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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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?

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?

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
