Correct. It's a bit sad really. Stating that running 10 miles is not a sport is so utterly stupid that the only logical conclusion to draw is that he's one of these ME ME ME monkeys who simply HAS to say something outlandish in order to satisfy some bizarre requirement to get noticed.The Complete Badger is trying a little too hard to stir up a row on this thread.
I'd love to understand the skill behind dressage. Like shooting or sailing, it's obviously a real niche in terms of watchability. However, whereas I can easily understand the concentration and skill required for those two sports, I simply don't get it in dressage.I've worked at high-level sporting events for the last 15 years, and EVERY one of them, is thrilling and a privelage to experience, when carried out at the highest level.
Except dressage.
I'm not taking issue with your opinion that the Olympics is WANK. As you say, everyone is entitled to an opinon. Actually, I'm taking issue with your CRETINOUS synopsis that running isn't a sport, when it blatently is.You idiot. Just because I think the Olympics, and all the joke events like HANDBALL and TABLE TENNIS, is a pile of turd doesn't mean I'm saying "something outlandish" to "get noticed." We're allowed different opinions you know, and mine is it's WANK.
Handball looks like a quality game and there was noise regarding Britain assembling a crack team. Sadly I think it's fallen foul of credit crunch cutbacks.I'm think I'm going to target the handball. Should be able to get tickets to the Semi Final or Final relatively easily, and it looks well exciting.
What are you talking about? I actually went to the Paralympics in Sydney!Just don't expect Simster to support the Paralympics - we all know he is a dysmorphophobe.
Some sports simply aren't good spectator sports, but that's not what you're saying. You're saying running isn't a sport, which to me sounds like attention seeking drivel.It's not though. Running is just a basic skill everyone has. From the age of two or three EVERYONE can run. Why would you want to watch someone do this? If I got a group of people together for a massive WALK, you wouldn't say it was sporting competition, so why should running be any different?

why is everyone kidding themselves that they actually want to watch this shit just because it's in a nice big over-expensive stadium in London instead of Preston Park?
Let's face it, every single event in the olympics isn't given a second's thought by any of us APART from once every four year,
