Totally. Sports are gay. I mean I watch the superbowl for the commercials and that's it. I actually discussed this with my English teacher last semester. Guy was real into sports, and liked debate. So I brought it up. I asked him why it was necessary for dudes at sports bars to actually stand up and scream, and pump their fists as if they were the ones who's accomplished the feat of strength and skill they'd just witnessed.

I then stated that the only way i'd care about a sport, is if I was playing in it myself, because then it would be fun. Otherwise, whats there to be interested in?

He couldn't come up with anything. He tried to say that perhaps it was a carry over from the tribal nature of humans, but I shot that down as conjecture.

TL;DR, this is just bullshit. :2thumbsup:

Boooooo Rage :thumbdn: Sports are awesome :headbang2: :headbang2: :headbang2:
Im watching Wimbledon at the moment. Go on Andy Murray and Sabine Lisicki :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup:

And playing sports is great fun. I'm the goalie in a 5-a-side team, and we usually play twice a week. It is probably the most fun thing that I do :laugh:

Explain how that's fun even though you're not playing? If its not ME playing the game, why should I be exited?

It is exciting if you care about a player, or a team. I've watched Andy Murray play tennis since he was a 17 year old boy. That's my whole adult life.
To see him win the tournament that in Britain, we see as the biggest in the world, would be exciting. I've grown to kinda care a little bit about him. I would imagine that this is a huge ambition for him.
If I heard that you were close to achieving something that would fulfill your lifes ambition, I would be dead excited for you, and Id be really sad for you if you failed.

It's the same with the football team I support. My uncle has always owned shares in the team, and when I was a kid, he had a seat on the board. I loved going to the football with him, and I would meet the players and they would be nice. I still have a lot of affection for the club, so when the team does well, I feel really happy for them, and when they do badly, I feel sad.


Sorry, that was a rather long, rambling reply :laugh:

tbh the only sport I really like is football.

I can watch basketball or hockey or something. team sports (although not baseball or cricket etc), but I'm not really a fan.

Tennis is ok. I haven't watched any of this wimbledon though. I will watch the men's final though, and possibly the women's final.

Sabine Lisicki seems like a really sweet person, and is a little bit of a crush :laugh: And, anybody who beats that abomination, Serena Williams, is alright by me :green:

Its Radwanska, although I do like Radwanker. From this day on, I now know her as Agnesa Radwanker :laugh:

Sabine Lisicki is attractive enough, but not amazing looking. She just comes across as a really nice person.
Yes, I am kinda much more attracted to personality than looks :headbang2:

That feel when I realize i'm just aloof or something.

Australia is the best country, hands down.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
