The Worst Things in Sport

Don't have sisters so I wouldn't know about that. I disagree with that though. A tie simply means an equal outcome. It's neither the beginning or the end of the world. It's just a tie.
5 boys, 0 girls here too, as far as a tie I call it as an undesirable outcome. Going for two should be mandatory in the late 4th quarter.

Yes, like I said, occasional ties are not totally objectionable. But if you have any kind of tie....and want OT....still play the game, like the NFL does...or basketball, or baseball, or hockey.
But, correct me if I am wrong....oftentimes in the MSL....do not some teams actually come away with more ties than either wins or losses? That is bad. (but not as bad as using a "shootout" to decide a game.

Ya, but in soccer, isn't it common to kiss one's sister??

What if going for the tie was not allowed in the last 2 minutes of a football game? Going for 2 could result in a tie. Go for the win or go home. Why even play for overtime anyway if you're playing to win. But winning is a concept thing around here anymore.

I enjoy watching the Olympics and all the countries, but you guys are WAY off base on one thing about the coverage. When you say the family/friends would like to see their family compete, but all they have on is USA, Lindsey Vonn, etc. YES, in the UNITED STATES they have them on, but they have the SAME thing for Germany in Germany.
You guys do realize that what you see on your tv (NBC) isn't the same somewhere else. And in A LOT of the events, they did show most competitors, but condensed it in the replays.
Could the coverage have been better, of course. Could they have shown some less, yep. But how dare they show Americans, and their stories in AMERICA.
I wonder how they have that long of a cable line that is also waterproof to get to South Korea? I mean, that is LONG and the USA NBC is the ONLY BROADCAST IN THE WORLD APPARENTLY.
You can't be that naive can you?

Speaking of Olympics coverage by nbc.... I wonder what the world thought about America when Jonny Weir..d was on air during the skating events.

Just screen shot this, how does anyone watch this stuff? In this segment 5 games, 5 teams didn't even score, 3 ties? ZZZZzzzzzooooool.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

They thought what everybody knows: in the world of male figure skating, most to the contestants are gay...be they American or otherwise. If that is just now news to you or to the world, then someone has had their heads up their asses ever since finger Button repeated twice as Olympic champ in like 1948 and 1952. It is no suprise to anyone.
Beyond that: Johnny Weir was an entertaining commentator. He was funny and insightful, and witty, and pretty...and gay.
Compare to Bode Miller who about put me to sleep whenever he talked. What Bode was saying was fine....but he just droned.

So that this thread does not get off track. How about this: The 5 worst things about NFL football:
1. Tanking.....we have discussed this.
2. Commercials, commercials, commercials. likely #1...and yes...they are needed to pay for the game. That don't mean we have to like them.
3. The fact that sometimes the refs have no clues what the rules are.....be it from "what is a catch"...to "What is Pass Interference to "What is an improper hit" to QB protection rules etc.
4. Jerry Jones....and his greed and his need for attention. Yes...he went into the HOF....simply for the reason that his sole concentration for the league has been on money.
5. The mere Existence of the Pittsburgh Steelers!!

6) Ratbirds. Thanks Art and Tagliabue you @#$$%^&. Move those schmucks to the AFC East already.
7) Broncos
Goodell and his love affair with Kraft, Jerry Jones, and Stan Kroenke
9) Moving the Raiders to Las Vegas, and the other stupid relocations under Goodell's watch/tenure

I really don't care about gay or not gay. I also don't think an announcers sexual preference should be advertised.

I do not think that Goodell had all that much say in the moves of teams. That was all dictated to him by Jones and Kroenke..and he had no power to resist it.

So? You want them "in the closet". Again, you must be stuck in 50s. I mean....it is advertised by the way the talk, dress, etc. You want them to change? I think you either need to get over it or deal with it. Or are you a Mike Pence Devotee who believes in "gay conversion therapy"?

I thought Terry, Tara and Johnny did a very good job, good personalities.
And Bode, exciting crazy dangerous on skis......the cure for insomnia behind the microphone.

I have worked with and have known many gay men. And each one says the same thing. There is no such thing as trans Gender. It's a mental illness. And the international Olympics committee nor the US Olympics committee recognize " transgender" because there is no such thing. Just the facts Gip.

I remember the east Germans trying to pass off guys posing as girls in the Olympics. You just can't change your sex...period. You can have cosmetic surgery to change appearance, but that's it. If you really don't like your junk....see a shrink.

WTF are you talking about "Transgender". You DO know that their is a huge difference between homosexuality and transgenderism? We were not talking about Transgenderism. (I bet you go around saying that you have friends that are black).
But, since you went there no, those are NOT the facts. That is just your ignorant troglodyte attitudes and prejudices.
And while the Olympic rules may not allow a transgender to perform (i.e. allow a former male to compete in female sports...though I am not sure that is true)....that does NOT mean that either that it is a mental illness nor that it is a reality. Of course no one is claiming that "Poof....where you used to have testicles you now have ovaries" occurs. Transgenderism is not purely a matter of biology....it is a matter of social identity.
