I agree that they're sports, but seriously don't say you can put a ball into a net. That really offended me, Basketball is not easy it takes work, try having somebody taller than you guarding you and then try shooting.

i do agree that they're sport, but there's seriously more to say about it. if ur not doing competitive cheer, dance, etc. then i dont consider it a sport (i know someone else mentioned that). yes, it takes skill, coordination, muscle, etc. But, so does those other sports where the point is to "get the ball in the net". They aren't easy, yeah, i know. No sport is, unless you're destined to be the Tom Brady or Lebron James of your sport. And, another sport some don't consider a sport is autoracing. It's more of a mental sport than anything. My point is, you have to look at more than one sport, and look at other peoples opinions before going off and ranting about it. Every sport is unique, and all require so many qualities to make one good at it.

ok .. this is how it is . its not a sport unless your team itself is competing . competitive cheerleading? thats a sport . if you are competing against another team then it is a sport . i used to be in gymnastics, but i wasnt competing against anyone so i didnt consider it a sport . it all just depends on if youre competing against someone or not .

It's the same thing with competition Colorguard. It's like cheerleading, without the cartwheels and stuff. It takes muscle. Strength, flexibility, agility, gracefulness, and being able to spin flags, run across a huge mat in under 10 seconds and dance. At once. It's a lot of work and a huge commitment and has little to no appreciation or acknowledgement. I understand it's not on the list because it's not well known, but I just wanted to point this out. xoxo

Yes i'm sorry I know there are so many unappreciated sports I forgot to mention. Swimming, Horseback riding, ultimate Frisbee , golf, and a bunch others. Sorry if I forgot the point of this quote is a wake up call to everyone saying "Hey yea its a sport and its harder than it looks!"

Sorry I just forgot to me it fell under swimming which to me is a sport I defiantly agree sorry I forgot to mention it :(
@Boom_Its_Kerry & younglove1145 & cornyindahouse
Yea I know soccer isn't easy. No sport is easy. I was just saying that to make my point, but honestly the sports I mentioned are also a lot more physically challenging. I mean its not like you have to play soccer every single day and week or else you couldn't play. I literally have to ice skate 4 times a week for hours for anything to go right. I'm sorry I understand the conditions of Soccer (I played it for like 5 years ... which I gave up to do gymnastics.)

@Boom_Its_Kerry
First question: Yes I have (I used to paly soccer!!)
Second question: Uhm why yes I can I play lacrosse and basketball. Especially in ice skating you have to deal with the fact that if you don't do everything almost perfectly for a jump, spin or move in the field/ foot work you would break/bruise/sprain/scratch your body and trust me falling down really hard on ice hurts a lot more on grass. It happens and there is blood everywhere and ambulances are called. Even in gymnastics do a jump wrong BAM broken arm. Or dance move wrong twist an ankle.
Third Question: YES! I have basketball, lacrosse DUH and yeah to me basketball is really easy!

Yes, they're sports. We understand, but honestly, getting a ball into the net isn't that easy. Try it... all I'm saying. No sports come easy.

I'd like to point out that synchronized swimming didn't even get mentioned in that list and it's like all of those sports while holding your breath and treading water... and we life people without even using the ground

just something to consider before complaining about the lack of respect other sports get

if you dont know what I;m talking about heres a link:

I agree that they are ALLL sports. But I play soccer and we have to run and run and run and it takes lots of coordination and the perfect timing to dribble and get around someone. Like its not just getting a ball in a net. And shooting, you have to hit it just right on your foot. So yes dance, karate, figure skating, etc. are all sports and shouldn't be stereotyped as not sports, but that doesn't mean other sports are a piece of cake either. (:
(not trying to be mean, cuz I agree, but I've been told soccer is easy as ever so I wanted to make a point to(: )

It's just the fitness side of things(: I play football(by football I mean soccer) and it takes top class fitness levels, I mean could you do 10 laps around a pitch? Could you battle against other players with the possibilty of breaking bones? Could you score a goal with four defenders surrounding you and a goalkeeper... just don't forget that sports like footie and rugby take a hell of a lot more work.

i completely agree with you all those sports above are so hard and don't get as much credit as they should but that doesn't mean that sports like basketball and soccer where you have to get a ball in a net are easy
