i voted soccer but swimmers are tough also, aren't they?

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Ruggers, boxers, wrestlers (not that fake wwe crap), hockey players, Aussie Rules footballers, American footballers and everyone else except basketball players. Basketball is for sissies.

Just the major five here:

Major 5? The world's top two are far and away football (soccer) and cricket which is globally close behind.Tennis and golf are universal and the rest are local minority sports.
They require different degrees of toughness. Many games are quite short (maybe only 90 minutes) , other games can be played out over much longer times (cricket at the top level has 5-day games)
Tennis must need toughness both physical and mental.You are on your own in a singles match, no team to support you , the game can go on and on and the one who weakens first will lose.Rugby, a sort of grown-up football where they don't have all the nancy armour is pretty tough too.

basketball players are strange, 7 ft tall and 300 lb weigh but he can run, jump and tireless. talking about nba offcourse.

 

[Elektra Knight]

Not even the most fervent soccer supporter here would consider it to be anywhere near as tough as rugby.It's possible to play a game of soccer without injury!

Thiathletes and cross country skiers.

Hockey, then golf.

 

[ljswilling]

For physical toughness, I'd say Rugby - no need for padding like those American Football players.

 

[lurkingdirk]

If anyone votes for baseball, I'm going to sick a hockey player on them.

I passionately love baseball, but even I am not that delusional. Cecil Fielder alone burns that bridge.

Out of those 5, American Football. Hockey is a close second.
