Hey, we girls have to have our fun, too! Though I do think a "no crying" rule would be fine, lots of sports have crying afterwards, but no other one has a designated "kiss and cry" area.

What did Hemingway say about sports?

Mountain climbing, bull fighting and car racing are sports, the rest are games?

As I watch sports I see a clear definition about them.

Golf is a puzzle, so is bowling, curling and darts?

Those are all challenges. You get to a point, then it's out of your hands.
There is a skill involved....but you have 'time' to figure out a strategy.

I agree with the judging bit....

But, then you have the 1972 U.S. basketball team.

I still remember poor Hank Iba's face after that game with the Russkies....

I still want to bomb Russia over THAT game.

There was a Crying area at that venue.

Interesting fact about the Silver Medals 'awarded' the team. I watched a special on that game and the medals were never picked up by the team, they sit someplace -unawarded.

One guy even put in in his will that none of his family would never be allowed to accept it on his behalf.
