American Football requires a tough mental aspect. Learning a playbook can be hard as fuck and the defensive assignments alone are enough to give a retard a headache

Baseball is probably the easiest to master. There is a reason they call it luck swing.

>>
>>68756815

Baseball can be pretty confusing with all the rotations on defense + making the proper adjustment when you have a runner on base.

For example: the batter hits the ball into center field, you already have a runner on second, where does the filelder throw the ball?

Baseball is mostly luck based.

I doubt you've played baseball at a high level. Try even hitting an 11 year-olds fastball. Its hard as fuck.

I'd honestly say baseball is the hardest to master. Hitting a major league baseball is pretty much impossible for an average person but anyone can throw a ball in a hoop, kick a ball or pass and catch
>>

Basketball is one of the most difficult sports to master.
>>
>>68757069
Not the driving part.
>>
>>68756888
Depends on the speed of the runner on second. Depends on how hard the ball was hit. Depends on the score. Depends on the inning. Depends on how many outs there are. Depends on who is hitting next. Depends on how aggressive the batter who hit the ball is rounding first base. Depends on the strength of the center fielder's arm. Depends on if the shortstop and secondbaseman set up the relay route properly. And depends somewhat on if the firstbaseman came over to relay the through to home like he should. Does the center fielder bobble the ball?

There are numerous factors that all happen within a few seconds that determine what happens on the field, and casual baseball fans just watch and see: ball hit, people run, guy throws ball, play ends.

handegg, definitely

i mean, how many americans are playing handegg when they're 6 years old? not many. the sport is too physical to be played properly until your mid teens. most of these pros have less than a decade of experience in the sport while football players have to have been playing since they were young to even stand a chance of going pro

up until a few years ago you could go directly from high school to the pros and be reasonably great at it. Lebron, Kobe, etc did this. Even Durant won a fuck ton of awards in his first and only year of college BB.

Baseball is about the same, but you don't really see rookies right from high school excel in the same way.

How did this silly luckswing meme get started?

Baseball use to have the worse parity of all the major sports (proving luck does not have a significant influence on the outcome of games).

Scouting in the sport is down to a statistical science (front offices pretty much know with a good deal of certainty which prospects can flourish at the MLB level). And player performance is remarkably consistent over a player's prime years. Clayton Kershaw doesn't post a 1.56 era one season and then 5.00 the next.

it still doesn't change the fact that you can be a pro and make millions at only 19. Plus let's not forget that you can always go the Curry route, practice only 3 pointers your entire life, and become unanimous MVP.

I would argue that "easier sports to master" could actually be more difficult because the sport's accessibility translates into a larger talent pool to compete with.

The difficulty of any sport or game is defined by the competition more than it is its learning curve.

implying that the best athletes of each sport we know have already mastered the game... yet future will tell

I mean, games evolve in competitive atmospheres, every year you get better athletes, every year a record is beaten, etc...

we have been mastering sports since we created them so I don't think any sport is easy to master to some extent... few people are actually the GOATs of their sport.
>>
You fucking IDIOTS

The answer is volleyball of course
>>
>>68757123
Lots of us played football/handegg as children. It's just that early-mid teens is when you see players start getting into their true positions/start developing skill. Most of us who played from pop warner through HS or higher started playing a very different position than where we ended up.

Yeah this is changing for sure, but bigs face a smaller talent pool for playing spots and rely more on their physique over skill relative to other positions in the sport. Mathematically it takes less to be prominent at that position, there's no denying this.

Let's be hoenst, it's American Football. Now there's plenty of positions that an outsider or amateur will be able to excel at enough to be in a pro team, but plenty of defensive positions that an amateur could play.
Lot's of injuries happen in Football, so even a reserve player could get on the first team. A tall stocky buff guy could get on the team as a linebacker i'm sure.

Doesn't the NFL hold public tryouts regularly as well?
