Boostin' Kev Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 MMA - it's basically just a rabble and nothing that I can't enjoy strolling around the bottom of Leith Walk at kicking out time on a Fri/Sat night. Seems like a midway point between wrestling and boxing for people without the enlightenment to appreciate a sport that demands a high skill level. Wrestling - as a liberally minded person I appreciate the social and cultural diversity that homo eroticism often accompanies, particularly within music and the crossover between the disco and house scenes. Passing it off as a sport is a little far fetched though imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Agree with the OP with regards to wrestling. How can it be a sport if the outcome is decided before the event takes place? Italian football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 3 minutes ago, Bobby Skidmarks said: Formula 1 Shared a flat with a guy that'd set his alarm to get up him early Sat morning for the qualifying race and again for the Sun. He was genuinely baffled that I didn't get off my seat and shout when Lewis Hamilton stole a victory in the last minute of some race. As if I was going to waste my time watching that.

GordonD Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Anything that involves people awarding marks - gymnastics, synchronised swimming, diving. If there isn't an absolutely definitive winner (who crossed the finish line first, who jumped highest, which team scored more goals etc.) then it's not sport.

Hillonearth Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 The pub games - darts/snooker - that were rebranded as sports in the 1980s because they were cheap to televise. Inexplicably, hours of coverage of someone playing the puggy never took off, although it's about as much of a sport as the other two are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Is dressage the one where horses walk about like they need the toilet? Pointless. Any sport where you don't exert yourself physically isn't a sport imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Horse Racing is usually enjoy enough to watch but I find it hard to take it seriously as a traditional sport when it exists solely for the purposes of gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
