Sports I Cannot Understand - Page 3

I would have would have to say that I love car racing, any car racing. The sheer adrenaline of it gets me pumped. I also love rugby. It's an exhilarating sport, to watch and participate in. I don't care how rough it is, the sport goes along very well with my personality.

Now a sport I don't understand is ping-pong. And curling, I can understand to a degree. Ping pong though.... yeah, it develops hand-eye coordination and quick reflexes. But it's rather pointless.

I don't care if a sport, like boxing is so aggressive. That's why they were created, to get physical aggression out. It's organized and made in such a way that things don't get out of control. Aggressive sports are a way for a lot of hot tempered people to get their energy out. Without them we could possibly have a lot more problems in the streets. That's one of my views on it, but then again, I'm a very aggressive person myself.

Like I'm taking up Judo, my teacher, who I also go to school with, is the gold medalist for Canada for his age. He broke a guys arm in the Nationals, cracked two of his ribs or something like that and did something else that I can't recall. For what? For proving their strength and ability. It's showing that they can focus and put all effort into doing something for their life. It's dedication and all humans, when striving for a goal no matter how pointless, thrills the body when you achieve your goals.

Understand I Sports

I find it really hard to imagine any sport that is hard to understand. I was bored by the likes of cricket and rugby as a child, I didn't know how technically challenging these sports can be. I find the stranger the sport, the more interesting it can be.
I find the stop start nature of american sport very frustrating, but my favourite sport that I can't work out would have to be Hurling. This is the Irish equivalent of field hockey but the opposition can be hit with the stick too.... Basically a brawl with a score for fun...

Having watched the Winter Olympics I cannot understand how Ice Dancing is a sport.
Also how slow is curling !

You lot really do not understand what the whole point of this topic is suppose to mean.

If any of you have ever played games like lacrosse, curling, hurling or croquet, then you'll be harping a different tune.

On a more serious tone, I find sports rather easy to grasp, with football - the real one - being my favourite. Its the games that were created by aristocratic people in the past, or by punitive minorities that usually jump up the list as being the more unusual ones that take forever to make head or tail of.

It's called racquetball. It's a great sport that's easy to learn and lots of fun to play. It's also a wonderful way to exercise.

I agree with that it's hard to understand the concept behind boxing. A lot of violence for a lot of money, is all I see.

Racquetball is just a spin off of squash right? There are some sports that make you wonder why such an activity was ever created. I would suggest synchronised swimming is not a sport. Curling is also an odd one too.

And when you think about it, what on earth is skeletal, other than a death wish? I remember watching them at the recent Winter Olympics and they looked like seals on speed.

It makes sense that racquetball is a spinoff of squash, because they are very similar games, and squash has been around longer. I've never played squash, but I understand the difference in the racquet and ball make the game a lot less bouncy than racquetball. This requires the player to have a lot of stamina and think more about his shot selection. Racquetball is based more on power.

I agree there are some sports that look too dangerous to be worth the risk. I guess that must be part of the rush for the players. Or maybe the love of the sport makes it worth the risk. Just today, I received a bruise 8 inches long on my upper leg from a ball, during a match. Ouch! But do I quit? No, because it's too much fun. This may be the reason, however, there are so few women racquetball players.
