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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta fill the void left by loss of all the other threads? So we don't need sports anymore is what they're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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.

Don't throw that thread away, you might randomly need it in 7.3 years!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Ok- so the threads have now been moved to Off Topic. So there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I should add: For all I know, perhaps there is technical difficulty in maintaining different forums?) 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.

D.B Cooper Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Is there a NEED for sports? Technically not, other than being a great way to exercise. I think it’s pretty ridiculous that we pay athletes as much as we do, yet so many people who do jobs that actually benefit us as a society get paid peanuts. But I like sports. Lol. These days, it’s the only thing I get to watch that’s not Bluey or Emily’s Wonderlab. side note, there is a need for sports forum on this board. the people in charge have gone crazy!

Mustard Tiger Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Yes. It's a damn near no holds barred when it comes to opinions... that becomes more and more rare every day. Sports is a place to vent emotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spur1 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I’m very disappointed that the forums have taken this shall I say “woke” decision. I can kiss 80% of my time on the boards goodbye. I understand that sometimes things are a bother for the mods however I can’t help but feel that they have thrown out the baby with the bath water.
