Thread: If you could be a pro athlete in any sport what would it be?

football is something that i love and ive always wanted to play on sundays the feeling of hearing fans yelling and screaming is an amazing thing its just a huge rush for me

Baseball, it brought me and my father together.

football
I love it.
I almost took a spot on a semi-pro team a couple years ago before my wife managed to talk some sense into me, lol

Thats tough...

I would love to be someone like SHAQ...
for the money and all the bling.

It would be nice to be Fedor though,
Just to say you can pretty much kick
anyones ass in the world.

it has to be baseball. longest careers and make the most money.

that is the problem today, athletes only play for the money, very few play for the love of the game the way they did decades ago.

I would play football because its the only pro sport I really care for and like to play.

Golfers too, mostly Tiger though I guess

but that wouldn't be most people's top choice Im sure, mine neither

I like football but I am not sure I would like to do it for a living, something like professional mountain biking or rock climbing would be soothing to me I think.

Basketball no doubt. But i got no hops

Definitely golf. Get to travel all over, walk on some of the most beautiful patches of Earth, longevity, pick and choose which events to play, don't have to work in the rain.

Baseball.

I am Dustin Pedroia.

I've worked at many golf tournaments. They def play in the rain and the cold.

Baseball or Hockey.

Could care less about the money. Just love playing, that is the reason I still play recreational in leagues now, and the only reason I pursued getting my shoulder repaired. I probably will till I am a cripple.

Baseball being my first choice.

That ain't a sport

Track: 800m

it's the only thing I was ever decent at.

In college I got to within 15s of the world record. I think i could have went all the way Missed my window.

You should have tried gold shoes.

I'm way to versatile to pick just one.

NBA - I's got mad ball handling skilz. I can dribble like a 6 month old

MLB - I can throw the meanest 54mph fast you've ever seen.

NHL - I can lace my own skates.

MMA - One punch is all I need then I take me a little nappy.

I agree. Add to that:

The play in nice weather.
The game isn't strenuous.
Yankees suck.
