Current Events > Ninja- Sports are easy, unlike my video games which require freak level skill

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ninja is one of those people that watch sports and says it looks easy and he could do it

It'd be funny if they got rid of extra points and fieldgoals and just replaced it with an unrelated e-sports task. just have one designated nerd on each team's roster

Well, hes not entirely wrong. When youre paid five million dollars to just be a kicker, then miss four in a row from the ten yard line, it really makes you wonder.

I mean, I was routinely hitting those... when I was in gym class.... when I was ten...

Each team could have a hacker who's sole purpose is to hack into the opposing teams communication equipment and mess with them.

I'm also thinking we just put ninja on the field and let him be on the receiving end of an NFL tackle.

Someone who plays Fortnite shouldn't be talking about skill

Both require different skill sets. I'm sure he knows this and is just joking.

I'll take "Things Nerds Say" for $1000 Alex

Isn't this the same guy that said streamers should be exempt from rules against cheating?

Teams will drop kickers in a heartbeat if they fuck up though

---

Huh. He's actually right on kickers.

i would usually clown on Ninja for his shitty tweets, but after our kicker being a shit show and making a big fucking scene into us signing him. I say fuck kickers and fuck Robbie Gould

Say what? Fuck Cody Parkey. Ninja is right for once

He has no idea whats hes talking about. Kicking the ball can be very difficult especially when your team is depending on you to make that field goal to secure a win. Its a lot of pressure. Thousand of people in the stadium are screaming at you plus millions are watching at home. Thats not even comparable to get into a stage and playing Fortnite.

Kicking a ball at an angle where it wont hit the defensive line is also more difficult than it looks. Anyone can go to a park and kick a ball as far as they can but not everyone can kick it at a certain angle under immense pressure.

Ninja probably has never played a sport that required athletic ability in his entire life. This man couldnt even qualify in the game hes known for. Fraud.

This is exactly what happens in Fortnite and the other major esports. Like, I know nothing of the physics of kicking a football, so I'm not saying Ninja's right or wrong, but he knows this pressure.

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is ESports Real Hahahaha Ninja Just Click On Your Opponent's Characters On The Screen Like Ninja Move Your Wrist Haha

Its not the same kind of pressure. Esports players wear headphone to block out all the extra noise which helps immensely. Plus, football is an entire different beast from any video game tournament ranging from whats at stake to how the fans are. Its not a big deal if Ninja loses. There are other big tournaments and his fan base doesnt give a shit. If a kicker messes up, he let his team, millions of fans watching, all the coaching staff, the owner of the team, and whomever else Im not mentioning down. People pay money and travel to these football games. People place bets and do all the crazy stuff football fans do to support their teams. Of course the pressure is different.

Didnt the Patriots already try that a bunch of times

True facts.

With some hard work anyone can play any sport.

The reflexes required to play video games competitively you're either born with, or you're not.

lmao esports

I sure hope he knows this and is just joking. If not, then I'd love to see him try to hit a fastball or make a 40 yard field goal just to prove that he's right. I'd watch that video.

If I were a professional football player I would just catch the ball. Simple as that.
---

Well, if professional football players who have been kicking for years are missing kicks that must mean.... *gasp* Its not easy and is actually quite difficult!

Lol fuck this nerd.

He seems stupid.

Because what he brought up isn't about skill but nerves.

Guess he doesn't know the human body doesn't always work under pressure.

Thise kickers obviously hit the mark in practice runs but fail when in a real game with giant crowds and laughing enemies.

>garbage human being who thinks he's important says dumbass thing
>ce gives the garbage human being attention

Uh huh

I don't think it's quite as easy as he's making it out to be. There's a reason kicker is a designated position and not just something the other players take turns doing

SHITTIEST RESPONSE EVER

Nah I can see way worse responses every day

In terms of the kicker... yeah that's tough. Weather conditions, 50 muscular alpha male teammates, 60,000 people staring at you, millions on TV

How can someone be paid millions to fight and lose?

???

Man this kid needs to be put in his place.

The mental pressure of a clutch kick, this kid will never understand.

Good kickers have a 85% hit ratio.

Ninja does not hit 90% of his shots in fortnite, nobody does.
---

Again people, Ninja is not talking about intense, clutch kicks. He specifically says "simple kicks".

In other words, when you're teed up in the middle of the field, up by twenty, at home, on the ten yard line, missing repeatedly is, quite frankly, unacceptable.

When a QB misses a baby checkdown throw, people get mad.

When a corner or receiver gets a ball thrown right into his hands, and can't convert the pick/catch, people call him on it.

When a fighter trains for months, then fails to block basic attacks and gets beat in the opening ten seconds, people mock and ridicule him.

The kicker position is no different. People are expected to do the thing they spend half their lives training for and are paid millions to do. Imagine that.

Anyone, really? And are we still talking about college and the pros, as referenced in the tweet?

That might be the worst take I've heard ever that did not involve politics.

Even those kicks require a mental toughness. Kicking in front of millions of people LIVE is a lot different than doing it in practice.

Seriously not anyone can be a kicker. You need a leg, you need a mental toughness he most certainly DOESN'T have just based on how much of a baby he turned into as soon as his stupid ****ing tweet was criticized. Again a good kicker hits 85% of their kicks. Ninja wins what percentage of his fortnite games?

Now if we are being real ANYONE can be a pro gamer...there is very little need for talent. Just a lot of time to spend in the game.

That's just a pro gamer, the bar for entry to being a pro streamer is even lower. You just need to be entertaining to your core audience, you don't even need a good personality, as can be evidenced by a litany of shitty people on the platform.
