re .1 I'm not interested in SPORTS. The people who read this
conference are, might we say, a different breed from sports. More
international, more individualistic. So I thought it would be
interesting for us to see the worldwide prospective.
re .2 Yea, its ok. But tell us, why watch? :-)
Any of our soon_to_be_former_America_Cup_holders want to explain
Australian football. I've never heard of it 'till now.

Not much of a sports watcher, but:
1) Football
2) Hockey
3) Basketball
4) Racquetball
5) Swimming (the only one I'm good at)
Note that this is in terms of participation, or watching teams of
professionals. Quite frequently, football and hockey degenerate
into televised circuses.

Interesting. So far, softball/baseball, football, and volleyball
are the top sports. You hardly see volleyball mentioned in daily
sport pages and only at some wierd hour of the morning on ESPN!
Well, rounding out the top is swimming, skiing (winter and summer),
canoeing and cricket. Now, how often do we see canoeing and cricket
on the tube?
What we need is a *real* international sport. Too bad we can't
seem to find one.
Thanks for the responses....

During one of last year's Grand Prix the commentator remarked (it
was during the World Series) the Formula One Motor Racing is the
ONLY sport that has a TRUE World Series (in the sense that each
event in the series takes place in a different country, with one or
two exceptions that have two Grand Prix. This was of course biassed:
there is one other sport that has a true World Series: Skiing.

| 1. Football (with a sphere and two left feet, but let's not start all that
again. Incidentally, could somebody explain to me why the northern and
Scottish types call it "in goals" instead of "in goal"? The old one
about Scottish goalkeepers again perhaps?)
2. Formula 1 motor racing.
3. Card games of varying types.
4. Cricket.
5. Misbehaving.

n. Gaelic football (and its close relative hurling). No idea about the rules,
but _brilliant_ to watch.

Re .33:
In the days before they invented goal nets (and before the game caught
on in the genteel south :-) the goalie protected a strip of line between
two short poles, or more likely a pile of cast off jerseys. These posts
or poles were "the goals". Then when the game got civilised and the
target became a singular structure, the Saturday Afternoon Warriors
"down South" called it "the goal"
re Gaelic football: what rules? (I was told once that the only rule is
you can't kill a player unless he has possesion of the ball :-). For the
uninitiated Gaelic Football bears the same relationship to games like
"gridiron" Football, that Ninjitsu bears to WWF Wrestling.
Re .34: [snow] skiing
re general :-) follows ... [its boring]
Some games have several different variants with qualifiers (like snow
skiing and water skiing). In different countries or cultures a different
one becomes default. Thus to me "skiing" means snow skiing (the water
off the coast of Britain is so cold even in Summer that a wet suit is
advisable for the other kind). Football to me (and I think most
Europeans) means "soccer" (which of course is a crude linguistic
corruption of "Association" as in "Association Football - the game's
proper name) In the USA "Football" is the gridiron game. Which brings me
to a point: shortly after arriving in New England I got involved in a
conversation with some people and it drifted, as things will, eventually
to the point were they were talking about "field hockey", this just
after discussing "hockey". Wishing to learn, when I got home I dug out
an encyclopaedia, but couldn't find anything about "field" hockey. Just
two variants of this game were listed: "hockey", a game played by two
teams, often of women, on grass, and "Ice Hockey" a game derived from
hockey in Canada, involving playing the game on ice (makes sense). This
then gave me the explanation: the common form of the game around here is
[ice] hockey, so that becomes the default, and when hockey was
introduced, apparantly someone had to invent a name for it to avoid its
confusion with ice hockey by the semantically lazy.

I used to be into basketball until an opposing team tromped on my wrist. (No

basketball game if either the Celtics or the Harlem Globetrotters are playing.

| Apparently I missed the idea of sports (not a dig). These seem
like mostly activities to me. So, in light of how the replies are
going, I will change .2 to fit the conference.
1. 4 wheeling
2. fly fishing
3. camping
4. softball
5. snow skiing
I could probably combine the first 3. I love to go 4 wheeling to
a lake to fly fish and camp.
