Which sport do you say is the most challenging/most difficult/ reqires most dedication/ is most rewarding?

My answer, filled with shameless bias is TRACK!
Track runners are some of the most self-abusive people i know.
It takes so much dedication- I went to practice every day expecting to die and i'd be so angry with myself if I went home from practice and wasn't sore the morning after.
Unfortunately track injuries have stopped me from running track- i love it nonetheless. =(

rugby because you have to put up with it despite all the horrendous injuries it's caused you in the past

Rugby. I play rugby and my gosh it take a LOT of effort. You always have to train, you gotta work on tackling, obviously it's not an easy sport, I've almost broken my knee, neck, nose, wrist, and hand. We need 15 players on the field at one time so we can't afford to not have players show up.

Yes, I agree. My dad used to play rugby on the amateur circuit in New Zealand and he hates that North Americans think that football players are so tough. I mean, in an average NFL game, football players run very little. Rugby players have to run further during one game than soccer players, even. Not to mention that they don't wear any padding and that their legs are as big as my entire body, practically.

Football players are tiny little wimps compared to rugby players.

Haha. I'm 5'0 tall but I'm very muscular. I almost played football, but then we started a rugby club where I live. I didn't even know what it was til we started the club. Now I'm in love with it. lol.

Think about it..How old were YOU, when you were 12?

I cannot believe no one mentioned basketball yet, though...I don't think you people realize how grueling those practices are.

Still, I have to say that the most difficult sports are golf and baseball. It amazes me how professional golfers can accurately place a golf ball with such ease and how professional baseball players can hit 95 MPH fastballs and curveballs, sliders, changeups, etc. with the same ease. Many people say that the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball, and I might be inclined to agree.

Every sport is challenging and takes dedication.

Well we don't play those and we all have different opinions. I get the shit kicked out of me at practices so therefore I think rugby is the most challenging.
