In what team sport will you find the worlds toughest atheletes? (aside from wrestlers, boxers, or other personal combat sports).

I voted Hockey as we are dealing with average size men who take beatings daily.

Although I'm an NFL fan easily over anything else, I'd have to say Hockey. No doubt in my mind most of these guys could knock even the biggest NFL players flat on their .........

Rugby .......Is that same as Aussie Football? I have watched grueling Rugby matches and not sure if these are the same.

Lacrosse is pretty rough too.

Wilheim, if by tough you mean like working in the mill for 30 yrs then my vote goes to Rugby, with high school/college wrestling a close second. If you mean beating an apponent up then a martial artist gets my vote.....ScottyS

Read what it says below my picture. When I say I love so much to wrestle, i mean with sexy womans. I love to have my head in between and then they squeeze and squeeze sooooo much feels like the paradise!

General-

This is true but aren't they taking the beatings from other average sized men?

If we voted which game is more violent and thus populated with more tough guys, I would say football. I once heard something along the lines of getting hit by an NFLlinebacker is like being in a car crash.

For the purpose of this question, I voted hockey. It seems like more of them take tough licks, get up and skate to the bench or go after the puck. Also, they stand there toe to toe and with bare knuckles, fight a round, got to the box, wipe off the blood and come back onto the ice a few minutes later. Seems pretty tough to me.

Hockey. Because of the number of games played.
A guy may take a greater consistent beating in a football game but number of games played in a season is really the key.

Toughest of the tough were the old pre-mask goalies. Stop the period with let's say 5 minutes left. Give them time to put in about 50 or 60 stitches while the ice is cleaned by guys skating with snow shovels and pulling water machines. Then add the five minutes and play a 25 minute period with the same goalie back in there with still nothing protecting his face and the fresh 50 or 60 stitches.

HOCKEY. Where else do you have guys 5'5 160 skating at a high speed only to run into a brick-wall defenseman that goes 6'3 245? I would say the contact may compare to the NFL in that respect, but when you throw in the boards, there is no comparison. I'm a huge fan of open ice hits, but some guys just crumble against the boards.

Plus, the whole face is exposed. Rarely is there a game where someone doesn't get broken open and have blood drip down his face.

Finally, I rarely see NFL, NBA, or any other sport have guys out there with stitches on their face, broken jaws, black eyes, etc. They normally sit out.

SO yeah, HOCKEY it is!!!!!!!!! No question.

I used to play football in college and It is clearly tough but I will have to say the Hockey guys are the toughest. Their season never ends and they get their asses kicked everyday

'Need to give them UFC guys a look for certain.'

No question there, along w/ Pride and Muy Thai..u ever see Thai boxing. Their shins are liek baseball bats. But he said team sports, so thats why I came with Hockey.

I tell you what, as gay as this sounds, gynastics is brutal. Anything taht requires drastic dieting as well as top pperformance makes the sport taht much tougher.

Amatuer wrestling, boxing, gymnastics, skating, etc. Mentally and physically a nightmare living on the scales.
