What was your best sport as a kid ??

[lg325]

Fishing

No Jew does fishing , bowling or pool
These are odd activities to me

I can't think of any Jewish wrestlers either. Lots of Moslem grapplers- but few of the Hebrew faith.

Plenty of Jewish athletes wrestle.

Really? I know there are a lot of Jewish boxers, but I can't think (off the top of my head) of any Jewish wrestlers. Lots of Muslims however, the Iron Sheik , the original Sheik, Abdullah the Butcher, Ayatollah Freddie Blassie, etc.

Triple H, I forgetten the proper word for it but he took the study to become a Rabbi. I read it in a magazine.

This is my best post lol

Wrestling has much injuries
That would be my biggest concern

 

[Quasar44]

Tennis has zero injuries

 

[iamwhatiseem]

I mean up to age 17-18 ??

As I said it was tennis for me. I was never the next Federer but I did make it to 4.5 level
My game had zero weapons but I had terrific speed , good endurance and I was super consistent Grinder !!
I was always out gunned but I was more consistent than my opponents and I had more speed and endurance

Track.... I was a mean 100 yard dasher, and a great asset to bring it home on a relay.

'Professional' Wrestling is not real wrestling. You know that, right?

It would be very hard to start wrestling in HS

Lots of wrestlers start in HS. It's not impossible.

Football I don’t love hitting or being hit.....

Did you ever try it?

Shotput, discus, triple jump and Rugby.

All about the timing.

I was the bomb at baseball.
Then i turned 14 and got a job. I lost interest almost immediately.

CLARIFICATION FOR SOME FOLKS UNDER 40....

Anything you do with a controller/mouse or other input device connected to a computer board... is not a sport.

Baseball. I got money hungry and practice was cutting into work hours.

No Jews in my HS played football
A few did hockey

Swimming never interested me ?
Imagine the utter embarrassment if you accidentally had a boner ??
You would have to transfer schools

The Pro game is a lot different than amateur wrestling, that's for sure. And there seems to be a lot more showmanship in Pro Wrestling as well.

Firestone is the high school I would have gone to in Akron, Ohio if my parents hadn't moved
out to the burbs......they had an olympic-sized swimming pool ( swimming and diving team)and a huge auditorium/gym where Aerosmith actually played (before their Get Your Wings - Toys in the Attic days...around 73 I guess)

Girls have it worse- worrying about 'that time of the month'.
