• I was hoping for a more practical debate. I understand your logic about proving that soccer trumps all sports but rather then wasting everyone's time you should have been able to present at least one other sport which is greater or present as many as you would like that you…
• I think the popularity of soccer is what makes it great. The difference between bush and soccer is rather obvious in my mind. Bush's popularity was mostly American and the more foreigners heard about him the less popular he was. While soccer is far more popular. "Popularity…

• I affirm. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do A: When you actually hit the ball, it is only on the bat for 1/1000th of a second, and the best of the best, normally only succeed 3 out of 10 times, for a .300 batting average. B: Consider that a fastball thrown at 95-100…

• Let me begin by defining spearing: the use of one player's helmet to punish another. [1] Helmets were added to football in 1943 to protect the head. [2] However, not only has it failed to prevent concussions and other head injures, it has provided confidence to players to lead…
• Rules: Round 1. Acceptance ONLY Round 2. Arguments Round 3. Rebuttals Round 4. Closing Statements

For

• I am arguing that hitting a 95 MPH baseball is the hardest thing to do in any sport. List your cons if you're against, but I believe it is because you have .4 seconds to react to the ball and .15 seconds to decide whether to swing, stand your opinions.

• "Sampras, John McEnroe and others declared Federer to be the greatest player ever Sunday" http://www.azcentral.com... Even if we can't compare them, I think Sampras knows how good he is, and if he said Federer's better, we should probally go with that.…
• The skill set is tennis is as strong now as ever. And you could say in one given year, yes maybe one slam is a little easier or a little harder. That is why you have to look at the players entire career. An entire era of tennis can't have only on good player. Federer has…

• Soccer/football is the best sport. The passion of the fans, the excitement of the game and the billions of people that enjoy playing the sport. Playing soccer/football takes no effort to organize, you don't need skates, or roller blades, you don't need a hoop and you don't need…
• Soccer is better than basketball for many reasons one is that there is many skills to do in the field like the 360, chilena, rabona and lots more. Second thing is that there are better celebrations than basketball because in basketball you just say good job but in soccer its…

For

• Yes because many other sports as evidenced in our schools do not get as much attention as they deserve. For example competitive swimming does not get the cheerleaders or the crowd that is given to football.

For

• I will NOT save my rebuttals for the end. I will Rebut my opponent's points now and give some more of my own: My opponent said that you could "play air hockey". The resolution we are debating has to do with if soccer is better "sport" than hockey. Air hockey is not a sport, no…
• I will start my first speech with two arguments on why the resolution "Soccer is a better sport than Hockey" must stand. Argument #1: Longer Games In a NHL, Olympic or almost every type of Hockey game the time frame is 60 minutes for a regulation game. Where as in MLS game or…

For

• I will be arguing that Michael Jordan is the greatest NBA basketball player of all time. In order to keep the debate simple, I'd ask you to choose one player to compare to MJ. Otherwise it could get confusing using many players and throwing out all kinds of stats. This is 4…
• As my first debate this has been very fun. Once again I would like to thank my opponent, he clearly did good research and knows the game of basketball. I should have made this five rounds. But anyway, in this round I will only discuss points already made and not bring in any…

For

• I thank my worthy opponent for making my case stronger. It seems we are in agreement on many things about this accursed "game," not the least of which is the danger that it poses to all law-abiding citizens everywhere. My redoubtable opponent not only agreed with my points, but…
• It is no lighthearted topic I bring before you today, gentle voters; no laughing matter that one could smile over at breakfast. No, this is a horrible problem, a chilling reminder of the evils that lurk in the dark corners of our civilization. It is an issue that has been…

• I hope this debate will be a lively one so, ideally, my opponent will be either a woman, a gay man, a timid old gentleman or an American as these are the groups of people that typically prefer tennis to F1. As you may be aware, it's the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend (1). Most…

• For this debate, I would really like a runner, who participates in both Distance Track and Cross Country. First, a couple ground rules when it comes to what can be debated. Distance Track shall be defined as the 400 meter dash, 800 meter run, 1600 meter run, 3200 meter run,…
• I would request that my opponent not respond in the next round. If he does so, he can levy attacks against my arguments without me having my normally allotted response. I should not have to suffer because my opponent skipped a round.

• If a anything has the qualifications of a certain word than that is exactly what it is. Guard just happens to fall under the definition of a sport. If my opponent says that color guard deserves respect and admiration, but is calling it an activity, then my opponent is…
• I will first start this round by asking you questions: Have you ever been to a guard competition? Do you know anyone who had done guard? The definition of a sport goes as follows: 1. competitive physical activity: an individual or group competitive activity involving physical…

• How many times do i have to explain that sports do not have to be competitive to still be sports? It seems like you are not grasping the definition that I gave in my first argument. It may not be competitive and it may be for entertainment but it is still a sport. I will define…
• I just explained, the definition of a sport is that it is athletic but not necessarily(although usually) competitive. therefore, since pro wrestling it athletic that makes it a sport.when i go surfing, swimming, hunting, or do a variety of sports i am not always competing at…

• Definitely hockey. In football, you fall on soft ground. In hockey, you slam into hard boards and solid ice. There are no weapons in football. In hockey, every player carries a stick that can do serious damage. If a football hits you in the face, your faceguard will protect…

• Everyone always says that Football is way more physical than Soccer, but that is not true in many ways. First I want you to think about it like this. Football players wear a lot of padding all over there body and yes take some hard hits, but soccer gets the same amount if not…

• Here are two quotes from rounds one and two of your argument. "I feel your argument is based upon opinion." "With that said I really feel that you have no argument." "I still do not believe that because something takes a few weeks longer to master makes it a better sport." As…
• It is agreed that both sports are difficult. Skiing, however, is more difficult than snowboarding given the points stated in round one. More specifically, the learning curve for skiing is steeper. I've seen snowboarders become extremely proficient (an ability to board well in…

• Thanks for accepting. Unfortunately I didn't have time to collaborate much evidence so i'll briefly explain why I think NHL is better than MLB. Solely because NHL involves more exciting moments. When watching baseball it is mostly about strategy than anything. Most of the…
• Round 2 will be arguments. Round 3 will be rebuttals. Thanks.

For

• Ah, I see. I misunderstood your topic then. I defined better as the fact that this one does better than another. Better can be used to define the premise of anything. My definition was basically on which one you preferred better and that it's hard to define if anything is…
• However, there is a huge difference between Statistics, and opinions. Yes, statisically this team may do better then another, but someone may think another team is better because they have a certain player or two. In and of itself, when you use the word, better, you always look…

• You have said nothing to negate the fact that paintball is healthy, and creates good skills, therefore, I have no more arguments.
• DrAcula, you don't seem to have taken a side on this debate, I didn't say that paintball is misrepresented as a good sport, I said it is misrepresented as a way to cause havoc by shooting old people. You also seem to overlook the fact that the point of paintball is fun, the…

• This is a very interesting topic and I look forward to debating it. Before we truly begin, I would like to clarify a few things. Chess as an Olympic event would be a lone entity. It would have no other events attached to it. It would be a match between two people. The winner of…
• In this debate, I will argue that the game of Chess should be implemented into the Olypmics. My opponent will argue the opposite stance. This debate will follow a specific structure and will have specific rules. In this debate, there will be no forfeitting. Sources, if any,…

• Messi does not need to prove himself in any other league with the success he has had in La liga. And we both know that Messi can't be compared with players such as Forlan and Soldado, becasue Messi is much better. It's not about Messi being scared to fail in the premier league,…
