Hockey and Football are both violent in different ways.
Baseball has more accidental violence, mainly with hit batters or linedrives back to the box.
Basketball is the least violent IMO.

Hockey has got to be considered more violent than football.

why does it "have" to be? There are violent hits at high speed....but contact isn't necessary every play / possession, at least not significant contact. Football is a contact sport, every play requires contact of significant nature.Originally Posted by HoustonGM
I'd put it:
football
hockey
baseball
basketball

Well, I guess it depends how exactly you're "ranking" them. I think we can all agree that by any measure #1 and #2 are football and hockey. If we're going purely by how much physical contact there is in the actual gameplay, it'd be football. But, if we're taking into account things like fighting, which aren't part of the actual game, it'd be hockey.

It's got to be football. Contact is 100% necessary. Hockey is a close second. Yes, there is fighting allowed, but there's less contact on a consistent basis.
Baseball afterwards because of things like hit batsmen and linedrives hitting pitchers. Basketball last because you get a foul for even touching the opponent.
Funny, though, that the most egregious violent act seen in my lifetime (in American professional sports) happened in basketball at the Palace at Auburn Hills.

I would have to say football on this. Granted hockey is violent, but it is straight foward, checking and fighting. Football when a fumble happens and there is a pile, we honestly dont know whats going on.
A great Offensive lineman for the Raiders, Don Mosebar actually had his eye poked out due to a fumble and had to retire. Not only this but many more instances where we dont see whats going on, but people are getting hurt.

Nah...violence happens on every football play, it may be within the rules but what happens on the line every play is violent, as are most tackles that end a play. A good check in hockey happens many times every game but its not ongoing.

I agree on Parnell being the greatest of all time btw. What a pitcher! He's something else.

Look at it like, a tennis ball pegs you in the balls, face, or some where like that at full speed and you dont get a racket on it to protect yourself.

I've been hit by my friends' tennis serves and my friends' pitches. The baseball hurts A LOT more
