Off Topic PDC Darts World Championshi

I can't, in all good faith, call Darts a sport.

 

The picture has gone, looks like I was right.

 

What was it? Walk-on girls?

 

Can't say now, it's not allowed.

 

Go on Balkan, no ones listening.

 

The skill level in darts is unbelievable these days , back in the day when ***s and beer were allowed I can see why it was a joke , but it is serious business these days- the top guys spend 6-8 hours a day in the practice room , 400k for the winner of this years World championships, Van Gerwen earnt over 1 million last year, that is some hobby .

 

Exactly.

Is cycling a sport? I dont think so.

 

Oh it's gone off twitter. I've not been censored. Fair play that Jackie Wilson is still there.

 

My ex-wifes parents lived round the corner from a pub he owned in Stoke. I always found him to be an alright bloke to be fair. I met him at least a dozen or more times.

 

I'm never that bothered about the 'is something a sport' debate. If people watch it and play it competitively like a sport then to them it is. Others can think what they want, but they won't care less.

 

Spot on...apart from formula 1 of course which is simply a test of engineering while little people drive the cars round in circles so they can find out which engineers are the best at engineering

 

why are they so fat though?
surely if they were athletic they would be even better? sharper brain, calmer heart rate

if you had a man that was just incredibly, fitter than anyone else, say a biologically engineered man, he would win the cycling every time
it's not a skilled event, hence why it's notorious for drug cheats

 

There's a lot of tactics in cycling, and its competitive. Its a sport.

Its a sport, whereas Darts does have a question mark about it, the physical aspects.

 

Nah
That’s just down to the team deciding which of their drivers that they want to win at the start of the season
Probably based on hat sales or something

 

Into his 21st world final - the fairytale ending is on - sport , game , hobby , pastime - you can't deny that is phenomenal

 

Deffo sport. He's the same level of fitness as our team.

 

Mental exertion is physical.
