NHL sees uptick in Covid-19 problems. I tuned in the watch my San Jose Sharks on NBCSportsNet and the game vs Vegas is postponed. First chance I've had to see them play and it's gone. :(

I don't consider synchronized swimming as a sport either, but the Olympic committee does. Although I did enjoy the SNL video starring Martin Short where they made fun of it. It was very funny!

I don't either.

And can leave you more upset! Think about Roy Jones Jr in 1988 losing the gold medal to a Korean he had obviously beat in Boxing. Boxing, that's another sport that requires more muscle and agility than baseball and decided by judges except in the case of a KO.

Indeed. Although boxing can leave you scratching your head outside the Olympics too. Some real creative judging going on at times!

I am just a very big kid.

I agree. I loved going to watch the Twins as long as they played at the Met well into adulthood. Same with the Gophers at Memorial Stadium & Williams Arena. The Metrodome not so much. Target Field, as nice as it is, doesn't hold the same charm.

Break dancing is not a sport. Baseball & softball are.

Mostly the same, but figure skating and gymnastics definitely both require athletic moves. The jumps require lots of leg strength in both sports and both require a great deal of balance.

Agree. It is harder for me to get into the events that are purely based on judging. Some are better than others.
