How to run a this or that sports edition

  1. Pick 15 to 20 pairs from the sections above. Mix general pairs with a few for your group's main sport.
  2. Read each pair aloud as "A or B?" and give people 5 seconds to decide.
  3. Have people point left for the first option and right for the second. With a team, send them to two sides of the field or gym.
  4. Ask one person from each side to give a reason in one sentence.
  5. Keep a tally if your group likes scores, and post the results in the team chat.

Tips for sports this or that

  • Match the pairs to the crowd. A fantasy league wants strategy questions; a youth team wants positions and snacks.
  • Use the fitness pairs as a warm-up. Ten reps per round adds up to a real set by question 10.
  • Skip pairs about real players. Fans defend athletes harder than they defend snacks, and the game stalls.
  • Run the NFL pairs on Thursday or Sunday, when people already talk football.
  • Swap the last pair for a tiebreaker. "Overtime or Penalty kicks?" settles a close tally fast.

Frequently asked questions

What are this or that sports questions?

This or that sports questions are two-option prompts about games, teams, positions and workouts, such as "Football or Basketball?" or "Home game or Road trip?". Each person picks one side and says why. Coaches use them to warm up a team meeting, fantasy football leagues use them in group chats, and trainers use the fitness pairs to open a class.

Good this or that sports questions pit two appealing choices against each other, such as Offense or Defense, Football or Basketball, Underdog or Favorite, and Home game or Road trip. They split fans evenly, so people argue for their side instead of agreeing right away.

Try College football or NFL, Quarterback or Wide receiver, Snow game or Dome game, Super Bowl ads or Halftime show, and Field goal to win or Touchdown to win. These football this or that questions work at a watch party, a team meeting or a tailgate.

Read an NBA pair such as Three-pointer or Slam dunk, and have each friend pick a side and give one reason. Play during commercial breaks or halftime. Keep the pairs about plays, positions and events rather than players so the debate stays friendly.

Yes. Post one pair per week in the league group chat, for example Snake draft or Auction draft, or PPR or Standard scoring. Most chat apps have a poll feature, so managers can vote and the results show up in real time.

Read a pair such as Push-ups or Squats, and everyone does 10 reps of the move they pick. Run 8 to 10 pairs for a quick warm-up. Offer a low-impact option on every pair, such as Plank or Wall sit, so beginners can join.

Yes. Youth coaches use it before practice to warm up and learn what players like. Have players run to one cone for the first option and another cone for the second. Stick to positions, snacks and sports pairs, and keep it under 10 minutes.

The NFL section on this page lists pairs like AFC or NFC, Draft day or Opening day, and Thanksgiving game or Christmas game. For a random order, paste your favorites into the picker at /this-or-that-generator and draw one pair at a time.
