• Lebron is not better than Curry because Lebron has to go to a team with all super stars, while curry just showed up with a bad team and went all the way to the finals. And who beat the 1996 bulls record. The GSW did. Who broke the record of most three made. Stephen Curry did.

• In conclusion, I have proven to you that the Olympic game is overrated because it attributes to traffic problems and pollution and athletes who take drugs have a negative effect on the society. The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part but the…
• When you have 190 million people visiting one small, confined area all at the same time, serious pollution and traffic issues arise. First of all, the traffic will be congested. With human traffic, we see dangers, resulting in gigantic waiting times for not only tourists, but…

• Im not sure if my opponent did not post an argument due to inclement weather or some other reason. I hope all is well.
• The argument is whether or not a person should have their wins taken away. Im not saying that every person that does use a PED wins. thats not necessarily the case, what im saying is, that if they win, they didnt deserve to win. Like when playing a board game as a kid, you…

• Again I will state that we aren't changing the rule for only 6 players we would change it for everyone. This "strategy" affects everyone. Adam Silver who is the NBA commissioner agrees that something needs to change. There are many suggestions of how we can deal with this. "Ban…
• These rules affect the entire league not just the poor free throw shooters. Other players can not play to their full potential if all these fouls are called. Not to mention that it's a wuss move. Lots of the time this just drags the game on forever and is extremely…

• That's not an argument for girls not being on boys teams. That was an alternative. Girls should be allowed on boys teams, and some are, and where they have been allowed on teams have not caused harm to the teams. Look for wrestling and bowling
• Women should be able to join boy's sports teams. They belong in. Women can be just as good and have the same amount of skill. Notice the sport of wrestling. Although it's male dominated, women are allowed to join the team. They participate and face both boy and girl competitors…

• For my final statement: I do believe dance is a sport. Con has pointed out, that yes, I did not make myself clear in my title. But I tried to clear things up in one one of my rebuttals to explain I meant competitive dancing. To further my belief, dance is a sport, because it…
• Dance in overall is both, an art and a sport. Dance takes a level of skill and work. Going to a club to dance, is not what I am talking about. http://www.mibba.com... Ballet is a great example of a type of dance that is a sport. In fact, professional football players have to…

• I have to say, I am very disappointed by this site. This is not what I was looking for at all. Everything here is about semantics. I am not able to actually debate sports because every little detail is nit-picked. I will most likely never come on here again. Enjoy the win.
• Thank you for accepting this and posting an argument. You said: "I. There is simply no such thing as an "NFL Hall of Fame." There is a "Pro Football Hall of Fame," which places an emphasis on the NFL, but it is neither owned by nor exclusively dedicated to the NFL. As such,…

• I guess it all comes down to what you consider to be more important. I personally believe the integrity of the game is the most important, which means that the NFL should not compromise the nature of football just to protect its highly paid athletes who voluntarily assume any…
• I would agree that safety should be the number one priority, if the players did not have a choice in the matter. My argument on the pay of the players is actually a valid argument, because the point I was making through that argument was that the players have to assume the…

• Offense wins games, but defense wins championships, Tom Brady was successful in his early career because he had a great defense, ranked number 6 overall, Peyton's defense was ranked 29th overall, which meant he had to do most of the work.
• For all your arguments, i could say that tom also had the better team both offensively and defensively, which makes tom's job much less stressful compared to Peyton's job in which he had to carry the team by himself on his shoulders. He couldn't rely on his defense to get the…

• There is always going to be the debate of who is the best NBA player of all time. In my opinion LeBron will be the greatest player ever. Look at where he's heading. He's the youngest to ever score 24,000 points. His player efficiency rating is through the roof, but many people…

• My opponent believes that Johnny Bench's era is worse than Berra's, which would justify Berra's advantage in batting. It doesn't. How is Bench's era harder? Yes, I know Bench played during the later parts of the 1960s, but the 1970s was the same as the 1950s. Also, Berra also…
