1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.
2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.
3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOT BALL.
4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.
5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.
6. The sport of choice for corporate officers is GOLF.

Amazing Conclusion:
The higher you are in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls
become.

And where do you fit in the Corporate structure? :-p

Last I checked I was dead-poor and unemployed ..
But I hate bowling, baseball is for dimwits and only game of golf I'd play is frisbee-golf.
I prolly should play Basketball, but since I play squash I guess I ought to aim for the middle-management.

/G is just a little confused

Interesting conclusion, and I am extremely afraid, since both my parents are managers, and their parents were managers...thank god I'm going USAF, I'll never make General! Yay! Im safe.

But, you will probably become a Staff Seargent which equals middle managment. The military is no haven from managment. Their whole purpose is to manage things, people, what-have-you. :-p

I like everyone of those sports except baseball, that sport is the devil.

But I plan on being rich, so, i'll be rich yet if you merge all the balls together, i'll have the bigger balls, so.....I win.

I like football already (American Football that is!), so heh, I'm already being groomed towards leading a squad of people! OH NO! Today I got command of a squad in my ROTC class (breifly, nobody is really stupid enough to give a Private a Squad, just it was me and two other Pvts so I ranked in first (somehow)) heh I'm sooooo screwed.

Also, better SSG than 1LT, you know the average ;ifespan of a Lieutenant on the battlefield? 16 seconds...they suffer the highest casualty rate per capita than any other rank.

Infantry Grunts come in seconds because while they are slaughtered by the truckload, they also number the highest.

American football is for little girlies, play a real contact sport...

So where does hockey fit in? :D
Feb 19, 2004 paedric link
About the same level as (American) football.

Rugby > football. We dont need any of your poncy padding.
Feb 20, 2004 toshiro link
hmm... hockey is indefinitely cooler than football, mainly because it's so much faster.
the padding is needed there, speeds are too high...

I fully agree that rugby pwns football, and football pwns soccer. Sucker is for wusses with over protective parents who think they're doing a good thing by dragging their pusy kids to a pussy sport

David Beckham breaks his TOE, thats right his LITTLE TOE, and doesnt play for 8 weeks.

Can we get an "OMFG!!!" from the audience?
Feb 20, 2004 Urza link
we can get a "pussy." from me.
Feb 21, 2004 simondearsley link
...and a nod from me...
Feb 21, 2004 toshiro link
hmm...
i bet all of those who bash soccer now don't know how to kick :)

/me wonders where Pelota fits in

Small balls but very very fast (250kmh plus)
Feb 21, 2004 Spider link
If I've understood the culture around it, pelota is for poor, but not necessarily "urban" populations...

So, the further you are from the city the smaller your balls get? ;)
