What would be the best sport to be a pro athlete in?
 

Hockey for me.

Good pay, travel with a team. 3-4 months off in the summer. 80 games a year. And I like Hockey.

You?

Golf would be prety sweet also as you could do it for a long time and is easier on the body.

I'll probably go with NFL kicker.

Re: What would be the best sport to be a pro athlete in?
 

Why would you ever pick hockey? Those guys get pretty torn up over the years, lots of arthritis and so forth.

NFL kicker isn't bad, nor is something like DH in baseball.

What would rule the most would be to be a dominating golf pro. Very little strain on the body (compared to other pro sports), awesome opportunities for sponsorships and so forth, and once you're a senior there's even more money to be made. That last point is huge; while another athlete would be completely finished at or before age 45 you can keep going for another 20 years as a golfer.

What sport has the least risk of life-changing injury?

I think that would factor into my decision.

Re: What would be the best sport to be a pro athlete in?
 

golf probably in terms of main stream sports.

Yeah you do have a point, you definitely have a chance of being a goat and everyone giving you all of the blame for a crucial loss. But you also have the opportunity to be the hero and you get all the perks of being an NFL player without having your body tore to [censored] by the time you retire.
