Which high sport deserves more respect?

[diplomatic_lies]

What's the sport with the highest deaths? I'd imagine it's something weird like alligator wrestling (which is probably a sport in parts of Australia), or rock hurling (throwing rocks at each other).

Toughest sport?

Golf is by far the hardest and most frustrating sport I´ve ever played. It looks really easy, but once you start playing it you´ll need years of practice to get a decent score. One little mistake can cause you to ruin your score that´s why it is so brutal and can be really embarrasing. You have to have a lot of mental toughness (controlling your emotions) as well as good hand eye coordination skills. Another point to mention is that there is a huge range of techniques that you got to learn and practice in order to become really good at it. Golf is a game you can´t win, you can just play it.

Talking from the list (I find it funny and pathetic when people deviate from the list and start talking about wrestling and hockey and other sports that were NOT listed) and limiting my post to the list and ONLY the list.

I would say that all sports deserve respect.

However, the one that is the toughest to master (assuming everything else equal from the part of the athlete) has to be baseball.

It is very tough to hit an object coming toward you at 90+ miles per hour. It requires a fraction of a second to react and hit that object too.

And more importantly...the object is round and you are hitting it with something that has a roundish (cylindrical) shape.

May be it just shows that people are so self absorbed that they can not follow basic directions and want to throw their two words in even though it does not contribute to the conversation? Or may be this is just your average internet forum where the intelligence is quite skeptical at best and structure resembles one of the chaos induced prostitute.

Perhaps the problem is rooted in the question itself:

"Which sport in high school do consider very tough, but did not get the respect is deserved?"

What the fvck does that even mean? In my opinion, again, swimming does not get anywhere enough respect.. gymnastics as well but that is for the girls. Anyone who argues that baseball players (and to a lesser extent soccer) do not get respect are obviously morons or did not grow up in USA

Soccer definately. Its requires so many different types of training. You need to be able to sprint so you can outrun your opponants. Then you have to have the stamina to play a 90 minute game. Controlling the ball with your foot is so much harder than you might think. Ive been playing soccer sense i was 3 and my school won the NYC championship three years in a row. We are the most prestigious sport at my school but absolutly no one cares. We won the championship and no one really cared but my clase friends. In the rest of the world soccer players get huge respect but in America we get 0.

But it doesn't require basic spelling or grammar, thank god, right?
