You know, I understand how you may feel this way. However, it's quite natural for people to stick up for a sport they like. Just like football...for example...if people like it, they will stick up for it until the end no matter what people think. That's the beauty of being a fan...a true, old fashioned fan of a sport. I happen to be a large NASCAR fan and I would stick up for it in a second. But I'm far from being a redneck. I live in the Northeast, and I do a lot of things that a lot of people think is stuffy and elite...and not redneck-like. I am nothing like a redneck, but still adore the sport. It's just something I like...just like I enjoy watching water polo....or just like I enjoy playing tennis or fencing. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Don't assume that all NASCAR fans are all rednecks. I'm not, and I know others who also aren't. I know you'll probably just pick a best answer from somebody who writes the opposite of what I'm saying (or should I say, typing!) but try to understand my meaning.

Do you mean playing or watching or both.  I love athletic girls.  I love girls who enjoy watching sports.  I'm into sports and it is refreshing to be able to communicate with someone about them.  Some of my best female friends in college played on various sports teams.  Even though they weren't interested in relationships with males, we still had good times together.  I hope this answers your question.

It's definitely a sport.  They have the America's Cup, which is like the Super Bowl of football.  You race other competative sailors & work hard at it.  \n\nIf you're just doing it for the fun of it, then it's an activity.  But if you are really into it, like you seem, then it's definetly a sport.

You are absolutely right. Many forum participants seem to be into idolizing this or that player, but they forget (or don't know) that real football is, as you said, a team sport.\n\nThe winner of the World Cup will be the team with the best tactics and most homogeneous play -- and, of course, good enough players to make it all work together.

Yes, of course.\nDo we care?\nNOPE.

Fair weather fans--what a concept.  I can certainly understand having more than one team you like, and not everyone can easily develop an attachment to one team.  However, what's the point of shifting your loyalties at the drop of a hat.  Maybe it's indicative of the transient nature of professional athletes today.  Most seem to have no loyalty other than a bigger payday.

Report the coach to the sponsoring organization and encourage other team parents to do likewise.  Have specifics - content, circumstances, tone, dates.  If nothing comes of it, then either you are being excessivly sensitive or its time to find another team.  \n\nBest of luck!

The English are proud, and also Loyal. Do we seem bothered that everyone wants us to lose? No, Do we care who you`ll be supporting? No. I think Its jealousy because your teams didnt even make It, Nothing worse than sore losers!! If we win, then that will be great, If we lose....at least we can say we were there, took part, and done our best. To the peoples whose countires didnt make It, Its like the lottery......You have to be In It to win It. Your not and we are. Come on England!!!

One of my friends is the captain of the varsity bowling team (he recently got high 200s - one spare and all the rest strikes) and my brother is on the team as well. They bowl at the local bowling lanes. Our team is not very good except for the captain. There are girls JV and varsity teams as well. It was very hyped up when my friend got high 200s - announcements urging people to come and support the team. It is very social when you watch games. Not as many people come to watch the bowling team as, for example, our football, basketball, and lacrosse games.

Well I am an Aussie, we lost and I'm still not disappointed. We put up a good effort and performance from my view of things, Don't be disappointed. Support your team no matter how they go. No one is perfect all the time. They are there for their country and to entertain us with their skills and we should enjoy and appreciate them all. But as for that 6 points you are talking of, if they haven't done it so far I don't really think it's all that likely as the competition tightens and becomes harder and much more competitive.

it's not about me, it's about the team and what we can accomplish together.

The tournament is still young. There still might be an upset.\n\nThe strong teams, however, are damn good. So an upset might be hard to acomplish. Be patient my friend. The tournament has just begun....

This question is one that will never be answered correctly or incorrectly.  The one thing that can be said for it is that it is an athletic endeavor.\n\nThere are two major schools of thought on this.  One, there are contests to see which is better so therefore it is a sport.  The other is that since the contests are decided by a third party it is not a sport but a competition.\n\nOne also must look at what types of cheerleading is being done.  Is it merely standing on the sidelines, waving pompoms and saying chants or is it going backflips and pyramids and throws?  Most would be more likely to call the latter a sport while considering the former not a sport.\n\nIn any case, as long as whomever is participating and/or watching is having a good time, then it is all good.\n\nGO TEAM!
