Can anyone prove that water polo is not the seccond hardest sport in the world (besisdes boxing)?

Question

i dont think there is any harder sport on the planet. i mean think of any other sport that requiers the physical training, the incredible endurance, and the knowledge requiered that water polo needs.

and if any one of you say foot ball is harder than water polo i might have to slap you! football is so over rated!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I think that netball is a lot harder than water polo as it requires a lot of stamina and you need to run fast,jump high and be very alert.I know it as i play netball.If you don't can doubt my words...get lost

Answer 2

Water polo is cool because they always get to date the water ballet girlies.

Answer 3

no, no. i hate foosball, too.  but hunting is quite demanding as well. not that c**p on four wheelers, of course, but  i've carried deer (150+ lbs of dead wieght) on my back five miles in the Spokane Mountains of Washington in 15degree weather. prove? no. i'm not saying it's harder, but think about it.

Answer 4

Can anybody prove it? No! Can arguments be made for other sports? Yes!

You say football is overated. Maybe it is...but in America there is no harder sport to play professionally. The bar is just far too high and there are very few humans that can do the things that football players do.

For example how many guys do you know that are 260 lbs, can bench press 500 lbs and run a 4.2 40? You have to be a genetic freak to play professional football. So is it harder? Maybe not...but it is certainly hard to find people capable of playing it at a professional level.

Answer 5

It is the hardest sport.

what other sport requires you to swim at full speed for 28 minutes and requires a goalie to lift themself out of the water to at least their waist using just their legs eggbeatering.

Answer 6

Water polo is a pretty tough sport, but there are plenty of other tough ones, If you are talking physically then yeah you are right, however as for a skill I also play baseball and it is said to me the most difficult sport because you must strike a moving round object usually traveling in excess of 85 mph with another round object. as a skill baseball is harder, but as for physically you are right.

Answer 7

Slap away, puddle-pumper!!!!

Answer 8

Hmm....I don't think I can come up with one that is harder, Though cross country running is pretty tough. I've done both (water polo and cross country) so I guess I agree with you. Water polo is a very physically demanding sport that requires extreme endurance. I think however you will have a problem convincing others of this fact see as most people probably have not played it 'for real' before.

Answer 9

ok i am freaking sick of all the football players at my school saying water polo is easy. it's not! they don't know how it feels to be grabed and pushed under and you just swallowed a ton of water so you can't breathe. just today of of my teammates got kicked in the ribs so hard it hurt to breathe and i got my suit grabed along with my skin and i was hurting for the rest of the time i was there. also i football you can see everything that goes on because it's not underwater. but have you ever watched water polo when there is cameras underneath the water? it's brutal and the refs can't call it because they didn't see it. also the refs are like always biased in water polo and sometimes call good calls for the other team but not yours. we also have so much training before we can actually play and most water polo players are swimmers (also a hard sport) so they have great endurance. water polo is just tougher and football players just need to face the facts

Answer 10

Water Polo is the SHIZNIT!!!!! It's too bad we only have H.S. polo in 1 city here in Missouri, but I live there, and my school has a team.

It is so much harder then what my friends who do soccer do. And we have to get up at 5 to get to the outdoor pool at 6 am when it's 60 degrees outside in June. But it's all good.
