	wide recIEver?

	ericwbolin:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 19:31 GMT		20 points
	You shouldn't be required to put both Designated Hitter and DH. one or the other. Or both, but not both in the same response. Upback, gunner, wedge buster and hands team aren't positions. But punter is, and it's missing. What is a stopper? Sweeper is iffy, too, but I can buy that one. Why not attacking mid or right mid or whichever? Not a bad idea for a quiz, but could use a bit of work.

	And just to pile on, proFessional sports.

	Linvillin:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT		2 points
	i agree. needs work.

	footbllboy1116:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT		6 points
	first off you spelled wide recEIver wrong notice the capital letters. also hands team really isnt a position same with wedge buster but you did leave out a key position in punter

	vigilante072:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT		8 points
	you put in upback, wedge buster and hands team, which are not actually positions listed on a roster, yet you forgot punter?

	footbllboy1116:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 19:42 GMT		3 points
	also like ericwbolin you should have to put both designated hitter and DH, either answer should be acceptable

	Chris111985:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 20:00 GMT		3 points
	Another couple of things on the football positions. Gunner is not an actual position and a fullback is a running back. If you want to include fullback then there should be halfback not runningback

	greatestever:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 20:02 GMT		2 points
	agree with most of tha comments here. punter was forgotten and you added 4 categories which are not real positions on a depth chart. and you can type in wing for the hockey positions and get both but you have to put designated hitter and DH for that position in baseball...now thats just crazy

	fordefr:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT		3 points
	Your spelling is terrible. And the football positions need working. Being on the hands team is not a position. You need a lot of work on this.

	Freddie:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 20:21 GMT		1 point
	And your MLS (aka soccer) positions are off. You need Striker, Winger, Sideback, Centerback/Centreback and forward in there. I've no idea what a 'stopper' is.

	alpha:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 20:33 GMT		2 points
	designated hitter isn't a position at all, but if you are going to put it on there, at least make it so it works

	skittles:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 21:23 GMT		4 points
	@ Freddie: Stopper is a type of centre half (or "centreback"). And sideback? That's called fullback, like he's used.

	tazer:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 04:56 GMT		3 points
	also a few alternate answers for goalkeeper. i tried goalie, goaltender and netminder and none worked

	scherny05:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 05:36 GMT		4 points
	wow

	awix:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 05:48 GMT		2 points
	agreed, good idea. take the input given and make some changes (btw when i ran out of football positions, i typed in hands team as a joke, dont really agreed with the inclusion though. maybe as a bonus answer?)

	sehh:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 05:59 GMT		6 points
	learn how to make a quiz. There are ways to accept more than one answer.

	ncr1119:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 06:09 GMT		3 points
	First base, second base, and third base should be accepted instead of having to type baseman for each one. And designated hitter didn't work for me.

	thestorm80:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 06:36 GMT		4 points
	fix designated hitter. It doesn't work. Punter is a football position. Accept "keeper" for "goal keeper". Spell "receiver" correctly ("i" before "e" except after "c" or when sounding like "a" as in "neighbor" or "weigh" . . . c'mon its like second grade stuff here)

	roguetrader:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 14:05 GMT		1 point
	I agree with what earlier commenters have said regarding MLS positions-need work. "Striker" and "winger" need to be on there. They're both types of forwards, so you can work that as you will as far as accepting "forward." I used to play "stopper," but I was 12 and I don't think it's a real position, and sweeper, too. "Center-back" or "center fullback" would be more like it.

	NinedenLtD:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 15:36 GMT		2 points
	It is absurd that typing "Guard" or "Forward" get 4 or 3 answers, but it takes so much extra to get simple things like keeper, DH, QB...

	canuckster19:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 15:44 GMT		2 points
	use official roster positions, in European football there are only 4, goalkeeper, defender, midfield and forward, if you want to be more specific, there are about 30 various positions none of which you have listed. With regards to American football, go to NFL.com and find me on a team's roster list where it says half those positions... yet magically you don't have Punter which is an actual position. I also know you have used wikipedia as your source for the NFL... not bright IMO.

	Should've known, if the title was spelled wrong there were bound to be other spelling errors/problems.

	GoVolsGo:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 16:47 GMT		4 points
	let's get real, this quiz sucks. you can't spell, and you seem to have a knack for inventing football positions.

	rammsteiner:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 18:11 GMT		3 points
	horrible

	b_rabbito:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT		4 points
	just awful.

	Mogilny:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 18:21 GMT		4 points
	really? "designated hitter (DH)"?? wide "reciever"?? "proffesional" sports "posistions"?? dictionary time, dude.

	weeps:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 18:31 GMT		1 point
	I knew this quiz was going to be hilarious when "half back" wasn't accepted. Managed to get "upback", thinking it was a soccer position.

	joebob82:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 18:58 GMT		2 points
	hands team is a special teams unit for recovering onside kicks, not an actual specialized position. it is a unit, like the players who go out for field goal situations is called the field goal unit. get yo **** together moron

	Canadians, who play the most hockey per capita among Anglophone North Americans, spell it "defence"

	wow this quiz sucks

	Cat_Girl:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 20:36 GMT		2 points
	Quiz has been up almost a year and nothing's been fixed?? Doofus. Maybe someone will put up a real version of this quiz, because I'd like to take it.

	PublicEnemy:	Oct 16th, 2010 at 20:47 GMT		1 point
	Please just re-do the whole quiz, start from scratch.

	I know there has been a lot in the news about cyber-bullying and suicides and such, so let me say this as gently as I possibly can. This is the worst quiz in sporcle history. It has at least fifty things wrong with it. Not only should you delete this quiz, but you should delete your account, and move to Norway. If you already live in Norway, you should move to outer Mongolia where no one has ever heard of sporcle.
