Why do people think basketball is a sport?
to me a sport isn’t an activity that boils down to sitting on the bench with a towel around your neck for 99% of the final two minutes of a game when it’s a close nail biter
if a real sport is tied or very close near the end of the game the atheletes are sweating vomit for the final minutes of the game, not anointint their brows with Gatorade emblem emblazoned towels while their coaches get into a tactical chess game of 50 plays lasting .1 seconds each
just ook at the difference between a Stanley Cup playoff game in the final two minutes in a game separated by one goal, or close, and an NBA playoff game with a close score in the final two minutes and you should see that to which I refer
if basketball and baseball are considered sports then why isn’t croquet?
ok this isn’t a fair assessment - I just find the USA’s preoccupation with basketball rather absurd, same with baseball
Controversial, i second your opinion on baseball not basketball though
Who would of thought, from unknown soldier, such fantastic and witty use of the english language. Your Mom will be proud.
IF U DONT LIKE IT GET THE F UCK OUT OF THE USA
bi tch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All sports are meaningless!…the only true sport with meaning is WAR!
GREAT…….WHO SAID IT WASN’T A SPORT
Go play curling, the real Canadian sport.
To grow up playing hockey, you have to live in a place where it is ungodly cold for too long every year. Its biggest problem in the US is that the majority of citizens do not grow up playing hockey while a good chunk can go out with a ball and/or a bat and play a game for 3 seasons (in the SW, 4.) Nothing to relate it to is hockey’s problem.
you sound like a person that just likes soccer.
okay appeerntley you know nothing about sports.
Basketball not a sport??
Please, a sport is when you do something active with a team.
oh and b-ball fits that description.
Players run, hussle, jump, they do all of that, and how is that not a sport??
You play with a team, if your team does not function neirther o you, its just like that.
basketball has commitment, energy, feeling, passion.
its a great game.
Oh and you say in a second in soccer you could win a game with a goal.
Same for basketball
for those final seconds if you make that basket then you might win the game.
basketball is a great sport that is liked by people everywhere.
Dont judge it just cause you dont like it.
Soccer is fun 2 though
because it is a calm activity, but croquet can be visualized as a sport by many different people, including you.
croquet qnd soccer are irrelevant sports!
I agree with unknown soldier it is one of the most popular SPORTS in the U.S.A. if basketball isn’t a sport i don’t know what is
because its a team games b**** and its very competive thats why so many people think its a sport so if you dnt like it shut the fuck up cabron
cause u are running and if u dont like it why dont u just kindly just leave the basketball section of Y! Answers
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes.
Bottomline is: not everyone thinks the same way as you do, so don’t judge the sport just because you don’t like it. We have our own opinions. Respect it. If you don’t, just keep it to your self. You know, we basketball fans are pretty much rough.. So watch out when you get out..
If you don’t think basketball isn’t a sport then I don’t know why you’re arguing for croquet. Basketball and baseball are sports because it requires skill and athletism to play them. Croquet is just knocking a ball throught a wicket. Not a sport.
