I'm really not a big sports fan. It just never really interested me.

Favorite sport? I'm gonna say freestyle wrestling. It's fast paced, doesn't take a lot of equipment, it's very technical, so there's lots to learn about it, and anything can happen at any given time. Any position can end up a hundred different ways, and the match could be over in seconds at any point. Intense.
Boxing's alright... about the same in a lot of respects, but (I think) a bit less complex.

Oh, and as for the war without bodies... I'll have to disagree with that. There are bodies sometimes. Grave injuries, and very rarely death.

........I'm a big sportsman. It's the healthiest form of competition.

In reference to the war question : sometimes it is, if you're playing a really aggresive and malicious tema or people that you dont like then, then it is. However if you're playing with some friends then it's a fun, healthy way to spend your time.

Interesting question... should war be decided in the ring (I'm substituting wrestling for whatever sport you had in mind)? Only if that means I get to see Bush take on Saddam Hussein while wearing a star spangled singlet. Furthermore, skip the debates between Bush and Kerry, and plop the two of them centre circle. No election, no scandal, just a non-partisan referee and.... ah, forget it. There's no such thing as a non-partisan referee.

American Football, Jeet Kune Do, Lacrosse, Pro wrestling ;)
Philadelphia Eagles
Sports are great to build teamwork skills, physical fitness, leadership, selfesteem
Sport is a good example of small war, esp football as it is the greatest land conquering game. You have a general (quarterbacks), cavalry (wide receivers and tightends), foot soldiers (linesmen), shock troops (half backs and full backs), going against an opposing force of defensive players. It is a great mini war which takes an hour and a half to over three hours.

yes, that what I mean.
in basketball, as example, you need high percent from close range, and far range. you need to beat enemies with team work. and most important, there are dozens of hits each game.

I like to play almost anything but the only thing that I can stand to watch on TV is NFL football. My favorite football team is the Philadelphia Eagles. My favorite baseball team is the Houston Astros.
