Champ wins.

Sorry Chipper, I love baseball, but this is an argument that baseball cant win.

Why not? Did you start playing baseball at 3, like a bunch of other people?
And if it's not so great, why do you have a Baseball profile pic? Why not a Patriots one?

I didnt say it wasnt great, I love baseball with a passion, I just said this argument is logically going to football.
Also, I dont pull for the Pats, Im not from Boston. Im from Louisiana, Im a broad sports fan.
LOL

Well, then vote for my side, because I'm just arguing against football. I agree. Here's my order:
Baseball
Soccer
Hockey
Football
Basketball

I played baseball from t-ball to my middle school years. Then I found out I was only average and hung my cleets.
Couldnt hit to save my life.

I'm not gonna vote for this one because I don't think there is a right answer... Love 'em both and both of you guys have good points. Baseball is by far a game that involves much more training and skill. I've played both and I was an excellent football player, but I can barely make contact in baseball. However there is much more excitement throughout a game of football. Baseball, however, isn't restricted by a time limit, so realistically a game is never actually over. Both sports are great, so instead of trying to figure out which one is better, I'll just be content knowing they are both better then curling and darts.

LOL.
Same here.
Though when I was 5, playing t-ball, I turned an unassisted triple play.
When I was 3, I could name all the Braves players and their numbers.

That order isnt like mine:
Football
Baseball
Basketball
Nascar (LOL, im from NC, nascar country, cant help it)
Hockey
Soccer
But hey, I love Chipper Jones. Doesnt that count for something? lol

I guess it does count for something.

Good point Smart.

It's hard for me to vote on this. I love football and baseball at a near equal amount. While I have more pride in my football team, this is argument is more at a "solely one sport" type, and it's near difficult for me to pick.

The argument is this:
Football vs, Every other sport.

To me, it looks like the starter of this debate confined it into football and baseball, judging by his opening argument. Either way, it's hard to choose.

The title is what makes the thread.

The opener should have kept to the topic, then.

the debate is the professional football (NFL) is greater than any other professional team sport; baseball, basketball, hockey, NASCAR (they do have teams!), etc.....but I do put anyone to the pepsi challenge to name any individual sport that is greater than America's passion

Golf.

I love both these sports with an equal passion, but I will throw in my two cents...hitting a round ball with a round bat is the hardest thing to do in all of sports. Both take great amounts of skill, but just different types of skill. PLaying football and watching it is much faster than baseball, and to say anybody who can eat can play lineman is an ignorant statement. I will agree that from a DT's perspective, trying to read about 70 different things in the matter of a second is just as difficult if not more so than reacting to a 90mph pitch. This throwdown seems to have gone from being about the greatest team sports to a baseball/football debate. So based on the topic thread I would also like to add that football is in fact the ultimate team sport. NO other sport requires you to have to pull your own weight or more so much as football does. NO other sport leaves another man's life in your hands...you miss an assignment, it could lead to serious injury or worse. NO other sport requires the need to respect everybody on their team. There are guys I have played with that I couldn't stand, but I respected them so much on the field, that I still put in the 1000% effort to make my plays so that that person didn't get hurt. No other team sport has the kind of bond between players that football does. THE CHAMP WINS this throwdown based on the thread.

The Mauler, enlightened sports Truthiologist if I ever heard one. This is definitely not a debate of football vs baseball...HOWEVER it is all the same arguments...Chipperboy! Im ready when you are...
