I don't know about the most /lit/ sport, it's been about four years since I frequented this board. I guess tennis might be it, there's a high degree of strategy, and with the David Foster Wallace connection it's certainly worth considering, however I would suggest Mixed Martial Arts is the most intelligent of all sports. The high degree of intelligence required to solve immediate problems preventing immediate bodily harm, while also attempting to formulate independent strategy and dictate the terms of engagement and end the encounter is unmatched in professional sports. There is a necessary caveat that an idiot always has the chance to win, but an idiot will always have a much harder time relying on luck to propel them to a winning record, as opposed to an intelligent coaching staff and firm gameplan.

Also sidenote, whatever the sport, the /lit/ member of the team will almost always be the coaching staff

Accept it anons. Embrace the gayness of bodybuilding. What is a mire but a type of gayness? When you gaze upon your own sculpted physique, have you not become gay for yourself like Narcissus trapped by his own reflection? To indulge your natural beauty is to be gay. Straight men will want to be like you and gay men will want to be inside you.
