Now, that's a sport?: Any disagreement?

I completely disagree and I've had it up to here with your wedgie picking bashing, garfield.

Wedgie watching could be considered a sport. Kind of like cameltoe watching.

If they outlaw wedgie picking, only outlaws will pick wedgies.

Yeah, that's a sport, but that ain't no Misty May.

It's not a sport when drunken people play it on the beach every weekend.

What would so-called beach so-called volleyball be like if the men had to wear the equivalent to the women's required uniform? Put 'em all out there in butt-floss nut-huggers and see how long they'd stand for it...
posted by lil_brown_bat at 06:26 PM on July 13, 2005
Wasn't it ice skating that had to legislate costumes because women kept wearing less and less in the hope of a bigger score?

Any chance of getting a photo of some of you guys?
posted by yerfatma at 07:24 PM on July 13, 2005
It's definitely a sport, but single link threads to Yahoo pics still aren't very good posts.
posted by Ufez Jones at 07:52 PM on July 13, 2005
It's for their comfort..... Oh, please. How many articles of clothing have you worn that would qualify as wedgie picking whatever? Your entertainment, yes, their comfort.....I don't think so.

Ice Dancing is purty too, and I don't think that's much of a sport neither. And no knock on Misty or Kerri, but the straight-up athletic prowess of these spirited competitors is not what snuck this sport into the Olympic Pantheon.

So, seriously. That's really jerseygirl, right? 'Bout time we got a picture....

I'm with goddam and LBB. While volleyball is a sport, this post was added only to display a picture of a woman's behind. Sad. Can't those of you who find this so amusing simply download it and add it to the rest of the files you hide on your computers?

Cheers, all you funny people. And finally someone used the word 'noob' on SpoFi. It's all downhill from here.
posted by WeedyMcSmokey at 08:09 AM on July 14, 2005
That's really horrible, terrapin. Just because we like to look at a woman's behind, you immediately jump to the conclusion we all have pR0n on our hard drives. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to figure out which file that picture gets saved in ...
posted by wfrazerjr at 08:16 AM on July 14, 2005
del.icio.us works well for that sort of filing work.

>>>While volleyball is a sport Wait, beach volleyball's a sport!? I figured it was ESPN filler meant to attract the 18-34 male demographic by showing scantily-clad women and therefore sell ad space at a higher premium. Viva Walt Disney! :)

Wait, beach volleyball's a sport!? It was a medal event in the Olympics. Hi John. Didn't know you were here too

It was a medal event in the Olympics. And probably in prime time on TV.

lbb, I will be happy to pose for a picture in that type of swim trunks but you have to promise to look at it with either laughing hysterically, vomiting or gouging your eyes out. Goddam has met me, she can vouch for this.

This was definitely a pretty sexist post. I tried not to comment, because the ladies here do a good job of keeping the boys in line, but maybe next time a post like this should have links to the players involved, and the sport in general, instead of just a pic of some girl's ass. I'd say more, but I have to go comb my ponytail and practice some John Mayer tunes on my acoustic guitar.

We need nude photos of John Madden, just to cleanse the pallette. And as a peace offering.

bill, i wouldn't laugh or vomit or gouge my eyes out. but i still wouldn't want to see you wearing a marble bag. but, i wouldn't want to see karch kiraly in one either if that makes you feel better.
posted by goddam at 09:37 PM on July 14, 2005
GIS for marble bag. I don't think Bill or Karch would fit in any of these.

oh, you know what i meant. maybe banana hammock would've been a better choice of words.

You mean because it's to google.ca? Me neither. Who knows what those filthy people do all day.

I think the pictures of ladies butts are easily balanced by the pictures of soccer players getting kicked in the jimmies. And as I recall, didn't we have a trouser snake loose on the pitch in some photos last month?? Look ladies, you get pictures of Beckham, we get pictures of Backends... This seems fair to me.

At ~4200m near Song Pan, Sichuan, China during May Holiday. Sorry you asked yet?

Look ladies, you get pictures of Beckham, we get pictures of Backends... This seems fair to me. It would be fair, if you granted a couple of assumptions. The first is that that looking at Beckham does for us what looking at women's bikinied asses does for you. The second is that sexism directed against women can be canceled out by what you perceive as sexism directed against men, and all the bad stuff goes away as long as the number of offenses are equal. While there are individual exceptions, the former assumption is hooey -- women, in general, don't automatically need a drool cup when a well-built guy hoves into view -- and as for the latter, I defer to the people of Northern Ireland or Israel/Palestine as to whether an eye for an eye makes everyone happy.
