Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3755971, member: 7874"] [B][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]"First, limit the scope to the four major professional sports: baseball, football, basketball, and hockey." [/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]In what way are these four sports THE major sports? As I understand; the question refers to practitioners, not fans. Ranked by number of practitioners the 10 major sports are football (soccer), badminton, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, tennis, cricket, table tennis, baseball, and golf.

There are amateur sports which have far greater athletic demands not to mention intestinal fortitude than these four such as free soloing (no ropes) ... El Capitan. Professional football players play maybe 30 minutes of a 60 minute game spread over 3 hours. Alex Honnold free soloed El Capitan in 3 hrs 56 mins. American Football is played on a level field. The face of El Capitan is vertical for 3,200 feet. That is a tad over 6/10 ths of a mile straight up with no timeouts or BR breaks! And God forbid a violent spontaneous sneeze! ;):rolleyes: His route was not a straight line.[/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1607016642452.png"]61974[/ATTACH] [B][SIZE=6][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Tell me you watched the video below without your pulse increasing.
