[Other Sport] Which sport would you wipe from the face of the Earth?

[sussex_guy2k2]

Maintaining a grass lawn isn't keeping the greenery, grass cut every few days to a short sward is providing next to zero ecological benefits. It might as well be tarmac. In comparison to other sports, golf disproportionately uses resources over massive areas just for 5 people to knock a ball around on a Saturday morning.

If you're going to say well what about F1, that would be next on the list.

I’ve said “well what about all of the other sports mentioned?” and I stand by that.

Ultimately most golf courses have trees. That alone makes them more environmentally friendly than most sports.

It’s no different to having a well kept football, cricket or rugby pitch, except that’s there’s some balance being offered.

The other big problem with the “golf is not environmentally friendly” argument, is that it assumes the alternative is that the land would be used for big areas of natural beauty. I know this is hard for many to fathom, but most golf courses are privately owned by people who want to make money off of them, so when the alternative is housing, business blocks etc, then yes, a golf course is much more environmentally friendly.

It would take generations, there's just too much of it about.

Agree there about Wimbledon for similar reasons to the summer olympics. Everyone becomes a tennis expert for two weeks only to forget about it for the other 50 weeks of the year.

Spot on.
I usually ask a Wimbledon tennis expert if they watch any other tournaments, not that I have any interest in tennis or Wimbledon but these experts are an easy target when they start banging on about it
