If there's anything in the marching arts than could be considered a sport that's DCI.

Yo you told me that the other day, what is DCI

That's a video on the athletic conditioning of DCI performers.


DCI = Drum Corps International

Soccer is rough. I feel people watch and follow it just to be different. I cannot believe some of the conversations I overheard regarding the sport. People really get heated about their Champions League team.

I'm not sure why you quoted my post about golf before stating this. Are you saying that playing darts requires more mental and physical precision than golf? Golf requires an exactly precise and unnatural entire body motion that incorporates every part of your body from your feet to your head through out the entire swing motion. If one part of your body ( feet, knees, hips, arms, etc) is out of sync by the slightest margin then you will have a mishit. Also, you have to maintain this precision while walking an 18 hole golf course, which may not be the most athletic or physically demanding task, but it definitely introduces fatigue into the equation. I've played darts plenty and that is not even comparable.

If the rest of the world does not recognize baseball as an Olympic sport, then I can despise soccer & hockey, and not feel bad about it!

Let's make American Football an Olympic sport, and watch while we beat the living crap out of the rest of the world!!! Now THAT would be fun!!!

Our hockey team did win silver in the past olympics.

WNBA just really ticks me off.
Soccer
And when I as a grown man cannot play competitively against young kids.

Ive played golf, To be "good" at darts you have to be able to focus out bar noise, throw into a tiny space, know how to do math on the spot. you have to be able to have the same motion butbe able to adjust your power to hit numbers such as trip 19 (lower end of the board) and trip 20 (top of the board). Darts isn't easy, you don't have to be physically fit i get that, walking 18 holes in the heat isn't that easy but as far as just a mental game Darts is as mental as it gets

I am not argueing that Golf isn't a hard sport so don't get upset, Golf is a very difficult sport and more difficult than darts, but i would say Darts i a more mental game, I would say Cross Country is as much a mental game as golf

Play in front of 50,000 people and try that again... I've heard it said that the only thing more intimidating than playing in front of 80,000 screaming fans is playing in front of 30,000 silent fans with all of their eyes staring at you.

Sorry, our opinion just differs; I'm not upset, just disagree.

Cant get into Nascar. I respect it, I just cant watch a race for several hours. It doesnt hold my attention. Bowling on TV is equally as boring. We get it bud, you are really good at knocking down the pins...

I promise anyone who professes hate for NASCAR they need to spend a weekend in the infield and let me know how they feel afterwards...
If they can remember anything from it, I'll be surprised.

And before anyone tells me "you just don't understand it" or some elitist argument- think for a while about the similarities between these two sports and how they differ from every other sport.

You mean they are both fast, continuous sports that foster creativity, don't take sissy timeouts and have to be played as a team?

It makes it much better if you have a driver, or a team to pull for, that you really like!

I grew up in Spartanburg, in a time where David Pearson just flat wore them out! Saw him when I was pre-school....... in Darlington!

Then I saw Bill Elliott win the Winston Million in Darlington....... yjen I was hooked! Followed Elliott till he retired, then took up Kasey Kahne......

Add that is Stock Car racing, its almost as fun to rot against some, than root for your favorite!

Go to Charlotte for a Cup Race, and you may be hooked!
