hypothetical question

[Chilwell]

Well as for me my best sport is football, after all football is the populous and common sports in my society, a lot of people in my society love playing it a lot, and I also love it too, must especially when I have nothing to do (at leisure), because it help me to exercise by body, it strengthen my body and bones, I feel really good whenever I played it, and i also love watching football matches play by others, its really fun to play football.

It brings both women and wealth, what more can you want?

don't all sports bring women and wealth as long as you are good at it and you have made a name for yourself?

Popularity of sport matters, don't it? I mentioned cricket because it's well-paid and popular sports here, other sport players are neither paid as much as cricketers and neither are they popular.

fair enough

i do see that more popular sports may be known generally even by people who are not into sports and that kind of popularity can lead an athlete to many sponsorships and just a whole lot of opportunities in general

i meant that if you were a promising athlete in any sport the community will probably worship you but again how is that sport perceived by the general public can also be deal breaker

[Z-tight]

Just a confirmation for what you read online that Indians indeed do love cricket, love for cricket is in their blood.

Lol, yeah, they love it so much, that is really wonderful. I don't even understand cricket, neither do i even know the rules, i may see if i will learn about it and its rules, it looks like fun, just that it is very unpopular in the part of the world where i live in, football is all we know here.

I think I’d pick Basketball, I’ve always loved the game but in my country we don’t have much basketball players that feature in international competitions like they do in soccer and a few other sports, so basketball wouldn’t be a bad choice, plus I’ve always admired those basketball players, their heights, body physique and everything about them so if I’m given a chance to pick a sport to feature in, Hell yeah it’d definitely be basketball without a second thought.

let us say that you are given a choice to pick any sport to excel in, like in a snap you will be like a world athlete already, what sport will you choose?

...
what about you?

I excel in track and field in my school days, i even participate regional athletic meets many times and national meet too. But that was the old days, i cannot compete to any athletes now probably because of height problem as i see many athletes now in track and field excel with those people with massive heights e.g. dash, run, and jumps, height does matter.

If i can choose now probably i'll do better in billiards same as OP and volleyball for team sports.

If I could be great at any sport I would choose tennis. I think it is amazing how tennis players stay focused and move quickly and think strategically. Tennis is also popular worldwide. I also like your choice of billiards. Your country has produced very good players. If you became pro and made your country proud that would be amazing. Tennis and billiards are similar because they require focus and precision and mental strength. Both need hard work and determination.
