This is really tough. Football are the most athletic, hockey is the toughest, baseball are the most skilled. It’s gotta be football, bc so many football players were very good at other sports plus, none of the other sports would come close to winning a football game against football players
Oh I agree. This is a go to hypothetical I give other sports fans. I think the biggest factors to me are 1) The amount of multi-sport athletes in football 2) The lower percentage of foreign players (who are less likely to be familiar with American sports) 3) The position specialization in football that isn’t as pronounced in most sports, it’s both an advantage when the other teams play football (matchup nightmares everywhere) and gives flexibility when putting together rosters in other sports
Football can win in all of them, no one else wins in football. I think crazy enough baseball is second, simply bc they have to pitch, the nfl has enough good arms to compete. Hockey would be good at hitting the ball but they may be too built for it, and they wouldn’t be able to muster enough arms. Baseball also is good enough to hit a puck, they could win in hockey but the physicalness would be their downfall
The thing I think you’re overlooking is that there won’t be nearly enough competent skaters on any of the other teams to probably even play functional hockey. Any NHL team is skating circles around them and probably winning like 100-0. I think hockey faces huge challenges in the rest of the sports though.
They can also play basketball, they have enough guys who could and their vision is so good they could make some shots. Hockey is physical but not in the way the NFL is, they’d be too overpowered. And it’s tough to say they’d def win in basketball just bc their abilities don’t necessarily transfer over. Basketball is definitely last, their guys are good but especially the Americans in the other spots have probably all played basketball and some are really good
That definitely is true, I think they’d win all the hockey games but I unlike football I think there is a chance some of the other sports could win. Everyone in football is just so ridiculous with their feet whether it’s OL DBs WRs QBs they are all so agile that I think they could put up a good fight.
I agree. I don’t think anyone can beat football at football. The biggest reasons are the trenches and then the secondary, it also may be difficult for any of them to find a good QB. I think there’s a solid chance (comparatively) that football can upset basketball though and that gives football the edge. Also a solid number of two way, football/baseball players to maybe make that interesting too.
I think this is solid, but tbh I still don’t think anyone can upset Hockey. To play a full game you need 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, and at least 1 goalie. I’m not sure you could even find 19 guys who can skate on an NFL roster let alone have ever played hockey before. I think baseball will be sneaky hard too. How many people can hit a 100 mph fast ball?
