Subject: [Leica] R8 or Autofocus?

I find the discussion regarding use of an M6 for fast moving kids very
interesting.  I'm going through a similar decision process to determine if
an R8 or auto-focus SLR would be better suited for sports photography
(primarily soccer and basketball).  On one hand, I think with practice an R8
can do anything an auto-focus camera can do.  On the other hand, I "imagine"
a Canon EOS 1v or Nikon F5 can do it easier.  My question is can an
auto-focus camera "really" be easier for sports type photography?
