what sport do you think requires the most intelligence to play? srs

from awareness, to creative thinking, to quick thinking etc. obviously every sport requires intelligence to know when to do this or that. Which do you think requires the most?
bench - 320 x 1

squat - 360 x 1

Def not handegg. Just running into a pile of men without any thought at all hoping you can either plow through them or get through a gap to run your handegg to the end of the field.

Well it kind of depends on the position.

A quarterback and a linebacker both obviously use more critical thinking skills than an offensive guard.

MMA would have to be up there.

Def not soccer. Just running past a bunch of twinks kicking a ball in the grass hoping you can kick the ball into a giant net or flop and pull a red card
Hm.

If you're reading this, you're probably a *******

Rugby, hockey, and boxing come to mind. If we are talking intelligence and not athleticism than golf may have a place in the discussion as well.

None of them really

Maybe golf, you can do a lot math to figure out the perfect angle shot, but I doubt even tiger woods did that.

Yes, every single sport is 100% pure athletic ability and requires zero critical thinking or any sort of intelligent thought process whatsoever. Quality post.


QB in football. Pitching in baseball. A couple people mentioned golf, I think that one is up there for sure.

This. A lot of it all boils down to natural talent, thousands of hours of experience, etc. I don't think even the top golfers are doing math, I think they go by feel/experience. Sure one or two athletes in a particular sport may be intelligent. But I don't know of any sport that's intelligence based.

Going to go with 15's rugby or polo.

Rugby
- Strategically placing yourself in the best position to move forward by passing backward
- Oh yeah, you can pass backward, grub forward, or punt away (more if/then situations to run through mentally)
- Processing where nearby defenders are on the field to brace for hit
- Also just processing the sheer fukton amount of people on the field.
- Does not provide constant start/stop opportunities of football. Game is constantly in motion
- All of the above essentially makes the game Human 4D Chess

Polo
- The pass/score/defend strategy of hockey but there's a 900lb animal between your legs.
- There's a fuking 900lb animal between your legs.

Do you realize how much nfl players study? Every play is scripted and memorized, and hours are spent trying to find tenancies in other players and figuring out how to counter an exploit it. Thats why so many QB's with extraordinary arm talent flame out of the league quickly. Can you be good at football if you're a dumbass? Yes, but I'd argue the same for any other sport
