Is there an easier position in professional sports than NFL kicker?
korfball guard
Tell that to Blair Walsh
>>67325633
Any hockey player, especially goalie. Maybe journeyman relief pitcher. Pinch runner.
>implying
Maybe you're talking about being a Punter. Which is actually fairly easy if you have a decent leg.
Being a place kicker is a lot more difficult than say a DH in baseball.
Any soccer position
Rugby Kickers

long snapper
Kinda depends on how you look at it. A successful level NFL kicker is one of the rarest human beings on Earth. There literally only needs to be 32 and we still have kickers being drafted in the 2nd round because they're hard to find.
Soccer goalie. I mean it's just basically being in net and making wise choices, nobody gives you shit if you fuck up like a hockey goalie. And look at the penalty shots... they literally guess.
>>67325671
Is the hockey part bait? How do you even make that conclusion?
>>67325671
Hitting things with a stick is easy, ice skating is not.
>>67325700
>no one gives you shit if you fuck up

Lel sure thing buddy
>>67325676
>it's harder if the ball is on a tee
Negro literally what.
golfer

pool player
>>67325715
>>67325723
They literally glide around for a minute and then take a break.
>>67325700
This shitposting American, like a broken clock, may be right for once. If you're tall and have good reflexes you're basically halfway to being a good keeper.
>>67325728
>dive the completely wrong way in a penalty shootout
>no one gives a shit
So yeah. No one gives a shit.
>>67325633
Kickers are required to be accurate when it comes to field goals. That actually is not an easy thing to do.
>>67325770
Alright dude, I'm just not going to even argue with.
>be a kicker
>miss once
>the whole city hates you
>get replaced overnight
>>67325715

>>67325795
you guys are idiots
>>67325795
That's right because there is no argument.
a basketball player in europe or asia
>>67325655
This.
>>67325788
The field goal posts are basically 4 football goals size (minus the gk)
>>67325680
Nah, most anons couldn't run twenty feet, whether or not you like soccer you gotta respect running up and down a football-sized field for 90 mins non-stop.
Running Back. You just need to squat like 300lb and you're good, you don't even need to be fast.
NASCAR and F1 drivers
>>67325700
>goalies don't matter
>final score 1-0
Soccer goalies in foreign countries are literally murdered for fucking up.
>>67325852
no i respect long distance runners more than soccer 'athletes'
>>67325852
Why does this "soccer players sprint for 90 minutes" meme come from.
It's mostly walking or jogging unless the ball is in your region
>>67325858
>>67325738
>people unironically believe this
>>67325877
Everybody is murdered in foreign countries.
>be walking down the street in Brazil
>get shot
>>67325633
Being the bitch boy beta joke of the locker room until you eventually choke in a game and get sacked the next day with the whole city hating you? no thanks
>>67325894
>tfw when someone brags about his "pacing"
so he's good at standing still?
>>67325877
5 year olds are murdered in 3rd world countries too.
We in the west are just better, it's not that they are under such pressure.
>>67325908
They're wrong because turnleft isn't a sport
>>67325911
No, that means having the ball and sprinting with it, which probably 90% of the match a player isn't doing
>>67325775
so you're saying lebron dong james would dominate your sport of futbol?
i already knew that tho. if all the best amerifat athletes played soccer growing up and wanted to be legit in soccer. we'd probably shit on every country in soccer. every. single. year.
be glad our best athletes don't give a fuck about soccer. if they did. game over bitch
>>67325928
oh yeah it's so easy. Brb going to make a few million dollars as a NASCAR driver.
>>67325910
If your salary is $1 million for like 12 plays a game, that's a pretty sweet gig
>>67325959
You'd have to fit in the car first. Anyone who can so that could be a NASCAR """"athlete"""".
Probably relief pitcher who isn't the closer and is only for situational jobs, like against 1 left handed batter.
>>67325779
>using penalty kicks as a example
Thanks for letting me know you're retarded. I'll stop replying now.
>>67325994
I hope you're shitposting.

It's time you accepted the truth about your "heroes"
>>67325951
>this retarded cuck argument
>IF OUR BIG BLACK BOYS PLAYED SOCCER, WE'LL BE UNBEATABLE
>>67325894
Let's make a pie chat of % of anons who can run from one end of the field to another, vs not. I bet that second piece would be most of the graph.
>>67325852
Pretty sure they stop at half time.

>51 year old backup
Reminds me of pic related. 46 year old Goal keeping coach for League 2 side. Played his first game since 2005 earlier this year due to starter getting injured and they just sold their other keeper.
Kept a clean sheet which was their first this season.
>>67325909
Not for basketball or curling, I tell you what.
>>67326251
>implying it's not a long-ass walk to the locker room.

Third choice keeper at one of the elite clubs. Guaranteed 30k or so for sitting on your arse all year long.
>>67326705
*30k a week
>>67325633
Kickers might have it easy, but they're the first to get fired. One bad game and your career might be over.

>>67326705
Doubt it's that much, pic related is on 10k and has played exactly 0 games.
>>67325633
Punter. Easily. Basically no pressure and an equal, if not less, chance of contact than a kicker.
>>67326861
Shit, I overestimated. Still not a bad deal, though it might be shit getting bullied by the first team.
>Get laughed at by the lads when you turn up in your second hand Porsche
>Get no medal when the team wins cos you haven't made a single appearance

Apparently he did get a medal, can't seem to find any pictures of it aside from him going full kit wanker for the title celebrations.
>>67326097
I used to think Nascar driving would be a simple test of endurance, until I saw the Top Gear episode featuring it. It's very demanding, mentally and physically.
Ignorant people think racecar drivers, especially Nascar, are just sitting comfortably in a seat. Think of yourself on the road accidentally taking a turn too fast, the way your body and the car respond. Multiply that times 100 and try doing it with pinpoint precision and accuracy over and over again for hours, with a dozen cars inches away from you. Still wouldn't watch Nascar but I do have a newfound respect for it.
>>67328071
>go fast
>turn left
>repeat
Yeah, sounds difficult.
>>67326880
This. Miss a last minute field goal and you're hated by the fan base. A punter might be called upon to do something at the end of the game but unless he drops an easy snap the blame will fall on the other 10 guys.
