And what if you had put your kid on skates before he or she could
walk? This comparison makes no real sense, you know. Regardless of
which is "more difficult".

I don't think either of the two sports are easy to excel at. Surely,
anyone who can walk kan kick a ball and anyone who can skate can
shoot a puck, to a degree. The hard part isn't learning either game,
it's playing without having to even think about the basics. Both
require stamina, concentration, endurance and incredible skill to play
at any professional level. This is why both soccer and hockey players
get paid ridiculous amounts of money to just change allegiance.

This whole argument is silly. Probably not as silly as crossposting
to both alt.ascii-art and alt.seduction.fast, but pretty much off the
deep end.

cheers,

     /Johan
