10 Reasons Why I Dislike Hockey
Having seen the rants of various hockey enthusiasts in here, I'd thought I'd delve into why I find the sport (and I'm being generous in calling it a sport) objectionable.
10 Reasons why I Dislike Hockey
1. Any sport that doesn't have the name "ball" is automatically suspect.
2. Whenever anything gets even close to being non snoreworthy someone is called offsides.
3. The blue line.
4. Ice. I don't particularly care for the cold.
5. Stupid team names. The Mighty Ducks? Puhleeze.
6. The puck. Unless you have HDTV it's hard to see, if you have HDTV you wonder why you wanted to see it in the first place.
7. Hockey fights. They look like a weird dance. If you want to see real good fights by athletes the NBA has some grand ones. No dancing.
8. Slapshots. The term is too close to slapstick.
9. The Penalty Box. These guys are adults right? But they're given time-outs? Sheesh!
10. Oh Canada...

Hockey still rules, dude! We love it up here!!!
Speaking of sports, how does a hockey hater feel about car races and golf? There's nothing more exciting than a NASCAR race, and a tight golf game can keep one on the edge of one's seat. I hope these manly sports interest you even though the players aren't kicking a ball around.

Uh watching cars go around and around and around in a circle is about the equivalent of watching grass grow. I turn on golf if I want to make sure to have a nap during the afternoon. Golf would be improved however, if they started calling it golfball...
I hear that the NHL strike is over, have they started playing again?

They BEEN playing, Mr. Anomly. Did you fall asleep during a golf game? Or perhaps watching the cars go in a circle hypnotized you and you lost track of time? Start waking up or you'll miss the Stanley Cup games!!

People, you're forgetting the greatest sport ever -- sumo wrestling! Thank God for cable so we can get those matches! If you think hockey rocks, try ring-side at a sumo match!!!!!

Ah sumo wrestling. More testimony to the effect that if the sport doesn't have the word "ball" in the name, it's likely to uh...suck.
Compare, baseball, basketball, football...the 3 most popular major sports here in the united states with. hockey, sumo wrestling and cricket.
NASCAR isn't really a sport. It's a different creature all together.

It ain't a sport if there's no 'ball' in the name? Such a narrow definite you have.

My definition isn't quite as narrow as you think. While I believe adding the word "ball" can improve any sport the word "ball" is not a necessary condition to defining a sport. However, it does remain a line of demarcation between good sports and uh...sucky sports.
