in to see each person pick their sport because biased fuk you

Each is unique and hard in it's own way. Depends on the term "hardest" - do you mean require most hand-eye coordination? Do you mean endurance? Strength?

Soccer - crazy foot skills and endurance to run.
Baseball - godly hand-eye coordination to hit a ball 100MPH accurately.
Hockey - have to learn to ice skate, handle the puck and be physically strong to take hits.

To me, foot-play for soccer = puck handling in hockey. Soccer you have to run longer, hockey you do short bursts, so I'd say they are on par there. However, hockey you have to take hits and can throw blows. I'd say hockey is more difficult in complete skillset required. However, if you could actually check people and fight in soccer like you can in hockey, then I'd say pretty equal.

Baseball, I think of more of a "Skill" game. Pitching and hitting is 90% skill. Playing outfield running to the ball and catching is about the most physical aspect of the game. Not to knock it, you have to have amazing hand-eye coordination to catch/hit.

"I dont know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time were standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I dont know, you tell me. Next question

Try learning to do everything the sport requires, except do it while learning to skate.

toss up between soccer and hockey

both sports have a lot of similarities in the sense that they encompass other elements of team sports (passing, shooting, offense, defense, etc.) while having unique traits that are difficult on their own (puck handling/skating in hockey, foot dexterity and coordination in soccer)

but lol @ baseball even being included in the discussion

they are all challenging in their own respective ways. kicking a ball with precision across the field through an opposing team to score a goal is tough. so is hitting a baseball coming at you at +90 mph. ice skating is already hard as is, add controlling a puck with 5 skaters coming at you full speed....

imo, golf is probably the most complicated and requires the most skillset

golf really isn't that complicated though. there's no defense or anyone trying to stop you from sinking your shot. you have time to plan ahead and think with no distractions for every shot you take. people literally stop talking while you swing.

it's frustrating and requires patience but it's pretty simple and straightforward when you're actually playing it
