i've only encountered jackasses who play it, but hey, I'm sure its fun to play.

worst sport is for sure motorcross, if thats considered a sport. otherwise, tennis.
golf is boring and tiring to play if you spend your whole day doing it and you aren't in a league, but its meh at best. men over 30 take it too seriously, but in the end, you either got it, or you don't. tennis on the otherhand, is a boring as fuck game that makes you run around a shit ton, and nobody ever knows how to actually volly properly. meme wise, racketball is another good one

>>
>>68848727
>and terrible play all around

It's just different and takes different skills, so looks bad to the untrained eye, much as people like to shit on it here. Movement off the ball is far more important for example and the patterns can be very intricate, when combined with the quickfire passes necessary to avoid blocks on the smaller court they are very hard to get right so passes get dropped and the play can look low quality. Would imagine there is more of a habit of just looking at the person who has the ball in basketball since that is where the action is, whereas the reverse is true in netball.
>>
>>68848740
Ahhh, the gay death slide.
>>
>>68848785
certain players are only allowed in certain areas of the court and you can't run with the ball so it's an accessible sport for all types of girls
>>
>>68848800
The shooting still seems pretty sub par though. I watched a whole game once and like women's basketball the shooting was just poor. Missed shots left and right. I mean these were professionals or at least national team reps (can't remember who was competing), shouldn't they be able to reliably shoot? When I was in high school there was a girl two years younger than me who could beat most guys there in a three-point contest, she could probably have destroyed those girls in netball.

No backboard in netball so again it's harder than you think, the loop needed to get the ball both over the blocker's hand in front and into the hoop is quite specific.

Make no mistake by far the best amateur female athletes in both Australia and here play netball, and while obviously not up to male standards in general they're not as awful as people on here make out sometimes either.
>>
>>68848844
Or am I just retarded? I could've sworn you were allowed to shoot outside of that arch but every video I've watched from the last WC they held the scoring was done inside the arch.

meme ancient sport, if it was as good as lacrosse/cricket/mob rules football (basically rugby) it wouldn't have disappeared.

I'll give it props for being one of the earliest field sports to actually use a designated playing area and not just open fields like those other sports I mentioned.

>>68848926
>>68848935
Huh

Watching some of the top-level women's players (like the aussie WC team) makes me think it takes a form of athleticism (there are some really impressive interceptions those girls make), but imo it's hampered by no dribbling whatsoever and a limitation on who can score. Like Ultimate Frisbee I feel like it could benefit from maybe a limited amount of individual movement, like 3-4 steps. But maybe that's just the basketball fan in me.

Correction, one of the earliest sports played on a solid surface and on two feet, not field.

What is even the oldest "sport" (excluding traditional sports like the ones held at the Olympics) still in existence? There's no deffinitive answer on how old Lacrosse is, cricket was probably created sometime in the 16th century, and ancient Rugby and Association Football equivalents have been around for a very, very long time but exact dates are uncertain. If we're talking about sports that still remain relatively true to their nature would it be Rowing or Horseback riding? Maybe Marksmanship, like Bow and Arrow shooting?
