The preplanned/"scripted" nature of the routes that players are running removes creativity/quick thinking from the equation (excluding the QB, of course) and makes it more a display of athleticism, imo

If you consider billiards a sport....a good argument could be made for billiards. Geometry, future positions and strategies...

In terms of athletic sports, there is definitely a mind game to tennis that is underrated.

Lol at people mentioning team sports.

Tennis by a long way. There is a reason the top players are so stoic, it is a mental chess match lasting multiple hours.

its gotta be a team sport. you just don't think about what you're doing, you're thinking about your teammates abilities and what they can do as well.

i'd say hockey even though im not a fan of it

All sports require fuk all intelligence, so I think it's a moot point anyway.

I'll probably go with NFL - QB, if I had to make a choice.
Real Madrid, Miami Heat, New York Jets.

Uwotm8? The opponent can't even do anything to your play or ball and you have all the time you want to think.

High skill but intelligence? There is pretty much one way to play every course, you just have to execute.

It depends on the level you're playing on.

High-level professional MMA requires an insane amount of fight IQ just to stay conscious. But an idiot with a decent chin can see some success at the local YMCA.

I'm not sure running REQUIRES intelligence, but the distance running teams I see at schools almost universally have the highest GPAs. Perhaps because it's a sport of intensely delayed gratification, which--as per the Stanford Marshmallow Test--we see in those with higher IQs.



ETA: if we're talking boxing, uh... ya may start out smart but ya won't stay that way. Dat head trauma.

I don't think fighting requires huge intelligence. It's more of a spatial awareness and physical conditioning sport. I'd say probably Chess (yes, it's considered a sport by the International Olympic Committee).
