Dr. C asked me on another thread if I had ever played a team sport, and I said yes, but wouldn't admit what they were (hockey and badminton for my school). I obviously have macho tendencies buried in there somewhere, as I'm embarrassed by these sports against my better judgement. Probably cos these were popularly known as girly sports in my school (hell, it wasn't just the rugby players, but the rugby COACHES that made fun of us!) So, this is the thread where you admit to playing wussy sports. I also contend that the girliest of all the girly sports is synchronised swimming.

Also, what sports are considered girly and why? Hockey and badminton players benefit from extra strength and speed, same as in rugby or football, it seems to me. So why wussy?

That implies that I have strength and speed. Let it be known that I have neither.

Uh, Hockey is wussy? I've seen some pretty hardcore injuries as a result of playing that game. Also, I'd like to see someone claim they felt like a wuss whilst being a Hockey goalie. That's some scary shit.

Are we going to have a culture clash here though?

UK field hockey - associated with jolly and capable young ladies in netball skirts and PE knickers.

US ice hockey - mad bloody thirsty men in big scarey plastic helmets and padding.

Wussy sports = Rugby Union

Hands! They use their hands, which any fule no is the basic definition of wussy sport. Even though girls can't catch as well as boys can.

no way is ice hockey wussy. Have you ever seen an ice hockey fight? It's genuinely scary.

figure skating is wussy. badminton is definitely wussy. As well as some weird basketball-like game I've heard of which only girls play in little pinnies with the initials of their positions on them and only certain people are allowed to shoot the ball.

cricket is wussy (n.b. I like cricket). golf is wussy. They wear pullover sweaters and slacks to play = it is wussy.

american football is wussy, i mean if you compare it to rugby

― Chupa-Cabras (vicc13), Wednesday, 6 November 2002 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

And since Rugby is wussy, that makes US Football (Gridiron! arf!) way wussy.

Field Hockey is popular middle-class sport in the Netherlands, as much with men as women.

"I also contend that the girliest of all the girly sports is synchronised swimming"

I disagree, I was once a member of a synchronised ice skating team that was soo girly, a friend and I *had* to quit after the first practice.

The most non-wussy sport is something I know as European Speed Ball. It is kind of like rugby except faster, harder, and more intense in that I played it with no protection and it resulted in strait out fist fights and brawls of the pile nature. (geez, was it fun)

rules: two teams, two goals, and a bunch of balls.

Synchronised swimming is girly but its damm hard. Holding your breath for that long underwater.

I refuse to hear ice hockey called American

Its our sport gawddammitt.
I survived years of rugby, soccer and football without injury, its hockey that I got my sholder seperated and my ankles destroyed playing lowly rep A. High school hockey is pretty wimpy its true. If you take the fighting out of the game you take the fight too. Gets all stick work and clutch and grab.

"real men fight it out w.scrawn not brawn)"

No, real men fight it out with brains, not brawn. I contend that chess is the roughest, toughest game known to man.

I'm so wussy I'm not on sports. I'm on the quiz team and we call our competitions meets. So that way when we say "oh yeah we're playing this school at the meet tonight" we sound cool, as long as no one asks what we play.

― Maria (Maria), Thursday, 7 November 2002 00:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Yahoo chess, anyone?

IM me at: mortap

Croquet is way wussy. As is badminton, but I like it (actually, I wish I had the opportunity to play it now).

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 7 November 2002 04:56 (twenty-three years ago)

no way! croquet is one of the most nasty and vicious games known to man _and_ every player carries a blunt object. how there hasn't been tons of bloody croquet murders i don't know.

― angela (angela), Thursday, 7 November 2002 09:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Curling.

― nellskies (minna), Thursday, 7 November 2002 10:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Croquet to be fair is psychologically brutal - its all about screwing it up for your opponents. In terms of pyhsical violence it doesn't really cut it - though the mallets have potential.
