    Man whats with the hatred for women sports? I mean I don't watch most women sports except during the Olympics but to knock them all down like that is dumb. You are a bad look to all men and this isn't the first time you have criticized women. Just leads me to believe that ........

    I still don't understand why some feel golf isn't a sport.

    Walking 17 miles in 4 days while having to swing/hit ~300 shots with the utmost muscle coordination, sometimes in 100 degree/humid weather takes tremendous stamina and a bit of athletic ability.

    My girl and I got into a little debate about this. I was telling her about how I think baseball sorts sucks based on the fact the players sit as much as they actually play as well as the fact that you can be an elite baseball player with couch potato-level conditioning. Of course, she disagreed (because women always love baseball because it's slow and easy to understand).

    Somehow we got off track and she mentioned that golf was definitely not a sport. I disagree. What is the difference between golf and baseball? Both require little conditioning and a high degree of hand-eye coordination.

    The same could be said for being a roofer. Carrying heavy pallets up ladders, swinging hammers, etc., sometimes in 100+ degree weather (that is even hotter on the roof). Requires strength, stamina, good balance, and hand-eye coorindation. If two roofers make a competition out of their roofing, does it become a sport?

    It's funny how hard it is to agree on a definition of a sport. For me to consider something a sport, the competition must be head-to-head, with offense and defense. So, golf, bowling, cycling, running, etc are all disqualified because you don't play defense. Baseball has defense, and it passes the minimum requirement for physical activity, so it is a sport.

    Women's sports sucks. I don't watch it.

    If you think that makes me gay, I don't know what to tell you.

    Hockey. Anything that uses a "puck", is not a sport.
