how is curling a sport?

[kermalou]

an olympic sport at that? i just got through watching the WOlrd Championships on tv and it baffled me how that is a sport.

 

[gopunk]

why shouldn't it be?

 

[rudeguy]

ask LordJezo...he is/was on the curling team

 

[mpitts]

Bowling is a sport too.

 

[KingNothing]

What about racquetball?

 

[geno]

Just because people aren't thrilled with it doesn't mean it's not a sport Sure, it's not exciting, but neither is golf


<--- not an advocate of curling.

Define sport.

Is it the ability to compete in a highly competitive game? If so, curling is a sport.

If by sport you mean, any game where you use balls, and strictly balls to play, then its not a sport, but then again, neither is running or rowing or boxing, etc.

Before you ask how something is a sport, why don't you ask why your games are.

It's like when straight people ask homofags, "Well don't you think you're gay because you haven't slept with a good woman yet?" and they don't realize that the question is ridiculous, because if turned around, they look like total weirdo..."Well don't you think you're straight because you haven't slept with a good homofag yet?"

Keep an open mnd dude.

[konichiwa]

How is bowling anymore of a sport than curling?

Golf is the toughest activity to say whether or not its a sport.

 

[pillage2001]

Chess is CONSIDERED a sport, why not curling??

Hurling is crazy dude :Q

Hitting each other with wooden sticks......... but I guess the same can be said about lacrosse but they use equipment at least

I think I've played tabletop curling before with beer bottlecaps. Oh well, whoever got it closer to the marchino cherry wins, at least in the drunken state.

Its a sport, you need a team and it requires skill.

The Irish are not generally renowned for their cutting edge brilliance.

More of a sport to many people than baseball for instance.

True. America's so called "National Pastime" is incredibly boring to watch. I'd rather watch golf. At least then you don't have people scratching their crothes, and the crowds at golf tournaments USUALLY aren't drunk off their ass.

<lewis black> if curling is an olympic sport, then oral sex is adultery. and oral sex should be an olympic sport... why? because its harder than curling, and if you're any good at it, you deserve a medal! </lewis black>

 

[Amorphus]

how is curling a sport? it's shuffleboard on ice, and you're allowed to cheat by moving the obstructions in an inefficient manner...

 

[kermalou]

i just dont think that it deserves all this attention. i think that it was spun out of a bored housewife while mopping and she decided to get a group of her friends together to see who could mop the best.....
