Soccer > Basketball

I will start by rebutting your arguments and then continue by making some of my own. 1. Excitement I agree with you that there is more scoring in basketball... It's a fact. But I think that's what makes soccer better. In basketball the same thing is happening throughout the game... A ball is put through a hoop over and over again each team hoping they can put the ball through they're hoop more times than the other team. Where as in soccer a goal is not come by often making the one or two goals scored much more exciting. 2. Entertainment for fans As I said before scoring a goal as extremely exciting in soccer but that's not the only exciting thing. If you pay close attention you will notice the skillful footwork and the perfect passes starting opportunities to score. A goal can happen at any moment, fans can excitedly watch waiting patiently for the moment their team breaks away and puts the ball in the back of the net. And probably the most exciting the in sports is a part of soccer. A penalty shoutout. A shootout occurs when a winner is required and the game is tied at the end of 90 minutes. 3. Essentiality I agree that sports create a constructive outlet for people... But your only considering one part of the world. In other countries where they're aren't basketball goals what are they going to do? If they have any kind of ball and any objects to mark the goals they can easily start a game of soccer. Now I will begin my own arguments. 1. Soccer is played worldwide Soccer is the most played sport in the world. That's a fact and can't be argued with. Basketball however isn't even the top sport in the US. 2. Soccer gives you pride for your country In the World Cup countries from all over the world come to compete for the title of world champions. Basically one month that completely revolves around soccer. Soccer unites the whole world, people from all the countries competing come to support their team. They come to the stadium wearing their countries colors, countries flags, faces painting excitedly cheering on their team. When does basketball bring this kind of global excitement? The Olympics? They aren't completely about basketball. 3. Soccer is more difficult Because you use your hands everyday for nearly everything and all your feat do is help you walk it makes sense that it is easier I will start by rebutting your arguments and then continue by making some of my own. 1.

Soccer is more difficult Because you use your hands everyday for nearly everything and all you feat do is help you walk it makes sense that it is easier to move a ball with your hands than with your feat. Shooting a basketball although takes plenty of practice can be mastered by learning correct form, where as shooting a soccer ball can be quite difficult, especially with a keeper standing in the goal blocking your shots.
