	why isn't there a sports channel that doesn't involved field n track, balls of any kind, namely Archery, Shooting, etc, these sports involve skills, talent,mental ability rather than Physical fitness...........

	No! He will think his mother has been round!

	I do hope the screaming is toned down, Sylvia. I admit to playing a lot of tennis when I was young and I often watched it on telly but not now. I use the 'off' button rather than mute the sound as I am disillusioned with it all.

	Football, cricket, etc. are not sports, they are games.

	OK sport, what's the distinction because you've lost me?
Member Since: January 2009 Posts: 1,381 Send Message	Denburybob	Report	15 Sep 2015 19:48
	I've no idea. I just thought I would throw it in to see the reaction. When my B-in-L's team, Birmingham City loses (which is most of the time) he is like a bear with a sore head. I shout at him, "IT'S ONLY A BLOODY GAME" Personally, I have no interest in competitive "sports".

	seems that the Women's Tennis governing body wants to ban grunting ................. but it won't affect the professionals already playing they've been talking about it for at least 5 years :-( will it ever happen?

	If it ever happens, Sylvia, I'll start watching tennis again. It was one of the few sports I always enjoyed playing which I did almost every summer's day between the ages of 11 and 16. Can't wait for the grunting to be over and I can settle down to watch again.

	Of course, should OH's mother come round here, there would likely be some sport worth watching, bareknuckle fighting, jousting, kick boxing.

	That's fair game, Sharron.

	When I said I had no interest in sport, I was not including beach volleyball.

	Oh no! It has only happened again!
