Poll: Football player or Basketball player?

[dcdomain]

I was having a little argument with my friend, salaries aside (basketball players make more), injuries aside (football players here), and your body structure aside, which would you rather be?

I would personally rather be a football player, being able to crack someone really good. And nothing is better than running through a gauntlet of defenders.

My friend on the other hand likes the dunking, one on one and none stop aspects of basketball...

So which would you rather choose?

edit: WTF? Why can't I see no poll? Damnit... I think I messed up, how do I go back to add a poll?

Well, I've played both in game situations (not pro of course) and I like the rush of football more. Football also seems to be more of a team game. It's next to impossible for a single player to take over a football game in the same way that Jordan could do in basketball. I love the physicality and teamwork of football, so that's what I'd be.

 

[Insanitation]

I would play basketball. Football has too much dead time. Basketball is constant movement.

 

[TheVrolok]

<--- Football player.

 

[Bignate603]

Play a real sport, SWIM!

Actually, I'd prefer to be a football player, it's a little more aggresive.

You know what... I wish I knew how to swim, best exercise, and doesn't really damage your body in anyway. My main sport is wrestling, and training in the water does wonders. A few of my teammates did so, but I can't even tread water, so it kinda sucked. I looked like an idiot with my life preserver everytime I was over at some kid's pool or the YMCA.

And yes, I've tried lessons, for two summers! Still no luck. If I go on my back and just lay there, my body is a full inch underneath the water...

Id rather surf, but football is is really fun.

Basketball. Non-stop and you can show off a little more

And who ever said Basketball isn't a contact sport?

 

[dcdomain]

Oh no, basketball is DEFINITELY a contact sport. I'm just saying that you don't go out there with the intention of hitting the guy or tackling him down...

So no one knows how to add a poll back in afterwards?

For me, i'd rather play football. I did both in HS but was better in football because of my bodytype (5'7&quot; but squat). It was tough keeping up with the opposing guards throughout the game due to my size.

However, if I were to excell professionally then Pro Basketball has it all over football because of the salary structure. From what I understand, Pro Football contracts aren't guaranteed whereas Basketball is. Pro Football seems much more cannibalistic because of this.

 

[samarth]

Absolutely Basketball.
I think it is better than just tackling bunch of guys, runnning for 15 sec, then tackling again. No fun.
But again, this is just an opinion.

 

[dcdomain]

samarth, if you are really good, it'll be more than 15 seconds

And have you ever tackled someone? Feels damn good!

 

[pdiddy]

basketball all the way. better promotional machine/endorsments

 

[Gunther]

Basketball because you don't have to play outside in the rain, snow, or heat.

 

[Stifko]

Football doesn't have alley-oops and no look passes (except for Farve maybe).

 

[AnimeKnight]

And have you ever tackled someone? Feels damn good!

Oh yeah.. I tackle my girlfriend all the time you are right it feels damn good

but I still like basketball constant action more flashy stuff to show off

 

[Imported]

Football. Nothing like slamming someone into the ground..

 

[Wingznut]

Definitely football. ANY sport that a tiny slap on the hand isn't illegal, for that matter.

 

[Muadib]

Football for the fun.

 

[NetworkDad]

Football, no question about it.
