Roger Ferderer's a famous Swiss tennis player ~ he was ranked World #1 for 209 consecutive weeks, which I think is pretty amazing! Love him!

I started playing tennis at 10, and I still do it now. My forehand is strong, but I have zero aim when it comes to backhands. :O
 
@Scarlet Cool :O

I've practiced Jiu-Jitsu (or Ju-Jutsu) for several years, but stopped now. And I swam and rode horses and danced and stuff as well, when I was younger ^^
 
Dude, I basically..fail at sports, or anything that involves physical conduct because I'm..athletically retarded ._.

I played Football (Football with like..helmets and..a football ._.) as a lineman on junior varsity for the past 2 years (mhmm, I made JV in 8th grade when I was trying out with my friend who was 14 at the time o_O), bu that was only based on my size. There really..was no tryout for me, the fact that I was like, 6'1 and 215 lbs when I was 14 kind just..got me in by default ._.

..Needless to say my role on the team was just to be..a wall, and stand there on offense aimlessly. I was never actually taught any plays, I was just..there, ramming mindlessly into whoever was currently in front of me o_O

Other than that, I don't really watch too many sports. I didn't even hear about who won the super bowl until earlier today in school, when everyone was just..completely pissed off about it (I live in MA, like..30 minutes away from Gillette stadium..or whatever it's currently called ._.)
 
I pretty much fail at every other sport, too, apart from tennis. I'm far too passive, so in soccer, I'm never aggressive enough to actually keep the ball from the other team. They'll be all up in my face, and I'll be like "Um... here's the ball..."

._____.

Well... that's kinda what I meant by the "sillyness" of american football.... no offense, but I think it's kinda barbaric ^^;

..Dude, that doesn't make the sport 'barbaric,' that just shows my lack of knowledge towards what was actually going on. The sport itself requires alot of training, and preparation beforehand (I mean, not for me..based on my size ._.), and alot is going on at once, so people have to be focused primarily on what their role, rather than everything else going on.

It's no more 'silly' than other sports that require physical contact such as hockey, or wrestling =/
 
I apologize for the double post above. My internet tripped out. If a mod could delete the unneeded one...? >_> I'm so, so sorry! D:
 
Mm, Warheart, I guess you're right. Sport is sport, whatever form it's in. Some sports fit some people better than others, only ^^

And akaxrai (Scarlet?), that happens all the time for me :S
 
I can't find a delete button >_> Unless I'm really stupid and it's right in front of me XD
 
'A post needs deleting! , we're all gonna die!'

Could make that into a movie, you know.

Anyways, tennis? Yeah, I like it, I have a pretty good forehand. That's all I'm sayin'.

It's cause you folk press "Submit Reply" or "Post Quick Reply" more than once when the page is loading. Honest enough mistake, but still avoidable.

To delete posts, select "Edit" on your post. There should be a button saying "Delete", and upon pressing it a section containing two radio buttons should slide out below, one of which says "Delete Message". Choose that, add a reason if you wish, and then select "Delete this Message". Hope that made sense :<
 
To pound on Amachizzle's backside: press 'r'
To attack Amachizzle's monkey: press 'l'
To slash Amachizzle's Amachizzle: press me.

I'm excellent at tennis but a winner at swimming but a loser at sports.
 
About the double-post thingy, it doesn't happen with me, it says somethin like:
"you already posted the same message"

Or when I accidentally double-post two different things, it gets automatically merged, why doesn't that happen with everyone else?

Blasphemy! And aww...but as long as you have fun playing sports, that's the only thing that matters.

And yes, tennis rules! It's the gentleman's sport that's slowly become more barbaric and fun for the sake of it. And Federer aside, Gael Monfils and Marat Safin are love. <3
 
Im quite good at all the sports I try, baseball is my excell though, tennis Im quite good...
Football I had a chest injury and due to being high contact, had to end my hopeful career as a quaterback...

I love watching football, and may be a ref. in the future, who knows... I enjoy watching tennis too, GO ROGER FED.!

Another is baseball though, I play it, I love watching it...

So the main ones I watch are...
- Football
- Baseball
- Tennis :D
 
Mhmm, Australia doesn't get a lot of Baseball coverage, that or none at all, which is a shame, since I love it as well. There's also hockey, which I started in primary school, which was the closest to actually fighting other people and was heaps of fun. Wasn't really a fan of football and football (soccer), but Tennis was always number one.

So, baseball, tennis, hockey and a little track and field, since everyone loves track and field. :D
