Rant on Basketball
Wayshow:
I really suck at basketball.
I tried to improve multiple times, but failed.
I just don't have the basketball gene in me...... :(
That's the problem.
Since when was basketball the sole deciding factor on one's reputation?
Since when was basketball the only "manly" sport? (Fine, not only, I guess I should include football and soccer)
SINCE WHEN DID EVERY OTHER SPORT BECOME GIRLY?
I really hate sports that require me to have a lot of physical contact with another person.
I hate sports that require me to wrestle something away from someone.
But apparently, stripping off your shirts and crashing into other people is manly.
In my school, every sport that isn't basketball is "girly".
The only organised sports team we have is basketball.
The field, the volleyball courts, the table tennis room, the tennis courts... etc. are always empty. The school spends pretty much every ounce of its sports fund on basketball, while the other courts are left dilapidated.
Is this just my school, or is every other school like that?
Death_Outlaw:
At my school we do every other sport other than basketball.
The school tried to set up a team for it but it failed.
Football all the way
Seb:
In nearly everyone continent aPart from north America, soccer is the "one" sport, that's why it's the biggest in the world, when I went to school you knew how to play other sports, but whenever there was a choice of what to play it was always soccer. That's why a soccer team ( Manchester united) is the biggest sporting business in the world, bigger than every NFL and basketball team.
Colinwarrior:
Ummm..no. Nobody cares about basketball. I think it was the least popular sport in my school. Even the chess club was more popular.
Keith:
I love basketball, but that's just me. I'm not even that good at it, I'm more of a runner and hackysack player.
