What sports have you played/do you play?

In high school, I played basketball and ran track and cross country. In track, I ran the 1600m and 800m. I was normally a power forward in bball.
I still enjoy all of these sports today. I run several road races per year. Basketball remains my favorite, just because it's the most fun, and because my height normally gives me an unfair advantage over regular people (I'm 6'5")

Same here. Basketball and track. I ran all distance events, all hurdle events, all jumping events (high jump, long jump, triple jump), and all distance relays (from half mile up to 2 miles).
I'm going on 40 years of age today and can still outplay most people half my age. I don't run anymore though because that shite sucks.
ETA: I came from a very small school. I'm only 6' tall, but at times I played every position on the basketball court. Mostly played point guard, but there were times when I was asked to guard the opposing team's center.
Also, in track it was kinda silly because our coaches had gotten together and determined that the football players would run the sprint events and basketball players would run the distance events.
I thought it was absurd because I was a better sprinter than I was a distance runner and I was one of the fastest guys out there.

Hell yeah it does. I used to do a lot of downhill mountain biking as well. Not anymore though. The 9 broken ribs put the kabash on that shite.
I used to ride an old GT Karakoram I actually found at a pawn shop for 70 bucks!
Damn good bike. Good for anything from downhill racing to observed trail riding. ETA: I also did motocross, skateboarding, BMX racing and freestyle BMX idiocy.
One sport I am considering taking up is competitive archery. I'm not going to get serious about it until I can build my own long bow though.
And I have been a serious billiards player for over 25 years.

Beginning your doxing career?
Youth/Highschool
Soccer (parents made me do it, I thought it was kinda gay and later didn't do it)
Some Football
Threw Shotput and Discus in track & field
Occasional pick up game of basketball or football
Today
I'll occasionally throw the football and still every now and then play a pick up game of basketball with friends. And on rare occasions I'll get my discus from high school out and throw it for nostalgia reasons. No real organized activity though. Hence why Im just a finely tuned ex-high school athlete

I'm too big of a puss to do downhill stuff. Seen too many broken collarbones and ribs on my friends.

I've broken 9 of them. Didn't know about a single one either until years later after I joined the military and had to have x-rays done for another issue.

Softball and basketball. I kinda feel like if I was 10 years younger I probably would have played college softball because *headtoss with arrogance* I was pretty kick arse.
I tried tennis and boy did I suck. Not sure I've ever attempted anything that I sucked at so badly.

Add golf and it would have been the Lesbian trifecta.

Exactly- it's like I was a lesbian except for my sexual preference.
