"Sports" are competitive games/events to me but should involve some form of "movement" as well as skill. Which is why I feel golf is a sport/athletic event but poker really is not. Poker involves stamina and endurance but no real physical exertion. Golf - you're swinging/moving, walking long distances. That's my two cents. And off topic in Covid is sometimes not a bad thing? Momentary reprieves from the arguing and going around in circles. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps shooting a puck into the back of the net isn't athleticism either? It's kind of the same idea if you think about it. Just because they walk instead of run doesn't mean it doesn't involve some sort of hand-eye coordination (which absolutely falls into the definition you gave). Chess also involves hand-eye coordination... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, there's a reason why the term "e-sports" exists. That being said, I can see where there has to be a line drawn. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always felt that since curling is in the winter Olympics, bowling should be a summer Olympic event. I would totally try out for that team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I really think people who think being an athlete is about just doing things like running really don't do these other activities. It's about the same mentality as people who think animals don't have personalities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the way team Canada was treated by Vancouver fans could have given the team the motivation they needed. You sleep through the 2010 olympics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see governments, cdc, who, etc ramming this through as quickly as possible. The process is there to ensure safety and save lives. They might want to ram it through but the CDC and WHO are scientific organizations and won't cut corners just to make politicians happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 2010 I GM'd a nightclub on Granville. We also opened in the day times to air all the team Canada hockey games. Packed in 500+ patrons per game and helped give them the party of their lives. We were a part of what made Van soo great during that event. You're welcome Canada. One of the best experiences I've ever been part of..

Once the ship has hit the iceberg. The lifeboats are the only real chance. But economists go on about getting back to business and work. There is an element of survival yes. We all want to survive. But you can throw all the money you want at the crewmen putting people in the lifeboats. Unless that's helping thier families, offering money is useless. What's all your money going to do when you are in the Atlantic in near freezing water? Maybe this is a warning to the world. We've seen how fast once pollution stops how nature repairs itself. Maybe Mother Nature is giving us a last warning. To get our crap together and try making the world a better place for all. Not just the pursuit of wealth and power. I'll buy that, but many of those with wealth and in power won't easily give it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to be mobile, killings spread out. He had a fake cruiser and RCMP Uni? Wish they hadn't killed him, I would like these types kept alive to endure suffering and pain for the rest of their incarcerated miserable life. Death is the easy way out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
