Any Fitness Nerds here?

Ew sports gross goodbye.

For really? lol Sports are awesome.

He's one of the people who despises sports so much that if mentioned even briefly they will get very annoyed; sometimes even angry. And the funny thing is that most of them haven't even tried watching sport.

Yeah probably 8 out of 10 of the people you are talking about haven't watched one in their entire life.

I had a friend online about a year ago now and we were close even though we'd never met in real life but he always got ****** off when I talked about sport. Sometimes I'd say 'My team won today and I'm really happy!' and he'd get ******. One day I sent him the message 'Ew your north team play today' (I often joked that he supported a certain team because it was called North Melbourne and he lived in Melbourne) and he replied with 'Sports bye *angry worm face*' and left forever.

Idiots lol.

Wow, what a joke. I love sports.

And they censored the word p i s s e d.

Yeah I figured that was the word though. I don't think it use to be censored.

I need whatever Volke uses to keep swears uncensored. I'm not going to be running around yelling f*** or s*** every second but for words that aren't really swears it would be great.

I have no idea, probably an add on for your browser.

I googled it, and apparently some are still competing. I find it funny how it somehow got overturned.... lol. Like its either a performance enhancer, or it isn't.

"Efimova, 24, previously served a 16-month suspension for doping and earlier this year failed a test for meldonium, a banned substance, though the result was overturned."

Anyways the fans are letting the athletes know.

I think it's a really weird situation because some athletes are passing tests now and previously passed tests, but now those previous tests are in questions and athletes may have beaten those tests in the past. These drug tests and athlete cheating is akin to tax law loopholes. Athletes just look for gaps in the drug testing where they gain an advantage that isn't detected with the help of doctors/scientists. Business people are exploiting tax loopholes by working with accountants and tax law experts. It's all a game, but seems to benefit those willing to "cheat." I've heard some tennis players complain because it seems an abnormal amount of top-level professional players have prescriptions for some type of asthma medication, which I think helps improve their oxygen intake. I've heard people say, "you're not trying if you're not cheating," but I think that shouldn't include drug use. Some shirt grabbing or a little off the ball shoving during a basketball game is fine, but this stuff is too much.

How many people compete in the Olympics? That's a lot of people just from one area.

Not sure about the entire olympics, but the original russian team was 389 members. So 118 got kicked out.

That's really crazy. Lot of talent out there in the big world.

Matt, I have watched it. It doesn't annoy me I just like saying 'ew sports'. I don't mind it but I'd prefer not watching it. No idea why I say 'ew sports' though...

STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT MENTALLY STABLE ENOUGH!!!!!!!



Spoiler:

Ew a Dan... lol JK

I hate watching soccer - it is so slow and boring and you'll be lucky to see a goal scored. Soooooo defensive; take it on a bit and go crazy. That's why I love watching AFL cause there's scoring regularly so it's not usually boring to watch, but it doesn't have a score one second and another score 10 seconds later regularly. Scoring amounts in NFL and Rugby are ok for me too. Basketball + Netball are too high scoring (you can be scored against and then score yourself within seconds).

However I guess in a high scoring sport (AFL, Basketball, Netball) if the team you support scores it's like 'cool this is pretty good' but if they score in a moderate scoring sport (NFL, Rugby) it's like 'yeah! they scored!', and if your team scores in a low scoring sport (Soccer, Hockey) it's like 'HELL YEAH WE'VE SCORED!!!'.

Football(NFL & College), Basketball(NBA & College) that's my favorites.

Yeah its a shame, that athletes feel the need to use performance enhancers in order to compete. Not only does it ruin their own body, it sets a very bad image for younger kids watching.

There's no way to completely eliminate it either, scientists will continue to find enhancers, which will go under the radar.

I'm not sure why they think they can fly under the radar to gain the edge using enhancements. Someone always gets caught.

Sports only annoys me when it's on the news. Currently, there's only about 1 or 2 actual news stories because it's doing the bloody olympics the whole time.


Jeeeeeesus.
