buffalo_bill Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Thank you for the update, the 3 Video-people are included in the most wanted list. Neither do I enjoy womens rugby to forget about boxing. Although in the distant past I seem to have been watching womens striptease with some joy I believe.

Coss Posted August 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 In the Antipodes, I and many like me, whilst availing myself of the viewing titillation, of various ladies sports, have still a great wonder. Do team ball games like Soccer and Rugby belong in the Common Wealth games? Also in the Olympics, children's pursuits like Skateboarding, Breaking (breakdancing) and an old favourite, Artistic (synchronised) Swimming. The rational answer is of course, that these conglomerations of sporting competition, should reflect the populace from which they are drawn. That's why we have to have Shooting. Quite right. _______ The stand out, sore thumb of a sport, that is missing, is of course, the wildly popular, Grumpy Old Bastard. Though I would suggest, that there is some organisation to be done in the form of clubs and leagues and eventually National representation, in this sport. I know I would be a contender, perhaps others on this board would like to compete? We'd need a judge or two, or perhaps we could have a Blind Peer poll, in which all contestants get to vote, on the other's offerings, with the one least liked, being the winner. A certain amount of integrity, which we all have, would be applied to the voting process, to ensure that likes/dislikes were genuine. Wot yer reckon? -A: Stupid Idea -B: F**k off -C: You Moron -D: Only with knives -E: quarter past Seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 E Your argument would be valid if Football (Soccer) and Rugby were included in the Commonwealth games. Football (Soccer) Isn’t and Rugby on Rugby 7’s Brum 2022 Sports Being an Antipodean I thought for more telling question from you is why do we still have the Commonwealth Games at all After all the Commonwealth of Nations is such a dated idea, not much of a claim to fame for a Country to have escaped from the Empire, still have the Queen as Head of State, her image still on some some coins, banknotes and stamps, and the Union Flag as part of the Nations Flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 I stand corrected, only Ruby sevens then, still a ball game though. As to being part of the commonwealth, I'd be happy not to be, unless I could get a job like Charles where furriners give me millions of pounds.

So by your reckoning then Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Cricket T20, Hockey, Lawn Bowls, Netball, Squash and Table Tennis should also be banned for being ball games. 40% of the Commonwealth Games is “Ball Sports” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 My point yes, thank you for making it. Though I mean team ball sports and team specifically. Back in the day the concept of "Games" like the Olympics was about individual excellence and achievement. i.e., biggest weight lifted, javelin furtherest thrown, fastest runner over a distance, etc But now society values individual performance less and even the education systems have changed, so that everyone gets a prize for participation, well done for turning up! Imagine Team chess! So rewarding the participants of team sports ,rather than than individuals, is more of the same. I watched a team win on the the TV, do I get a medal too? Exemptions must be made for Women's beach volley ball and their cheerleading shows, particularly those from the Beijing Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 One of our boxing team lost in first round, bad cut to the eye, was a bit of a bummer, Billy was doing well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your argument is individual swimming events are OK but relay races are not, the same goes for athletics, or in track cycling team pursuit events are not real events because it is a team, or even doubles at badminton.

Coss Posted September 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 As ambivalent as I am to the the Royals, I do have a genuine regard and understanding that: Elizabeth II, left this world a better place than she found it. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
