Stupid Sports
« on: May 05, 2004, 01:29:35 PM »
Okay, this sport helps me understand why my ancestors left Europe. Who would want to grow up being pressured to play these kind of games.

Yes, any sport that will probably leave you sterile, is definitely stupid.

I think Portugal has their equivilent to this, all be it is a lot more popular.

Well, who came up with the idea to drop a ferret down their pants and tie it in there?  HONESTLY!  Maybe the same guy who thought of swinging a bowling ball at kids faces for fun...

No, I won't.

I played tennis all four years of high school; it's just- c'mon. Many sports are rather ridiculous when you think about them.  Especially the violent ones like football and rugby and hockey.

Oddly, though I've always been very much a bookworm, I don't find sports pointless.  I think the physical activity is good for you, and there's actually a good ammount of mental activity involved.

What I don't get, admittedly, is watching sports.  (They run to one side.  They run to the other side.  They run back, they run the other direction....)
