Adding to the list of things I don't understand:
Why would joggers, who have a perfectly good sidewalk prefer to jog on the road, used by motorized vehicles?
Why not put the baskets in the game of basketball, up about thirty feet, so that genetic freaks would not dominate, but people with skill would have equal chance?
Why not give a stroke penalty to a pro golfer who misses the fairway from the tee?
And while on the subject of golf, WHY should the spectators be quiet when one of these spoiled brats come to putt or drive? Can you imagine similar demands from a football player about to make game deciding field goal attempt? Or a basketball player attempting to make a penalty shot? Would they be laughed out of the place, just like these golfers SHOULD be?
And while on the subject of sports: Who started his idiocy of "Shoot outs" in hockey? Isn't Hocey a TEAM sport? Why let the the final decision of the game determined by ONE player from each team?
If the object of sports is achieving the best you can be, why not let it happen? We all know that the validity of results is determined simply by who did and who did not get caught. If there is anyone foolish enough to think that the so-called "legitimate" winners never used performance enhancing drugs, let them prove it.
1. Fear of stepping on a crack, and thusly breaking their mother's back.
2. Because watching someone trying to chuck a basketball 30 feet in the air is funny, but only for about 10 minutes or so.
3. Because if they wanted that they should replace the rough with water, lots of water.
4. Blame tennis players, they started it.
5. The american aversion to anything ending in a tie, and hockey players aversion to playing 3 extra periods unless it is the playoffs.
6. Because sooner or later that logic will be used to allow robots in sports, and then its Terminator time.
