Soccer will have to be my choice

I love baseball but I can't play... I can hit a ball if I don't have to make it fly that far.

Kendou comes third. While I never had a go at it, I'm just facinated with sword fighting.

@Beefy187: Why do you end Japanese words in English with a "u" (Kendou, arigatou, etc.)? I'm noticing people do this online more and more, and it baffles me.

I think that martial arts should not be on this list. There is a lot of difference between a combat sport and a martial art. Not making that distinction though, I will say martial arts, then fencing, then archery, then baseball.

Im confused by the whole Football and then American soccer choice.... i couldn't tell if this is a poster taking the mick out of american football by calling it american soccer... or if the poll maker is trying to make it clearer to americans...

Either way i voted for football as in the game mostly played with your feet..

Theres no particuler meaning in it. Most the martial arts (Kendou, Judou, Kyudou etc) as they have the word dou 道 at the end which represents the road. So Kendou =way of sword, Judou= way of softness? Kyudou= way of bow.

Arigatou just have a u at the end. Theres alot of words which doesn't end with a u so there isn't any meaning or rules.

Interesting. Until recent years, I've always seen words like these spelled, Arigato, Judo, Kendo, Aikido, etc. I've not seen Do, "Way," spelled Dou in martial arts books, sites, etc. ... I'll have to pay closer attention to see if it's prevalent, or if it's a regional/cultural thing (like honor vs honour, etc.).

When my mother spoke, for example, she would say arigato, not arigatou. The Oh at the end was short, no "oo" as a "u" suggests. She was born and raised in Sapporo before marrying my father and moving here to the states. A Japanese student and brilliant aikidoka from Fukuoka who stayed at my place for a couple of months pronounced these words the same way, so I'm puzzled by the "u" in spelling because I don't hear it in Japanese speech.

Oh well, heh, off topic (sorry). Thanks for the reply.

Where's soccer, or why is it "American" in your poll? Neither did the Americans invent soccer nor cars. Get over it.

Well I don't know much about Japanese but as I've read it is a way to indicate a long vowel. I believe the reason is that it is spelled with the respective Kana for "u", so using another "o" would be misleading.

Dodgeball, theres nothing else that can give you excitement of a sport with no pad or helmut protection along with the intensity of high impact objects being flung straight toward your face.

Snowboarding in the winter, mountain bikinging in the summer. Mother f. Alps ma~n!

It seems mountain biking has been ignored and exiled outside this post. During the summer this is what I usually do. About football: there I'm hopeless. Not my sport both in the European and the American varition. :shame:

What do I do during winter? Keeping fit with home excercises and walking whenever possible. Skiing and snowboarding is really not for me. I find curling to be interesting but I have never played it.

I have played a little tennis and karate but it is really far from mastering them.
