Nothing requires any skill to play. Period. Nothing. I could go stumble around on skates with a stick and be "playing" hockey.
WORDS MEAN THINGS. They have definitions. It is important to understand that fact.
To play it well or excel at anything requires varying degrees of skill. Yes I would agree with that.
Without having skated at least a handful of times (i.e. practicing or refining that particular "skill") I guarantee that you would not even be able to "stumble around on skates with a stick." Instead, you would step on the ice, fall on your ***, and fail to be able to get up and move more than a few inches, if that, before falling again.
We are taught from birth to walk and run. It's a natural thing, and therefore wouldn't be considered a "skill" needed to be learned for any given sport or activity. Taking it one step further, one could even argue that throwing something (a ball, car keys, a flashlight, whatever) is something that everyone eventually "learns" how to do because it is somewhat of a natural movement.
I still stand by my argument that skating, on the other hand, is a specified skill that is learned for a particular sport or activity, and not "natural" by any means.
If you've never thrown, caught or carried a football with full pads on in a game you really have no clue to the skill required in "tackle football". It's as much as being able to walk and run as hockey is being able to swing a stick on skates.
Bottom line is ain't a **** one of us here cheering for a btich *** hockey team, or a soccer team, or any of that faqqoty stuff.
There's a reason football is king.
Typical ignorant American comment
Football is king yet soccer is played in every single country in the world while football is essentially isolated to the US
Who cares if it's played around the world. football requires just as much skill or more than sorry *** soccer. Of all the sports I played soccer was the easiest. Like I said before, had it not been for real sports like football and track taking up my time I would have easily earned a soccer
Scholly
Funny thing about this thread is you have guys who haven't played both sports sitting saying one requires more skill than the other. One guy claimed since he got picked up in a flag football tourney that prolly had women in it and kids handicapped people etc ....that to him meant football was easy lol.
I'm willing to bet that the people on here claiming football requires the less skill sucked at football. How m ay super athletic people play soccer these days anyways? Or anyway for that matter? Most inferior athletes play soccer. Your best athletes are playing more athletically inclined sports like football and basketball.
Soccer is t all that big in America. Even with that fact some 14 year old made the Olympic team a few years back. If more people cared about the sport no doubt it would happen more often.
You're ignorant as ****. Your myopic views make you sound like a ******* invalid. Superior athletes across the globe play soccer. The best athletes go where the money is...that's it. In the U.S. the money is in football. Best athletes play it because if you're a great athlete you can easily make millions here doing it (some with little to no experience because it takes less time to be good at it at certain positions). Around the globe, the superior athletes play other sports (i.e. soccer) because the money is there. Your posts reveal how small your level of critical thinking skills are...you only see what's right in front of you.
