There are only three real sports: bull fighting, mountain
climbing, and auto racing. All the others are merely
games.

well, lacrosse and rugby are also missing. and probably lots
more. but "Throwing Heavy Objects for Distance" is there. I
don't think this is anything to be getting upset about. it's
just a dumb article.

You guys, read the description at the start of the article! It's not
saying that we're not a sport, it's just saying that we're a "fake
bullshit sport."

A US Olympian (800 meter) signed up for our summer league
the last two years.
He was undefeated in indoor & outdoor 800 meter in college.

If ultimate is sporty enough for him, it's sporty enough for
me.

Either way, this is a bs thread of course.
