Biggest Misconceptions in Sports

That the EPL is the best league in the world.

Scottish football needs a strong rangers.

That futbol's place as the #1 global sport is permenant....in reality, basketball has just as few barriers to entry, and the different ways and combinations you can play (5 on 5, 3 on 3, 2 on 2, 1 on 1, 21, half court, full court, HORSE..on dirt...pavement...hardwood...driveway, street...in your bedroom on the back of the door...etc) make it a SIGNIFICANTLY more accessible sport than soccer.

Hoops will surpass futbol before I die, and Olympic basketball will trump a world cup in cultural significance within 50 years.

No chance.....you don't realize juts how big soccer is in other countries. Like when I was in Cuba this past year all you saw was fields full of people playing soccer on the drive from the Airport. They live that shyt breh. Although basketball is a solid second. You see a LOT more basketball courts in other countries now than you saw 10-20 years ago. But its still got a loooooong way to go to catch soccer.

Probably #3 after Football and Cricket

cricked is played only in former british commonwealth countries (UK,India,Pak,Sri Lanka,South Africa,Zimbabwe,Australia...)
It's non-existent in South America, North America, Asia (outside cited countries), Africa (outside SA/Zim) or Europe (outside UK).
Basketball is played everywhere.

Yeah basketball is way more popular than cricket. Only posh English people and Indians play. Cricket.

Never seen anyone but this one Indian family play cricket in the park but wee boys are out playing football/basketball all the time.

the biggest misconception in sports today is this silly idea that Cam Newton has any chance at NFL MVP unless Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, and Tony Romo all have a season ending injury. @BuddyOmar knows.

Romo ain't no MVP candidate

 

[Maluma]

You can't give Romo no MVP

another QB with an undefeated record this year (and a higher completion percentage than Cam)

The cowboys suck tho

They only won 3 games

The only way he'll be a candidate is if they somehow make the playoffs and we know that ain't happening

true. plus Jameis is a more realistic MVP candidate. Dude is gonna at least triple his team's win total from the previous year, maybe even quadruple it

 

[HHR]

Momentum.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Super Star players like Lebron are lowkey the coach, gm, and team president. They make all the decisions, have all the power, make all the deals, and can do anything they want
