How is car racing a sport then?

[changling21]

Me too. Still not sure about this so called curling sport.

[MrRatchakay]

americans just don't know how to use 'eh'

[STFUStudio]

All Sports Suck, why do you think I live my life on the Computer and Ps3?

Have to say that first time i saw curling on TV, i thought that "what the fuck is this?! this is even boring than tennis or golf!" But after i got hang of it, its pretty tactical and technical "sport", now i enjoy watching it :) btw tennis and golf is still boring as hell ;D

[SM110989]

curling is about as much football or baseball. yea hours of watching nothing happen

[JxKx4x7]

@SM110989- American Football?

[SM110989]

@JxKx4x7 yes american football, not raditional football played with the feet or foot, but the basterdisation of rugby when mcmasterU students played HarvardU and got raped in the assbecause they sucked at it, so they came up with football or as the rest of the world, meaning not north america, call it american football to differentiate the two different sports

It seems incredibly simple but then you watch it and it's still kind of like, what!?

[worldli]

Agreed!

[mxpxdudeski]

how is curling so confusing? I don't understand what's so hard to get, if you would watch the damn thing for more than 3 minutes i'm sure you'd get it, instead of making a bunch of asses of yourselves. Typical USA make fun of something you don't even understand, just because you end up in last place in the sport doesn't make it any less of a game. P.s. Canada is on top of the Hockey world, up yours USA

Hmmmm.......I think it was more interesting to ask rando Canadians about curling than it was to watch the event itself! I actually have a newfound respect for the girly-ness of it all...and I am not exactly the most masculine dude!

[Orasea]

Now I understand! Great interviews.

[worldli]

Still not sure I do...

[diiebane]

Actually I think Curling is pretty sweet, has a lot of tactics to it. Kind of like Botcha, if you know what I mean

Bocce ball? It is definitely one of my favorite pasttimes...so this is mostly tongue-in-cheek...

[worldli]

I was watching SNL last night and they had several parodies of curling - it appears I am not the only one who is confused

[Moviebro]

Honestly, I only watched curling for the hot women. Team Canada and Russia were the hottest.

[stabwoundtube]

interesting - definitely missing that perspective!

[stabwoundtube]

It's all so clear to me now. That family was adorable. I still think it's a sport for mothers though.
