#1 Cross Country
#2 Marching Band(may sound funny but you have to try it to know)
#3 Soccer
#4 Water Polo
#5 Wrestling

My top five lazy sports would have to be.....(I have a feeling this is going to offend people)

#1 Baseball
#2 Tennis
#3 Basketball
#4 Track(I speak of the field events and sprinters. Distance is still tuff)
#5 Football
Are you kidding me? If you play Rugby,Basketball,NFL you need to be way fitter then a soccer player,I have no idea what your on,have you even played those sports? ive never seen a sweaty soccer player,its piss easy half the time you dont even run,basketball is way more enduring.

In soccer, I usually play midfield, and our defense sucks, so I usually do all the running. I'm not sure if basketball is more tiring, thanks to air-conditioned gyms, but also because everything in absketball is either
a) a foul
b) not a foul, but a reason to stop the game for 13 seconds.
I respect and honor basketball players, but from what I've gathered, I run and sweat more in soccer than in basketball.

basketball is full on running 24/7 and for the air conditioning thing you play in the bloody open air! If you play defence in soccer atleast you get time to walk. Ive played soccer and basketball and bball is defently harder, soccer is social

If your getting chased off a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel then onto a small see-saw then through a ring of fire. They are trained for that!

Thomas Jefferson
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore by the constant companion of your walks."

Good enough for me.

I have played a bunch of sports in the past, but now all I do is tennis. And to Squeaks, who listed tennis as the second laziest sport, thats just total BS. Same with basketball. If I had to list the sports which I thought were lazy sports, the only two I could think of are golf and baseball (disregarding poker, billiards, etc)
