Football because I love it. The intensity and controlled violence of the game is just indescribable and I couldn’t imagine what it would be like at that level.

“The question was given serious analysis in a study conducted in 2004 by ESPN.com, and, for golf lovers, the process resulted in an unflattering answer. A panel of experts which included sports scientists from the U.S. Olympic Committee, academics who study the science of muscles and movement, sports journalists and former pro baseball and football player Brian Jordan was polled to identify the most demanding of 60 sports.
Various activities were graded on 10 components of athleticism: endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, nerve, durability, hand-eye coordination and analytic aptitude. Boxing ranked first, followed by hockey, football and basketball. Golf ranked -- take a deep breath -- 51st out of the 60 sports, just behind table tennis and horse racing. It did, however, place just ahead of cheerleading and roller-skating, with fishing finishing last.”
From an ESPN article. Looks like I win. And with that I say good night.

Using a 15 year old nonstudy is not very compelling evidence

i am not even a huge golf fan, but golf easily
so much more laid back IMO
why choose a sport with a ton of games?
if choosing team sport, baseball for sure!!

Tennis and I can’t imagine anything greater than being handed a Wimbledon trophy from the Duke Of Kent and holding it up. That has to be the greatest feeling in all of sports imho.

MMA. I like to punch people.

I like to fish, a lot.... so I'd say fishing the BassMaster tour would be pretty sweet. Kevin Van Dams worth about $8,000,000.

I personally like tennis more, but have to go with golf due to career longevity aspects.
I don’t want to keep working til I’m 50
I like the “forced retirement” tennis usually gives at about 35-38

Is golf really work when you're 50 and play tournaments only a handful of times a year?
Seems like that's when you actually enjoy golf

True, though tiger is 43.

Neither is a wrong answer obviously
But if I get to choose to be the top of one or the other, I like the thought of being done 15 years earlier
Others pick golf for the exact opposite thought process

You can't go too wrong with baseball, tennis, or golf.

Try this variation: you find the bottle with the genie in it. You have to ask to be great at any sport. The genie will.grant your.wish.
