COP OUT. This is exactly the place to argue. Continuing... To adequately define which sports are hardcore, I think first we must define what it is to be hardcore. To me, hardcore represents more grit than finesse, more violence than flare, and more contact than freedom. Any sport that rewards acting and drama is definitely not hardcore. Lacrosse is hardcore, curling is not. Rugby is hardcore, basketball is not. Hockey is hardcore, soccer is not. Disagree?
I think Golf is hardcore... you gotta be able to drive your way to the next hole.... swing a club like a complete tool... and wear "kick my own ass" clothing.
Soccer is not hardcore and Rugby and Football are completely different games. However, Soccer, in my opinion, is a good sport. If you can't recognize the value in some college degrees and some aspects of a college education in general then you're ill informed, or naive. Frat fucks? Hahahaha. You have got to be kidding me...
