A sport where it's athlete doesn't have to try to degrade other sports so that they can feel good about the miniscule and mediocre work they do and call it a sport.
Quite frankly the ultimate sport.

Soccer Player: You don't do anything in cross country it requires no skill
Runner: Sure *goes and sprints mile intervals for 2 hours*
Soccer Player: I try to degrade other sports because I know soccer isn't a sport
Soccer Player 2: Dude your dick is tiny
Soccer Player: That's because I don't do a real sport
Runner: Sure *goes and sprints mile intervals for 2 hours*

Cross Country is, in my opinion, the BEST sport in the whole world! I'm not gonna be some arogant fool going around making fun of other sports cause I know how it feels. I know football takes a lot of hard work and practice. Wrestling, Soccer, Swimming, Baseball, Basketball. Most sports do. I'm not here to make fun of them because thats not how i roll. But seriously, To all those ignorant fools out there, Cross Country is in fact a SPORT. So all we do is run... so what! we don't need to have a ball or plays or anything else. Cross country is extremely physical, and mental as well. We train for miles and hours. The races aren't just a bunch of crazy kids running, it's all about planning ahead, pacing, and mentally defeating the other runners. It takes so much hard work. And track as well.. It's not the same at all, but it's still hard. I'm not gonna make fun of the sprinters cause they do like 1/50th of the distance we run. Thats okay, it's hard work. We do it, not for fame (cause its not all that popular)but to see how much we can push ourselves. To the limit.
But seriously, everyone out there who's hating on xc, you need to get over yourself. and btw, Cross country runners are not gay because they wear short shorts. What does that have to do with it. If xc runners are gay, then i guess wrestlers are too cause they wear those tight uniforms. Whatever, I'm just here to say that xc is tight and thats that.

The toughest and best sport of all. Takes extreme amounts of dedication and skill to be good at. Besides being a physical sport, cross country is also mental and the top runners must be able to push even when they are tired. People on the team run no matter what, even if there is rain, sleet, snow, ect. Some people make fun of cross country runners and claim it isn't a sport, but they are just jealous that they are out of shape and can't run more than 1/4th of a mile. And no, we are not gay just because we wear short shorts.

A great sport that requires both mental and physical strength.... but you have to be careful or you can screw up your body, especially if you're a girl.... it requires hours of training and is an awesome sport.
I just got home from xc, and my shin splints are killing me,give me some ice,the remote, and some food... man if cross country girls got injured less, they'd be called football players*falls onto couch and sits there for hours*

The most difficult sport. Cross country requires both skill and a work ethic. People who don't like cross country are just mad because they can't do it.

Cross Country (from a ex-XC runner's view)
Side affects may include but are not limited to:
-strong comraderie (some call it super gay, we call it bromance)
-super manly looking legs (until we have our girlfriends shave them for some god-awful reason, seriously we weren't even drunk)
-abs that you can wash your clothes on
-the ability to run from the po po when they show up to a party uninvited
-GETTING MAD BITCHES! (actual results may vary)
Now let me turn on nerd mode. Why people call cross country runners gay / crazy:
Running scares the hell out of most people because it hurts. Anybody who likes pain is a nut. No arguement. Myth confirmed. As far as the gayness goes, yeah we play a lot of grab ass at practice, because you have to have fun to deal with the bullshit thrown at you in practice. That's not why you call us gay. You're scared as hell that somebody enjoys that pain and are...dare I say...intimidated... in the subconcious. Not because were so massive *sarcasm*, but because we just won't fuckin quit.

the best SPORT out there. it takes a certain type of person to run cross country and to enjoy it. Distance runners love running and are superior to everyone else. runner girls are the best looking and thats just one of the many positive points of cross country.
