I'm not a hunter but you have to be kidding. Anyways, I feel bad for a lot of these kids. You can tell most of them are really, really awkward socially. I'm sure they'll grow out of it(Who wasn't awkward when they were a teen?) and those brains they have will lead them to great careers anyway so no biggie.
It's not, but the E in ESPN stands for entertainment, and while one could debate if watching kids spell words is entertaining, that's the justification they could use. Now, not to sound racist about the whole thing, but can someone please explain to me what it is with Indians? I know that generally speaking Indian parents are extremely concerned with academic performance, and frankly many times they're just smarter than the average person. But 5 straight spellings bees for a race that has population about the size of Iowa is down right insane, and clearly not fluke, yet the odds seem astronomical.
Miami Heat - LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh
Charlotte Bobcats - Gerald Henderson, DJ Augustin, Bismack Biyombo
Advantage: Heat
And that's still considered a sport.
The Bobcats know they are playing and can prepare according with gameplans, plays, etc..., unlike an animal being shot over 100 feet away with a projectile going over 400 mph...
The boar really doesn't know considering he doesn't cheat carrying a high powered scoped rifle, doesn't he? Unless you're telling me that you're going up with your bare hands against a boar, then you have a point, until then, you are wrong.

To me, in order for something to be considered a sport, both sides have to know they are playing...
Look a wild boar in the eyes. See if you think he doesn't know the game.
Where have you been? It's covered every year. Stop living under that giant piece of cheese. I just never understood why they cover it. On occasion, ESPN gives the WWE coverage. Do you consider that a sport?

I do actually hate hunting though, feel bad for the animals. Anywho!

Hippy? No. I'm not against some hunting either, as long as the 'hunters' aren't using technology that would take any skill away from how our ancestors did it when it was life or death, not for the amusement of killing animals (Pretty sure I am setting myself up here since I am a Eagles fan... but whatever, cross that bridge when/if it comes). http://www.futureoftech.msnbc.msn.com/technology/futureoftech/smart-bullet-ready-leave-lab-hit-target-more-1-mile-795153 Yeah, a laser-guided bullet that can travel over a mile, and maneuver around objects.... takes more talent to spell huipil.
[QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"][QUOTE="Chutebox"] Ya no.... Denial is the first step to the road of acceptance. Lol, coming from an Eagle fan!? And that bullet is ridiculous. I have accepted that we will win a Superbowl. yeah, it is...

Yeah straight up beast blood. Hand to hand combat.

Agreed. Nohablosports has always been a smelly f*** hippy. Now it makes sense. What a f**** lib.
But they can't carry a game of the Cup? Talk about F1, MotoGP? NHL? Soccer? Show more than just the final rounds of the X Games? I actually agree with No Halbo, if somebody hunts with a knife or a bow and arrow then ok, but just shooting something from football fields away is pretty weak sauce.

That has more to do with the NHL than ESPN. NHL sold the rights to NBC again for a long time. ESPN put a bid in to air NHL games but the NHL stuck with their crappy TV partners.

ESPN put a bid in to air NHL games but the NHL stuck with their crappy TV partners.Basically, I just don't understand why then. I would imagine even if ESPN had a lower overall offer, being on ESPN for the entireity of the series would be better than being on a Network which devotes half its programming to hunting and fishing shows for two games.
Why are people so bothered by what is or isn't labeled a sport? It isn't getting in the way of your physical football league so get over it... We just got done with the NASCAR thread.
[QUOTE="juden41"]It's not a sport, or athletic activity, but it is a skilled competition. ESPN covers poker too. That's definitely not a sport. Exactly...gotta fill up the time slots with something!
