Warhippy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Sports. It has it's own section. It appears blank now for some reason. A lot of changes coming/going lately that are semi confusing but above my paygrade. So, let's ask the hard question. Sports...do we even need them? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until they move WN into OT... then the whole OT subforum will become the junk drawer of the site (with Sports threads being perhaps the least junky of the drawer).

Coconuts Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Nope, put em down. Humanity has evolved past it's need for sport. We'll all be AI like Vintage soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The politics and religion I get but why shuffle the sports section into the OT thread. I think we should leave the sports section just as it is but that’s just me.

Answering your title question though - my wife thinks I need it (based on my physique), even though she won't let me stray from her sight, and given that she has no interest in the sports that I like...

Anything other than Vancouver Canucks hockey or hockey in general is Off Topic. True. But is it that difficult or confusing to have two off-topic forums - Off-topic General and Off-topic Sports? (I should add: For all I know, perhaps there is technical difficulty in maintaining different forums?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Asked myself this sorta question decades back, feeling contemporary society p!sses away wayyyyyyyyyy too much time on sport. Living in NA it seemed unavoidable. Life is too busy in Asia, for such obsession. Only paying attn to the Canucks suits me well..while also keeping distant tabs on the other NHL squads.
