Sports are good to participate in, lame to spectate. People who get invested in a sports team are worse than gamers, because at least gamers actually challenge themselves, unlike sports fan who go to stadia and/or bars and cheer real good/get into fights.

And almost every time someone posts one you get someone in here saying we shouldn't share his comics. It's literally the only time any SA goon has ever given a poo poo about the authors original opinion but goons care.

Personally I'd rather see Far Side comics than MMO but since he asked a website nicely with a cease and desist this one time we just don't post them ever

Sailing is only a sport if done competitively, and even then it's a sport in the same way polo is. Pool is not a sport.

Competitive sailing gets pretty hardcore, though. (not just saying that because of a ton of my relatives and both my parents have done it) All the risk of drowning and all while deliberately using obsolete vessels in weather that generally hates your existence.

There's a reason I said "technically" but pool has an opponent, a goal and a modicum of physical ability, how is it not a sport?

This is super dumb and wrong, Obviously there are dumb violent sports fans, but those fuckers are going to be dumb and violent whatever happens and it's nice to cheer for something with your city's name on it and also see peak athleticism trying itss hardest.

If you give a poo poo because some rear end in a top hat is playing ball and is playing for "your" city or "your" school when you're not actually involved significantly in making that team work (like actually playing, actually coaching, I don't know), then you're a loser, sorry.

As a formerly semi-avid poolist, mostly because it's a bar activity. I suppose the argument could be made for those who don't drink while playing pool (or, more honestly, play pool to drink) but those people are weird.

Like, is darts a sport? Because I feel darts takes more dexterity than pool.

Probably? Oh wait, it doesn't involve a ball, so no.

I'm apparently the arbitrator of what is and is not sports.

Go pretend your team on TV hears your cheers, you boring dumbass. I'd have more respect for you if you were excited about some amateur game you were playing on weekends, at least it involves an actual workout of something other than your liver.
