Poker.
I don't think poker is a sport.
at least I hope it's not a sport.
I don't think any sport is wimpy (at least those that I account as a 'sport')
What Sport In Your Opinion Is The Most Wimpiest? What sport do you think I the most wimpy/girly sport??

^ poker is a sport..
Cheerleading is soooo WHIMPY! You only get injuries from your 'teammates' dropping you on your face.
Badminton is not bad. Pros can get pretty scary,.. it's like a mix of Tennis and Volleyball..
Volleyball isn't whimpy. It's pretty scary when a volleyball is in your face.

because I'm a cheerleader, naturally, i have to defend myself.
cheerleading isn't easy. To most people, cheerleading
is just throwing your arms in the air and shouting and jumping up and down, correct?
but can you jump up in the air and touch your toes with a skirt on?
haha. that was dumb, but i hope you get the point.
besides, i got sore during the first day of practice, and my arms and thighs hurt from constantly being slapped.
anywho, i don't really think there is much a wimpy sport, but if poker is considered a sport...

"Girliest" sport? That's easy, it has to be CURLING. Any sport that combines ice skating and CLEANING (ie sweeping) wins hands down. Yikes, don't flame me 
Haha I agree, so wimpy.

OMG YES I was thinking of curling as I read the replies.

I'm sure badminton at a professional level looks very powerful. But every time I see amateurs playing...
LOL. Yeah, it can get annoying when people just lob the shuttlecock back and forth. Slowly...I play badminton and table tennis (decently) so I don't consider them girly sports (even if I am a girl) because I know they can be really hard.

curling is so HARD! eventhough it's the only winter olympic games that has a smoking area for their players, it's actually alotta fun when i tried it, and very challening.
wimpy sport would have to be bridge or poker... but dang it's soo funny watching hardcore bridge players.

Lawn bowling is like the wimpier version of curling.
So that automatically takes curling out of the running.
What about darts?

Anything with sharp objects is not wimpy. Ask Richard Zednik from NHL Hockey about it, got his neck sliced open by a hockey skate.

As a reference, I just found this:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sportSkills
It's a chart by ESPN that ranks a bunch of sports in terms of how demanding it is of the athlete. Fishing finished dead last.

Some of the rankings don't seem right imo.

If you're going by what's on TV, then even the National Spelling Bee (shown on ESPN2) would be considered.

Probably not, since it's all subjective. But generally I thought most of the rankings made sense.

Girliest - Synchronized swimming/cheerleading
Wimpiest - hmm looking at the table..........yes i agree billiards are very wimpy since they are only for old people who have no extra strength or stamina in playing sports.
I don't consider fishing a sport =p

I disagree about billiards. It takes a lot of skills to be good at it.
I think curling.

Rhythmic Gymnastics
Perhaps the girliest, almost all rhythmic gymnasts are female, but the wimpiest? I disagree.
Elite rhythmic gymnasts train for up to 10 hours a day, and if you've ever seen a professional rhythmic gymnast up close you would be surprised by how cut and defined they are and how much strident muscle they're able to put on their slight frames.
All of that hard work is so they can do stuff like this:

^ Why must one create a new account just to defend there own viewpoint?
It bothers me that 'girly' is being overused as an adjective for 'wimpy'.
The only thing that makes a sport 'wimpy' is when a player doesn't demonstrate enough effort, training, and sportsmanship.
It seems that people here have there own individual take on 'wimpy':
-Silent vs Loud Strengths (Physical vs Artistic)
-Performance and Outfits: being critical of an individuals capabilities based on their fashion sense?
-Fast vs Slow Sports (Viewing Preferences): some sports are better played than watched
-Popularity
etc
