they went after baseball is because they know they'd have no argument against football, basketball, and hockey. With baseball, they can at least attack the pace issue. They can't attack anything in the other sports.

Of course. Outcome of American football are too reliant on a minigame. And ironically that minigame, kicking, is about the only time the "ball" is touched with a foot.

Last year, the average margin of victory in the NFL was 10.23 - and that was the third lowest single-season average MOV in NFL history:

This idea that football games are always being decided by field goals doesn't hold up to the facts.

It's not played on horseback, so it's football. Pretty simple

[DMC]

Soccer folks playing the "foot" angle when their goalies use their hands with big ing gloves, as if anything that happens on the field matters outside of scoring a goal.

[Joseph Kony]

arguing over this is like arguing over whats gayer between getting butt ed or sucking a ...both are pretty gay

FGs aren't a minigame since they are built into football's gameplay from the beginning. A minigame would be the College Football OT rules or the worst mingame on the planet: Penalty shootouts.

Kickers probably have the toughest job behind QBs. Imagine the pressure of having to nail a 48 yarder into the wind to win a playoff game? that.

And per advanced stats, they have the second most impact on team wins behind QBs.

Never said they didn't have a tough job. I'm a Tampa Bay fan and we've lost 3 games this year because our kicker(s) suck ass. I know the importance of a great kicker.

Still doesn't change the fact that they're probably the most un-athletic people on the field.

Your only SB came with Gramatica as your kicker.

Argentina yeah!

In other words: a touchdown and a field goal. One touchdown and one minigame-kick. Got it.

"Oh , we can't run or pass the ball for ten ing yards constantly. Luckily we have that other, easy, opportunity to score so American Football fans don't fall asleep, as they do in Baseball." Sounds like a minigame to me, senor.

That's like saying a corner kick is a minigame. Oh, and American Football didn't invent the FG. It's a tweak on rugby's penalty kicks. Built into the two sports gameplay from day 1. Mingame is garbage like a penalty shootout. "Oh, our core game design is so , it winds up in ties 30% of the time, better come up with an arbitrary and fast way to break that tie so our fans don't break into another riot."

No, it's not. One thing (corner or throw in) happens when the ball goes out of bounds, the other happens when a team of specialists fails to run/pass for ten ing yards. In three tries.
I don't know where you got the 30%, but that number might be correct. Too lazy to look it up and from what I've read from previous posts I believe you. Substract all FG-points from American Football scores and I believe there would be a lot of ties as well.

And props to the riot comeback. Liked that.

I know it's not a minigame, but calling an FG a minigame is, again, like calling a corner a mingame. The reason neither are minigames is because they were included in the sport's gameplay from the outset and both have to be "earned." A corner is earned by penetrating into defensive territory and creating a deflection off a defender that goes out of bounds at the baseline. A FG is earned by getting into field goal range. Simply put, you still have to play the core game to earn them. A penalty shootout involves nothing of the sort. You're reaching here. Shootouts are (whether in hockey or soccer, so I'm not just blindly attacking soccer).
