No, my entire argument isnt just skating. Its just the most glaring and obvious one.


This post proves otherwise:

"Just watch someone ice skate for the first time to find your answer. Everyone of these sports is predicated on the individuals base ability to walk/run except for hockey. "

Maybe, maybe not. You are still missing the point though.


Actually you're missing the point. Your entire argument for hockey requiring the most athleticism is because ice skating is hard and not something that everyone learns naturally.

All of those things you quoted require learning a certain physical motor skill that isn't naturally acquired before learning the actual skills of the sport, just like hockey.

Your pointless diatribe about southerners not knowing hockey further proves you're missing the point.

You are dumb.

No, its not an "entire argument" you dolt. Its a pretty substantial one that sets it above the other major team sports. Why not start there when comparing mensa man?

You are going out of your way to disprove hockey with some uncommon sports. Interesting that you dont do the same with those putting basketball,football,baseball first. Why was your trigger "Hockey" to go off to the obscure sports to find arguments?

No, its not. You were never exposed to it. You said so yourself. You completely blew off my point because you learned to "Glide" around the rink one day at a skating rink. Hockey isnt popular in the south, or are you going to argue that obvious point as well?
