Bowling vs Soccer

[WSUbballer]

Can the same stereotype be given that all Creighton posters on here think soccer is cool because they played the footyball back in their hayday?

By the way, I could care less about bowling or soccer. Bowling probably isn't considered a sport. Soccer is a sport, but that doesn't necessarily make it better or more fun. Curling is also a sport and I'd much rather watch that than soccer.

Baller,

I wasn't referring to you in that earlier post. Note that I used the modifier "certain" before "WSU fans". You aren't in that particular group - no need to get defensive.

Like fishing, bowling is not a sport.

But is fishing more popular than soccer?

I could care less about soccer (and bowling). Just not understanding the debate about bowling and why people are so defensive about it being a sport.

Actually the argument was about the popularity of soccer relative to other activities. The moderator decided to attempt to divert the argument to a discussion of what constitutes a sport because we all know that most Americans would choose waterboarding over soccer.

Call me crazy but I love to watch Soccer, womens or mens it's a fun watch. As a former athlete (not soccer), it is fun to see how my sport's strategic thoughts are very similar to soccer.

hot dog eating

Now that is a real sport.

If you can down 50+ dogs in what is it? 15 mins?? Then I think you can be considered an athlete.

This morning on the national radio broadcast that we get here locally they were discussing this. In their poll, bowling ranked next to last just above competitive hot dog eating and well below golf and auto racing in terms of athletic ability needed.

Which says alot, especially if we're talking about the golf where you don't carry your own bag and you have a beer between your knees when you putt haha...I'll consider professional golf athletic though

How did I miss this thread???

I need more deadlines looming so I can stay up all night pretending to work while perusing this and other intellectually stimulating forums.

For anyone who watched todays game, please fill me in on how bowling can even hold a candle to soccer. No hot women, no athletic skill, no fun...yeah bowling sure is great
