Which sport takes more guts and hard work?Cross country or U.S football?

Answer 1

Each has their own parts.

Some Cross Country runs can be over 6 miles long. Football guys don't run that far.

There is a huge amount of weight lifting done by both folks.

Football, you tackle people. Cross Country, you don't

Answer 2

Football

Answer 3

Cross Country, because it takes a lot of self determination and motivation to run long distances and not stop till your done. Football players only run a little bit, plus they wear pads and have refs that keep everything safe. Ok, sometimes there are big hits that people get injured by, but overall Cross Country is harder.


Rugby is harder than football, they don't wear pads and they hit just as hard, if not harder, than football players.

Answer 4

Being at the top of any sport requires constant intense training. A runner isn't going to do anywhere near the same amount of heavy weightlifting as a football player, while football players won't do anywhere near as much distance running.

Answer 5

I would say that cross country requires stricter physical conditioning that American football. However, there are plenty of athletes in the NFL that could compete in cross country but I doubt that the reverse is true.

Answer 6

Cross Country and fotball are both hard but Cross Country is super hard. Running every day and eating super healthy. It is hard to run far too.

Answer 7

Seriously, is that a good question? Both sports are hard, both take hardwork and determination, you can't judge which takes more, they are two completely different things. I mean, are we TRYING to get a fight going? Can you say antagonizer?

Answer 8

football hands down!
