I just wanted an all purpose sports thread. I will start out with a couple of questions. Is anyone else exited about the World Cup? Does anyone know where the U.S. Open golf tournament will be held?
-
Golf is NOT a sport.
Football (or soccer) is being discussed in this thread:

Would that not include The World Cup?

I don't know much about golf though. Been watching the NBA and NHL finals! NHL is a massacre, but NBA is pretty intense right now
-
Golf is a sport. It's a competitive physical activity. Bowling is also a sport. They are also my two favorite sports because you don't have to touch people or get hurt.
-
Not a golf fan by any means.
GO KINGS GO!!! Will be at the game tomorrow at Staples Center.

I think I can agree with you, exept for one thing. You can get hurt while bowling. Have you seen the movie Kingpin? That guy had his hand chopped off in the ball return. Plus, I think you can drop the ball on your foot, if you are not too careful.

In your defense, I must say that golf involves little activity. Usually just a lot of elderly overweight people that ride golf carts to their destination. No running is involved; however, golf actually has it's own channel and it has been considered for a spot in the summer olympics> I think that qualifies as a sport.
BTW, when is the kings game in the NHL? Is it this weekend? I just want to watch it on tv.

That's interesting. I get to watch the King's game tomorrow and the MLB All-Star game on Sunday. The question is, what will I watch on Saturday?
-
Is anyone watching Baseball??? Go Mike Trout!!!!! Woot

I did not think you would be back on segabits, pcm92. I miss all of your humorous posts. I do have to disagree with you on this one. Golf is not or has never been part of the olympics. There are some people who are not overweight or old that play golf, even though it's not my type of game. It's the most ridiculous game (if you call it that) in the world. It used to be open to only protestants, and now it is only open to people with tacky clothing.
About baseball, I must admit that I am a Braves fan. Sorry JohnOfRage.

That is also a stereotype of golfers. I don't wear tacky clothes. I'm not overweight. I am not really that old. I go to the driving range every week. No. It's not the most ridiculous SPORT, - not game - I think that belongs to curling. I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with that too. You're initial debate was that this thread should have never been made. You just posted something about one of your favorite baseball teams.Let's just get back to the topic of who is liking which sport and which team is better. Ok?

I bed your pardon. Curling is some intense shit.

Curling is an olympic sport. Golf is not. I like curling. I also like this thread. I never said this thread was horrible. I was just suggesting that football was being discussed in another thread and that I was not sure if golf was actually a sport or not. I will agree with you that both hockey and baseball are great sports. I know it was just an opinion. Saying that curling is a ridiculous sport, is not true though. Perhaps you just thought it was rather unusual. It is very similar to a game of shuffleboard. Everyone likes that game, right?
-
I'm fine with golf/bowling being a sport as I then get to count dota 2 as a sport and I love pro-dota2.

If dancing is a sport, then Golf is a fucking sport as well.

I know this. A friend of mine used to be a professional competitive dancer. It was freaking insane. But I still think it was pretty stupid to be considered a "sport"..
Olympic diving is a sport. But sports that are subjective to what the judges think of your performance tick me off.

You are right. There are plenty of games that some consider a sport that are not sports. There is something that I disagree with you about though. If competitions that have judges were not sports, then that cancels out a lot of games as sports. Aerobatics, archery, arm wrestling, badminton, canoeing, cheerleading, cricket, dancing, diving, dodgeball, figure skating, fishing, martial arts, pickleball, pole vaulting, roller derby, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, swimming, water polo, and ultimate frisbee should no longer be sports according to you.
-
Some of the ones you said have objective point scoring systems. I just meant I don't like the idea of someone judging if you win or not.. That's kinda silly
-
Damn, you yanks run pretty fast. Also not cool Beckerman.

I know what you mean. That is why there are multiple judges though. BTW, which ones on the list had point scoring systems?

Who did Italy play in the World Cup? Did Italy win against whoever it was?

Their last match was against Uruguay and they lost 1-0.

Ok. I haven't been keeping up with it too much this year. I know Brazil is playing Chile soon. Brazil's last opponent was Cameroon, right?
-
Yes, Brazil and Chile 1-1 going into shootout. Go Chile!
-
I feel bad for Greece. Costa Rica is normally such an easy team to win against.
-
Since the World Cup is finally going to end in a couple of weeks, perhaps we should talk about other sports to keep the thread alive. How about some tennis? Who else wants to see Novac win against Federer?

For what it's worth, I think most tennis fans (0.001% of people in the U.K. and U.S. that are tennis fans) wanted Federer to win. You should just give up on this thread. No one wants to post anything about sports unless it is the World Cup. Who cares about tennis?

When is the next time skateboarding or bmx will be televised? Another question I have is about basketball. What # will Lebron wear?
-
3raser was right after all. Everyone on the website was only interested in the World Cup.
-
eh.. there's nothing worthwhile going on in the world of sports right now
-
Thank God, the soccer World Cup ended. I live in Brazil, and everyone ONLY talked about it.

I find it difficult to understand why people are offended by certain team names in baseball. What's wrong with the reds or the nickerbackers? Do these team names actually offend anyone? They have had these baseball team names for more than fifty years. In fact, the reds were the first professional baseball team.
Wait... if the reds were the first professional baseball team, then who did they play?

Amateur teams I guess..
People who get offended by minute shit are the worst kind of people.

Conference Finals haven't begun dude. I. Currently watching rangers v capitals, who ever wins faces the lighting in the eastern conference finals.
My Kings didn't make it in, but I still enjoy watching the playoffs.
-
Rangers just won in OT btw. Conference matchups:
Ducks V Blackhawks - West Conf Finals
Rangers V Lightning - East Conf Finals
-
New York's 2-1 overtime win against Washington on Wednesday night was the Rangers' fifth victory in seven home playoffs games this year. They also improved to 7-0 at home in Game 7. I realise the Conference finals have not begun. I just want to know the date because I'm tired of watching the playoffs. I'm ready for the big game. Does anyone know when it will start?
-
Woah, man. This SuperClásico ( Boca Jrs. - River Plate ) in Copa Libertadores 8th finals - end Match is gonna be interesting.

No way to tell, depends on when the WCF and ECF are over. If they both go into game 7's could be till early-mid June.
-
Ok. I'm new to hockey. I just moved to the northeast part of the U.S. and everyone around here was talking about it. Do they play on Wednesdays until it's narrowed down to two teams?
-
Later Rangers...Maybe one day Hank will get a Cup...
We could have a Tampa vs Anaheim Final...weird stuff!
-
Lol, we'll see about that. Never count out the Hawks.
-
11 minutes until the final.
Already stressing out.
-
13 minutes gone, Arsenal still not losing.
-
Ducks are down 3-0 with 15 remaining in the 2nd, hahahah
-
Alright guys Stanley Cup Finals are set to start next Wednesday in Tampa.
I predict Hawks in 6.

Ducks are down 3-0 with 15 remaining in the 2nd, hahahah

Cause we Kings and Ducks fans don't see eye to eye, or something like that.

Wow man, another final in less than a year.
Although I don't like that much how the new coach is handling the things inside, I respect the results and that 6-1 match with Paraguay.
Messi can't do a goal but dear Lord, his control, pass and assistances are gold material.
Obviously, with this winning streak we are #1 in the FIFA Top list (although I despise that ******* position table).
I hope for the best with Chile in the final match. We can do it, my people.
N.B: Chile didn't win any single Copa America in their history, even Bolivia have one. Prepare for the memes xD

I thought you were referring to US women?
