Survey Thursday January 22
-
I will add a sport..
NCAA womens diving....10
Did you have someone involved?
(my daughter did swimming in HS....and she would yell at me for not putting "cheerleading" on the list, as she participated in competitive cheering for some years from like 6th to 12th grade, and she was a cheerleader for 4 years at college)
I could have added a lot more sports if I had listed each Olympic sport separately: Swimming/diving/ Track and Field, archery, skiing, curling, Bobsled, etc. etc.

Women’s fastpitch softball is fun. Similar to baseball but has its own nuances. Everything is closer together, base paths, and rubber to mound, so the action is fast. Also, there are more types of pitches in softball than in baseball, like rise balls and drop curves to go with fastballs and change ups and such.

One of the greatest pitcher - hitter duels I ever saw was between UT-Austin's 6'2" lefty and all-time great Cat Osterman and Megan Gibson one of A&M's greatest ever pitcher/hitters. Cat had two strikes on her and Megan, being the pitcher that she was, knew that Cat's best strikeout pitch would appear to be a fastball that was coming right down the middle, but would tail into an inside curve dipping out of the strike zone about 6 inches off the ground near the ankles. As the pitch came in Megan shifted her left foot towards 3rd base and golfed the ball on a line drive over the right field fence for a 3 run homer. As soon as Cat saw where it was going she looked back at her catcher and Megan tossing her bat away and mouthed the word, "Wow!" No one had ever done that to her strikeout pitch before that night.

When I was growing up, my next door neighbor, who later became Chief of Police in Barberton, was a fastpitch softball pitcher. He could hurl a softball, underhand, at close to 90 MPH. He was later killed in a motorcycle accident. This was in the 80s. Here he was, a Chief of Police, and he was not wearing a helmet riding his motorbike.
He had this unusual deal that when he pitched the ball, underhand remember, he would slap the side of his leg with the hand that held the ball in. Not sure why that was done, but he still threw the thing fast as hell.

Yeah, it wouldn't affect me, but if you broke it down into sub categories, the wife is very interested in swimming (former competitive swimmer) and figure skating.
E-sports? How in the world can you call that a sport? Misnomer, may as well call World Championship Poker, or chess a "sport". To my mind a sport has to involve a certain minimal amount of physical activity, and playing on a computer doesn't rate. Call it an E-GAME and I'm good with it.
Adding on to mjp's list not to be sexist, but there's women's lacrosse and ice hockey.
I did forget one sport of mine that I watch once a year - professional men's cycling. I'll watch hours of the Tour de France every year. If you ride a lot, it's mind boggling how good those guys are. Average schmucks couldn't keep up with them for 5 minutes. Even on the last day of the Tour in the first hour of the ride when they're just screwing around drinking champagne, you'd have to be at least a Class A rider (average 18 mph+ over 100 miles) to be able to keep up.

I think that is fair....to call it a game, not a sport. I put it on here because it was a category in wiki, plus I knew that Akron U had a top program going there.
If physical activity though were all that a sport required, then ballroom or ballet dancing would be considered sports, as those take a ton of physical output.

Yea, admittedly I left off a lot of women's sports. Ergo the "what did I miss" question.

I basically included the cycling in with Olympics sports, as who really gives a rat's ass about it other than at the Olympics, and some peak in to the Tour de France. I guess there is also a big Tour of California in this country.

I knew it was a men’s sport back in the day. 90 mph seems high. Like world record high. The best of the best of the girls tops out at around 70.
The leg slap is likely a mechanism to find the release point for the pitch.

He was not a girl but a grown man. But 90 is likely high....but he was very fast.
And thanks for the tip on the leg slap.
