Dumbest thing in sports? I'd say NASCAR, but really, its not a sport. Unless they add manditory 6-packs of beer to be slammed by the drivers just before the race starts, then I'm all over watching that stuff.
After that, I'd have to say World Series of Poker.
Yea... I'm inclined to agree. The dumbest thing about sports, is sports themselves.Quote:

Years of bitterness over being picked on in school has to boil over somewhere.Quote:

The WSOP is a sports game for intelligent people. It was FUCKING BORING watching it before you knew what cards they had, since you couldn't say if someone had a good hand, or a bad hand, thus analyzing their play was retarded. At the level a WSOP player should be at to compete, you might as well compress the entire tournement down to dry comentary printed out by a machine.
Athletes staying in school to finish their degree when they are guaranteed millions if they go pro.
Can finish a degree later. Chancing a career ending injury for another season in college seems not too bright for me.
The dumbest thing is spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build sports stadiums, so a group of millionaires won't have to.
That is dumb on the part of politicians and the taxpayers who vote for them, but it's smart for the teams and leagues. And is that sports or politics? Then again, for some people politics is a sport.Quote:
