Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

I hadn't before this morning, either. It looks like each of them is determined by whichever team gets a +1 advantage first. As soon as that happens the other team just gets jumped.

Daltos is 100% right about the definition of sports but it's also worth mentioning that there's nothing wrong with being an athletic competition rather than a sport, like there's nothing wrong with being a hot dog instead of a sandwich

Daltos has the right definitions but the wrong way of using them.

Golfing and bowling are not sports. They're competitive games where you try to outscore opponents but you can't do anything about your opponent.

Tennis is a sport. You are trying to outscore your opponent while preventing them from scoring.

Tennis isn't a sport it's an athletic competition I'm not sure why this is so confusing

Again athletic competitions aren't a bad thing they're just inferior to sports (ie baseball is an athletic competitions due to the nature of 1 on 1 matchups and is the worst of the four major "sports" even though it's technically not one)

An athletic competition is the 400m sprint or swimming or the high jump or American Ninja Warrior. These athletes are competing on even ground to see who's the most athletic, and cannot directly affect the outcomes of their competitors.

Tennis is not that. The "best athlete" doesn't win by default -- the winner is the person who defeats their opponents until there are none remaining. You have to simultaneously be a good enough athlete and a good enough tennis player to win. This dynamic is present regardless if it's singles or doubles.

It’s interesting 1) Pete Carrol and Steve Kerr apparently have a podcast on the ringer, 2) Pete said so far C19 hasn’t really set teams behind at all but will start to now, so if attitudes about the season are going to change you might see that snowball starting to roll.

Goddamnit I'm bored enough I'm actually thinking about this. I think the tied together arms would actually end up being the most effective punch with decent coordination since that's the only way both guys could get their hips into things.

Football is an athletic competition when teams are in man defense but it's a sport when they play zone

Basketball is a sport except when Kobe Bryant played for the Lakers or that playoff game LeBron had against the Pistons in 2006, those were athletic competitions

Soccer is a sport except for penalty kicks, those are an athletic competition

Golf is a sport unless it's in match play, then it's an athletic competition

Fencing? Always an athletic competition.
