Do any of you Doomers play or watch any kind of sports? What sports do you like? Do you have any favorite professional athletes?
Or do you not like sports? If not, why?
Do you think the Olympics are presented as a competition for skill rather than a display of superior genetics like it really is?

I have a strong dislike for the idea of countries competing in sports. I don't get why I'm expected to root for teams or sportsmen from my country and I don't see how these wins and loses should mean anything to anyone. If I was a sports fan, I would cheer for athletes that I liked because of their personality or skills, no matter their background. It's meaningless. To me the Olympics and similar events seem like some weird legitimized form of xenophobia. It's like people all over the world really hate each other, but they can't easily go to war and kill all they want anymore, so they settled down for this more peaceful version of that. But the core idea of "OUR COUNTRY IS THE BEST!!! EAT SHIT YOU FUCKERS!!!" is still the same and it's stupid as hell in my opinion.

When I first read what you wrote, I was unaware of the corresponding doomworld events and thought it was an odd statement, to say the least. Stumbling over the DW thread cleared it up for me. Will the imbecile fruit be the first of its kind to be exiled, or will it be allowed to go on with its vile antics like usual? The answer is still pending at the time of writing, and while I'm definitely against banning anyone except spammers and adbots, people have went away for less. Much less. To me the Olympics and similar events seem like some weird legitimized form of xenophobia. You say that like it's a bad thing! Everyone and their grandmother knows that it's great to let some foreigners know their place every now and then! Which is hopefully fourth place or lower! Some friendly or not-so-friendly competition with the best (and sometimes worst, in the case of doped cheaters) athletes mankind has to offer at the moment doesn't hurt.

Sport can be beautiful at times and the drizzling shits at others. Parochialism over teams is something that fell by the wayside for me some time ago, but that’s just helped me to focus on good sport. Regarding the DW thread, does anyone ever actually read what that cunt arctangent posts? Such vapid mastubatory writing that never makes any sense and makes me close my browser anytime I come across them. Fuck that boring nonsensical cunt.

I have a strong dislike for the idea of countries competing in sports. Interesting point of view. I too don't really recognize the necessity of separating competing athletes by country of origin. It's an interesting factoid but it's hardly anything to be excited about. The original olympics of course, started in ancient Greece, and resurfaced in 1896. I wonder if people imagined it as a replacement for war. The Philadelphia Eagles won the NFL Superbowl here on Sunday. I've heard that Philadelphia has the worst fans, and I think what they mean by that is that they're ridiculously reckless and vindictive. No doubt, it was an excellent game and an amazing performance, and we've been dying to win this for a long time, but I don't think I could ever appreciate sports enough to make any sense out of this.

I occasionally have the misfortune of casting eyes on his shit posting and am always astounded at what a gaping wall-to-wall arsehole he is. His persistence on the forum is a sign of it's decline, in my opinion. As for professional sport... I check out the football world cup and European cup every now and then, as it's a good excuse for a beer and my brothers are usually quite into it. I've no interest in any other sport though, as they're just too boring to watch. Hell, half of football is too, hence the beer.

The he may be a she but an ass-backwards-sexual or something to that nature from memory of an argument long forgotten...
The World Cup kicks all kinds of arse, looking forward to this years, go Australia and Brasil! The best sport to me is equivalent to a fine scotch or kush weed. Being in Melbourne we have the pleasure of many great world class sporing events such as the F1 Grand Prix, Australian Open tennis, World Class Cricket, Melbourne Cup for horses, etc.... We are an Olympic City and most of us are sport mad in one way or another, but the greatest sport of them all of course is Australian Rules Football:
This great Victorian game of ours gave birth to one of the all time greatest sporting moments last year after the Grand Final, equivalent to the Superbowl. Jack Riewoldt, a player from the winning team, jumped up on stage with The Killers about an hour after the game still in his kit and belted out Mr Brightside with them:

"Or do you not like sports? If not, why? "
I have very mixed feelings when it comes to sport, there's very few that catch my eye and even fewer I'd ever practice (like I already said a few times before, tennis is the only sport I like and was ever decent at).
I like watching football matches from time to time, I find it the most entertaining sport. I also used to watch rally championships back when a TV channel called Motors/Motors TV was available here, but haven't watched any more since then.
