American Football is not physical. They run and push each other for 10 seconds then stand around for 5 mins. Not that physical. Games like Rugby League, Rugby Union, Australian Rules, MMA, Boxing....these are full contact sports!! And even when they break collarbones or wrists they still play on and dont hold back!
In my opinion these are the 5 top physical sports.. 1. Hockey 2. Football 3. Rugby 4. Basketball 5. Swimming
NFL wouldn't be top 10. Not even in the same league as Rugby Union/League and Australian Rules football. NFL requires no where near as much conditioning as these two sports, and they make the same tackles but fully protected by padding and helmets. I'll think you'll find that Aussie Rules Football produces the most injuries per year out of any sport
First of all did that last dude put Tennis ahead of Hockey, Futbol in Europe, and Rugby? Listen Kids, Rugby? Ok Listen, Ever PLAY FOOTBALL, Like American NFL Type Football? ANYONE?!?!?! Ok, now Picture that Same 5 - 10 Line Backer, about 265 with Legs bigger than your whole body coming at you and youre wearing................... A SHIRT!!! Hi!!!

Rugby is EASILY EASILY EASILY the not only roughest, but my god Craziest ill tell ya what, ICE BATH MUCH?!?!? Now NFL Football in the States? Dude those guys Kill eachother on Sunday like the frigging Greeks used to fight in the old days man, Thats not just physically demanding, but throw in the hitting and the ground contact 56 times a game for the Interior line and what not?

Thats demanding man!! And last if not even least for me? THE NHL? Holy cow Kids, SAY HELLO TO HOCKEY if you have been under a rock because PHYSICAL doesnt even START to describe the beating and hits and ofcourse the occasional Classic Fights that break out, and the Defense they play now and the .... and the... and the.... I mean Hockey Dudes,,,, THATS A WAR!! Good stuff!! Love all 5, could add 5 more i mean Life is Physical, Imagine Sports for a living!! Money good? To some, yup, to others? Not even worth Half the death sentence they have from age 45 On and No Knees, Half use of the Right Hip, and what some people live with after they play for 10 - 15 - 20+ years, concussions alone, how many guys cant even see straight STILL after YEARS of retirement from something that Physically TOOK their Ability away, i mean NO ONE CAN TAKE YOU OUT IN TENNIS Unless youre chasing Seles with a Knife while shes serving!! LOL!!! My goodness thats a memory!! Horrible but jesus, even people are nuts, much less the guys who play the sports we love!! Thank you and good night LoL
Nope, Marathon running is OFF this list dude, this isnt a Fitness Question, read the Title my friend... MOST PHYSICAL SPORTS!?!?!?!? The Only thing physical about running in a straight line? Is um, Running in straight Line!! Disqualified, sorry !! LoL Anyone on the planet can jog, run, walk, spit, chew whatever, i think the question, atleast IMO is aimed for sports that have Contact with other athletes that make the competition of the sport challenging Meaning there are other people in your face saying I WILL KILL YOU!!! LOL In a sense, i mean were talking sports with a physical nature, with athletes that not only play physical sports but train in some pretty rough terrain and domains with regimens beyond anything a guy who RUNS IN A STRAIGHT LINE EVER DOES!! Again, Marathon running..... NO GOOD!! LOL DQ'd!
I still don't see how you can put non contact sports like soccer in a top 5 list of the most physical sports
Then you? shouldnt even be replying in this topic dude, enjoy the Barbie!! Non Contact sport!??! Take a bong hit and re think about what the hell youre talking about!!
