There's a very obvious reason why we never win Eurovision, haha.

Well, if we leave the EU we won't have to participate...and the sad thing is that's the most compelling argument I've seen to leave thus far. xD

Yup! its a planned stunt but still it takes too much courage to do stunt like that.

Everyone there has a professional background in wrestling or any other sports.

Let's just say

RKO OUT OF NOWHERE.

Blech. Sports. If I want to take an interest in sports I'll get myself into shape and go play them myself, not watch others having all the "fun"

I only partially agree with that, watching a sport and playing a sport can be night and day in terms of experience. I do play a few sports that I've never cared for watching - Badminton, Squash, running but on the whole if I like a sport I'll enjoy both watching and playing, in different ways.

You've probably noticed by now that my main sport is football. Now this is a strange one, I love playing it more than any other sport but if it was a choice between never kicking a ball again or never watching the sport it would certainly mean hanging up my boots.

Actually, an article I just read summed it up pretty well. For context the football club I support just got relegated into the second tier after a really shitty and not very fun season. If you know your geography you won't need me to tell you that Ipswich is 50 miles down the road from us and are our local rivals.

'And so what followed was a most curious 45 minutes, as the home supporters did what all supporters do when all hope is lost: they sang. "Ipswich Town, we're coming for you," they roared, all of a sudden relishing the prospect of renewing parochial rivalries. The noise split the ears and warmed the heart. In those 45 minutes, Norwich's fans reminded everyone that the best thing about supporting a football team is not winning, but belonging.'

Oh, I know they can be different experiences, I just think one sounds more appealing than the other. I'm extremely lazy but I've always preferred doing something myself to watching others do it. I think part of the reason I find watching sports so unappealing is because I can't really play them myself due to my current physical condition, and that's unlikely to change in the forseeable future. The whole community aspect of clubs and teams etc. doesn't really appeal to me either...it's like one giant real-life fandom, only with the potential to blow up even further because people are actually in the same area and there are so many different factions and whatnot.

Guess it's just something I can't relate to at all, haha. But all I was saying was that I'd rather play than watch, not that the two were similar. I suppose being willing and able to play might motivate me to get into watching the sport in question more - I played a lot of sports as a kid and I had my favourites and watched the big games, etc - but...eh, I dunno.

Sure thing. Since wrestling is faked, I'd put up with that for that kind of money.
