There I was in Canada drinking Corona.. lol
"...and a country that considers monster trucks and pro-wrestling as sports. "
What about a little Scottish introspection..
Big hairy men in skirts throwing telegraph poles around, and wee lassies jumping up and down on sharp pointy swords?
American football isn't soccer with violence, its rugby with padding and lots of spare players. Aussie rules football is more like soccer with punches.

Yep. It took me a while to realize that bowling is more an excellent excuse to get together and drink beer than a sport of endurance, skill and conditioning. But hey - we consider NASCAR racing a sport, and some of those guys are far from the traditional image of an athelete.

QuoteAs long as bridge doesnt get in on the olympics.....
How true, sadly enough it was a demonstration sport in the last winter olympics......
maybe that's the problem.. we need to more clearly define 'sports'. i think that if there is no risk of death or serious injury, it's not a sport, it's a game, a hobby, or a pastime.

>sport, it's a game, a hobby, or a pastime.
So cocaine users have themselves a sport, but long distance runners and football players just have a hobby . . . hmm, I can see that, but watching drug users on monday nights just sit around on TV would be pretty boring. Unless you have some pretty good commentary - "ooh - look there, Jim! Cheech's head just drooped, and he's drooling again! That's gotta come hard after last week's defeat to the new methamphetamine user from Cincinnati."
okay, so the definition needs work
