Toughest Professional Athletes..

josevolution

bored so why not put them in order, that in my opinion they stack up being the toughest ...1 being the toughest 6 being the weakest or wimpiest ....

(1) hockey players ,get hit in the face with the puck no problem keep on skating..

(2) american football players ,yeah i know they wear all the pads but still go ask tom brady how he felt after the super bowl ..

(3) rugby players no pads just skin & bones they take good hits also ..

(4) basketball players yeah they take hits also specially underneath the hoop ..

(5) baseball players they are wimps occasionally the catcher will take a good hit but otherwise they sit with the sleightest pain ...

(6)soccer players these guys are total wimps just watch a game these fuckers fall & roll around the ground as if they got run over by a truck ...

so there it is agree or dissagree or post your own list unless none cares ...

FatalFootsteps

I agree completely with your list. Perfect order.

I think catchers should be placed in their own category without the baseball players...they're above and beyond a baseball player. Well most of them. Just the amount of shots they take over such a long season.

I am by no means a soccer (football) fan, but I can't beleive you put them below baseball. You have to be pretty tuff to run around that field all day.. baseball for the most part is really stationary. You need rest after a game of soccer. Baseball can be played as often as possible, with little rest needed, for example double headers.

I agree with hockey though. Not a game for wimps, but I would put American football ahead of that based on the fact that players need a whole week to recover from one game.

Talk to Steve Yeager. freaky shit can happen in any sport.

touche
however, because of him, throat guards are now used for catchers, I don't think they're mandatory for hockey players though

The problem i have with Soccer... they are place kickers and punters who are not good enough for the NFL. I mean, how many times have you seen a special teams play graze a punter... who falls to the ground, writhing in pain like he was shot by a bazooka? I've seen better acting in Mentos commercials.
Soccer players are even worse... run by them too fast and you'd think they got punched in the face by a rabid, psycho donkey.

They're not mandatory for catchers either, however if that happens and you're not wearing one in a situation that it would have helped, you're a dumbass. Not to mention it'd deflect some of those balls that hit them in the throat as well. But yeah, baseball players are still the biggest pussies around except for some cathers.

Surely this only applies to American soccer players?

Anyways, I'd have rugby above American Football, and I'd throw in MMA fighters.

I fixed this for you

Otherwise, like LAO said, it moves ahead of baseball on your list.

As an ex-rugger,I thought I'd post a clip of some great rugby hits:

http://www.doubleviking.com/videos/tag/awesome/page0.html/6651.html

As someone who has played both, I'd say playing rugby was a lot tougher on the body than American football but a helluva a lot more fun. I played mainly blocking fullback and guard in football and rarely got to touch the ball. Nothing was more fun than running through 4 people in rugby for a try (touchdown) - scored almost 20 during college. Plus you got to lay some wicked hits on people.

Plus one other thing about rugby is its constant motion like soccer. No time outs or substitutions - except for injuries - unlike in American football. And afterwards, you are truly worn out after playing a game.
