they wouldn't be professional curlers then. They'll be professional "straighteners"

Calendar ? They should play that way... then it would really get popular. Not even trying to be funny...

Curling's one of those sports that might be interesting to play, but that I have no interest in watching.

Curling is boring if the competition is bad. You need to watch the Canadian men's championship for the Briar to see the best curling. Even the Olympic competition pales in comparison.

If they are hot, they should start wearing those skimpy outfits in ice skating or tennis during curling.

Curling is like a train wreck, it's so boring I can't help but watch it. I love the look on determination on the pusher's (?) face as he slowly slides and pushes the iceball, and the 2-3 frenzied sweeper whose furious work does absolutely nothing.

Sounds like you know nothing about science and how the physical world works.

Go watch your Nascar... on second thought, do you even know why the track is designed the way it is?

DON'T ANSWER THAT, I KNOW THE ANSWER

Why would I watch nascar? And of course I understand banked turns. Curling still sucks the root though. Maybe that's why you like it ;)

Actually I find curling entertaining. But I don't really see the competitors as athletes or even having any athletic ability.
