The pro sport leagues*: EPL, MLB, MLL, MLS, NASCAR, NBA, NFL, NHL, WNBA.
What athletic sport is winning? Well, they all are because they exist. What pro sport season lasts the longest? The NHL does from pre-season to post-season (about 9.13 months). What pro sport league has the shortest off-season? The NHL, again, from the last game of the playoffs to the start of pre-season (about 2.87 months). What pro sport league is second in both of these categories? Ooh, tough one. It's NASCAR (has about a 9 month season).
What pro sport league has athletes that burn the most average calories? Your guess might be the NFL. That is a smart guess. But, it might even be the EPL or the MLS with all of the running done in in soccer. What pro sport league is the most physical on the body? The NFL. They have the largest athletes and some of the largest body impacts (an extreme hit can reach roughly 150 g-forces!) What are the only two pro sport leagues that have a longer off-season than their in-seasons? The NFL and the MLL. So, what pro sport league, based off this information (non-scientific by the way), is the most grueling? I'm going with the NFL followed by the NHL. The NFL has the most grueling calendar year (in-season from August to February; Team workouts from April to June; Pre-season camp from July to August...coupled with all of the interesting injuries that NFL players amass. In fact, football injuries alone catapult this sport to the top of the most grueling list.
Every sport is subject to concussions. But, when looking at the incidence of concussions guess who leads the way? Hints: they have plenty of lawsuits to deal with right now. They are being sued my many former players. Yup, the NFL most likely (actually, this number is an embellishment so far. According to one source, high school concussions are led by football, then ice hockey, then girl's soccer.) If anyone has any good statistics on this topic, please fill free to share.
On a lighter note, which sport is the most fun to play? Well, that is up for grabs. I have my preference. But, any sport can be fun to play. Just play it at the level you can play.
