Default Which Sport is the Most Macho?

Cycling and Drag Racing excluded, otherwise Commando and SRossi will never kiss and make up.

I reckon arm wrestling has its place.

Either Rugby (union) or American Football. (before you all start, I've played both and have been hit much harder and hurt more playing the latter. All that padding means you just don't care and go head first into anyone and anything).

Default Re: Which Sport is the Most Macho?

As a former motorcycle racer, I am claiming motocross and off road motocycle racing.

Not only dangerous and macho, impresses mere mortals not involved and also thrills the ladies.

The old course Paris-Dakar on a motorcycle has to be up there for the most macho event.

Default Re: Which Sport is the Most Macho?

Lacrosse is widely played by men in the eastern USA, especially at private schools. It can be a pretty macho affair....

I played club hockey at school in the UK. Are you questioning the nature of my masculinity?

Kabaddi is ace.


The correct answer is whichever one doesn't go around bragging how tough and macho it is

A good point , well made.

Of course, being all hard and macho like I am, I'll stick with Subbuteo.
