Americans are good at shitty sorts no one cares about. They're crap at football though and we will show them how to play it proplerly in a few months

soccer is our 5th most popular sport.  i think we hold our own since we don't show much interest in it.

Besides, it can't be good for the brain to keep bouncing balls off of one's head! 

I want to be an Olympic tobogganer in my old aluminum saucer! After I win, I will proudly bring home the aluminum medal for my country!

I think he's adorable! Though no one can take the place of his fellow ginger, Ian McDiarmid.

I can't imagine what posseses some parents that they agree to their children being on a soccer team, knowing they hit the balls with their heads.  

I want to tell them their BRAINS are in there!  How many IQ points do they want them to lose, anyway?

I don't think that there are nearly as many problems with soccer if they don't "head" the ball.

The soccer ball is not really that hard, and you are hitting it with the hardest part of your skull when you perform a header correctly.    I have seen some bloody noses due to bad headers, but no concussions or serious injuries.   That only happens when someone gets kicked in the face haha.

More concussions are to be had if you played American style football, but that is due to people leading with their head while tackling humans (helmet to helmet).   Hockey also has its fair share of concussions.

Oh yeah, hockey is rough! Hence the bumper sticker:

GIVE BLOOD---PLAY HOCKEY

[Al Swearegen]

We rule all other countries, especially Australia and the U.K. 

No but you are beating us in the Winter Olympics.

I think you guys get a just a little bit more snow there than us. Might have a little to do with you getting more medals than us. What are your thoughts?


EDIT: Sorry Skyblue. No wonder this made no sense. Quote wrong dude in my reply

[Phlexor]

we are prolly not much , but the athletes we are sending seem to be doing well. I heard shaun white ( the snowboard guy) drives a maserati, amateur athletics must be a pretty lucrative  business

I don't think Australia really cared about the Winter Olympics until Steven Bradbury pulled a bradbury.

[SleepyDragon]

Bradbury was no mug to be competing at that level. If the result was greater interest [not to mention sponsorship dollars] for athletes toiling unrecognised in their strange disciplines ("moguls"? WTF?), then that's a good thing I reckon.

I think it proved once and for all that luck is definitely a skill.

This reminds me of the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team...talk about competing out of one's element! 

[skyblue1]

LOL ,one of the Jamaicans is running the Iditerod this year. He is losing as he is constantly stopping to smoke a joint.

["couldbecousin"]

I could totally LUGE! I'm fat and I like to lie down! 

Though after the tragedy of this past Olympiad , I would make very sure the track was safe.
