Personally......Football should not be that high up, after all, they get to wear pads and helmets and everything--I think gymnastics should be higher than football. I don't think tennis should be ranked that high either, but they're the experts. No offense to anyone who plays either sport.

I disagree with pretty much all of that. Gym should be WAY higher, IMO.

^^Yes I have it.

I think we should have gotten a ten in the nerve category, the way they define it, "The ability to overcome fear" I'm just happy it's higher thatn baseball/softball so I can rub it in my sister/dad's faces. And also that polevaulting was listed as the most difficult track/field event.(number 16)

Boxing should not even be on the list, it sure requires skill and training, but the long term health issues and brutality of boxing are horrendous.

Gym should of course be No 1, to be that good on four events, or six for MAG is quite unvbelievable.

Golf, snigger, now that is funny. You can even ride a cart between swings. Skill is required, but really the biggest risk is getting hit in the head by a stray drive.

Rodeo, also not a sport, just legalised suicide akin to boxing.
