Why is basketball and baseball even on that list? Hell, soccer is way harder to play than basketball. Try controlling a ball without your hands.

Toughest sport to make it as a pro? I'd say basketball. So many kids want to make it big in the US, but they're competing with tons of other players around the world for a spot on one of only 30 teams, with only 13 active roster spots on each team. There are D-leagues and various FIBA leagues in other countries too, but making it to the NBA as a pro is the goal, and it's tough to even get drafted with only 2 rounds.

Baseball and Football rosters are much bigger because there are more positions to play and they have much larger drafts accordingly. Baseball has 3 levels of minor league training, and NFL teams have practice squads, as well as Arena and Canadian leagues as alternatives to the NFL.

Your question isn't very clear...


Do you mean "hardest" in terms of the most difficult to make it pro? Or "hardest" as in most physically demanding?

If the first one, I'd think Football/Basketball would be the hardest to make it professional because of all the people that play it. If the second, I'd say football because it definitely takes a massive toll on your body. Hockey is probably second in terms of career/life shortening injuries.
