Strung Out
Football? Soccer? Baseball? Basketball?
It's not baseball. There are innings where no one does anything except the pitcher, the catcher and the three guys who strike out.
It's not soccer. There's no gear. There's lots of nothing and it gets decided by penalty kicks which which is like settling a poker hand by drawing straws which hockey does in the regular season, but not when it matters; the playoffs.
It's not basketball. A third of the team doesn't even matter.
Is is football? For pure action, most of a football game occurs with the teams standing around getting ready to do something.
Is it hockey? Every player plays except the back up goalie and they all matter. There is very, very little stop in the action. It has violence, beautiful play, effort does pay off, right away, it has penalties and power plays, they play best of seven in the playoffs, there is rough stuff and there is profound sportsmanship.
What's the best team sport and why?
