If this will turn into a sports bashing thread after all, perhaps it is you all who might be locked in here. :feb:

Yeah, I do not understand the first one at all, and water polo does nothing for me.

...Or wait, do you like them? :blush:

This is an outrage. Tennis deserves its own thread.

I don't know if it can beat the awesome excitement that is Cricket. My cousins brother in law plays for the Trinidad cricket team, and I have had to watch video of his matches and it was all I could do not to pry my own eyes out with a toothpick.

I am confused as to the purpose here~ are we making fun of sports we think suck, or defending those that we like but OTHER people think suck?

Becasue I like rock climbing/mountaineering. And i think Cricket is the sport of the damned, not unlike golf.

I think it's a free for all. SVS used to be my favourite person in the entire world, but then she mocked cricket, and now she is dead to me :p

Both! :biggrin:

Mainly it's a place where I can exile Rico, so he can stop talking about other sports in the fantasy football thread :goofp:

Is this the correct place to talk about rugby?

It's really good! I particularly like how it takes four days to play.

Mountaineering also takes days, even weeks. :nicenod:

Five usually, you must be watching some low level cricket if its only four.

It's only sevens, it's not really the same.

Still, when they announced they were going to add two new sports to the Olympics, and then added rugby and golf, I didn't expect New Zealand to be in with a good chance to win 3 out of the 4 new golds.

I didn't do much research, so I didn't know what format they were adding. That's a bummer. :(

Fwiw, rock climbing is being strongly considered for the 2020 Olympics.

I'm just curious to see if the Rio Games turn out to be the disaster some fear it will be.

I don't see a thread for fĂștbol either, not even the Copa AmĂ©rica, and it's the centenario, and occurring in the states this year. :sigh:

Oh well, can't dampen my enthusiasm! :p Next match starts in approximately 20 minutes. :fiesta:
