 With all the G-Forces pushing on that car, I'm sure it takes tons of strength to steer a race car, but even at that, It's more of a competition than a sport to me.MLB: Minnesota Twins
 NFL: Philadelphia Eagles
 NBA: Chicago Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves
 European Football: Manchester United, Brighton & Hove Albion
 NCAA: UNI Panthers, Iowa Hawkeyes

 Re: Uncommon Opinions
 
 I call NASCAR a sport (or a sporting event), but I don't call the drivers athletes. I call them drivers, or racers. That doesn't mean I don't think they're athletic or don't require athleticism to drive those cars. "Athlete" is just not a term I give them though. Just like someone not calling their stepfather "Dad," despite their father-like qualities, behavior, and characteristics. Just the way you call the person, is all. Nothing more.
 
 And apparently it's uncommon that I believe a movie's ending shouldn't be allowed to be spoiled in a general discussion thread about films, regardless of how long ago it's been released.

 Uhhh I can gaurentee you that steering a stock car at 200 mph takes a heck of a lot more athletic ability than swinging a golf club or a ping pong racket.Comment

 Re: Uncommon Opinions
 
 I don't think you can be unathletic and drive a racecar.
 
 Doesn't mean watching Nascar isn't crazy stupid boring though.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn

 Tony Stewart says hi.
 
 I'm the other way around. I enjoy watching NASCAR. Some of the drivers may be athletic, but it doesn't take athletic talent to drive a car.badComment

 Athletic ability? Really? Skill? I'll give you that. But athletic ability to steer a car? Idc how fast the car is going, at the end of the day, you're steering a car. Athletes: football players, basketball players, baseball players, hockey players, swimmers, tennis players, etc....but race car drivers?
 
 Again, I'll say it takes a helluva lot of skills to do that. But to call them athletes? Naw.Originally posted by MoJust once I'd like to be the one they call a jerk off.Originally posted by MoYou underestimate my lazinessOriginally posted by Mo**** ya

 Re: Uncommon Opinions
 
 It takes zero athletic ability to tackle someone carrying a football. All you are doing is falling down on someone.Comment

 Re: Uncommon Opinions
 
 Apples and Oranges. Comparison isn't the same.
 
 If we're considering skill/dexterity athletic ability then by your example magicians and pickpocket artists are athletes as well.Comment
