Throwing a football is fairly easy? Try putting some juice on the fucker and placing it, or throwing a bomb with some guts behind it. Try throwing left while running right. I don't think that's very easy. I may be biased here, as throwing is about the only skill I've been blessed with (I could rebound, but had no ball handling skills, and I did pitch very well, but made up for that by being a lackluster hitter [too much swinging for the fences... shocking, huh?]).
The breaking ball, no matter how hard it is to throw, is not as tough as the inside curve. I've tried to throw the inside curve a million times, and hit many people many times. People who throw it straight overhand amaze me. I'd love to know how they hold the ball. It doesn't seem possible to put that spin on it overhand. All I ever had was a fastball and slider.
I think basketball is harder than football. You're constantly thinking, and that's the hardest part. At least for me.

Basketball is by far the most skilled sport, because everyone must do everything (plus it's what I do). In football everyone is a specialist. Soccer is mostly about controll and spacing. Watch two good teams play, and you'll see very few "oh my god plays." There shouldn't be any.
And let's let the gymnastics thread die. Flower lettered in gymnastics in HS, and he doesn't need someone calling it faggy after all he's been through already today.
