I must confess, this was tough to score. Boyst's is going for over dramatic, FireChan is actually arguing a point.

 

That said Boyst's posts are making me laugh and that is great.

 

But in the end facts are facts and jokes are the result of lack of evidence to your point.

Q2 to FC

arbitrary question. What is fact vs opinion. I always get a kick out of this type of thing in a setting like this. Particularly on EJ Manuel. He's good. He sucks. Etc.

Interesting question! On the face, is easy to say a fact is an idea backed up by evidence. An opinion is a view that isn't substantiated by the evidence. But deep down what is evidence? Other than the absolutes, like the color of the sky, isn't evidence just a persons perception of the world around them? Even the color of the sky is attributed to somebody's initial perception of color. We as a society have determined specific people are authorities on specific subjects, thus we take their perception of the world as evidence. In this case I have determined FireChan to be the authority on this particular sport, I mean subject.

this will be in my next argument that you have stated its not a sport.

 

Nonetheless its mindracking that the people who hodm so strongly to their guns that "..." sucks is annoying.

FC, this debate should have been over in about 5 minutes. Let Jeff show pics of John Daily and go on about the unemployment rate. All you had to do was play to your audience and show pics like this:

That last part is what differentiates a mindless follower from a rational thinking human being. Just because you have a view on something doesn't mean you can't be wrong. To use an over used saying, there is always more than one way to skin a cat.

Those that can accept this reality have an ability to understand more of the world around them and can act in a rational forward thinking manner.

I'm even more triggered. So triggered, in fact, that I may need to retreat to my safe space for the remainder of this battle.

 

FireChan because his soothing tones are like service dogs and play-doh, comforting me in my hour of need.

Quarter three.

Q2

 

 

I attempted to distill your drivel into a passable form. Bear with me, I'm not a miracle worker

 

1. when you can play the game whilst intoxicated without probability of injury you are playing a sport. you can drive a car drunk, too. it doesn't make it a sport

 

I can throw a football or shoot a basketball just as intoxicated. The key distinction you're missing is that your level of play is impaired when drunk, just like you cannot tackle an opponent drunk, or drive a car drunk.

 

2. when fat drunk smoking !@#$s can be at the top of the sport. it's not a sport.

 

With this argument, you'd be telling me that football ain't a sport because of this man:

 

Jared-Lorenzen-NCAA-Rule.final.jpg

 

That's right. The Hefty Lefty.

 

This man set records as a Kentucky Wildcat, got a Super Bowl ring in the NFL, became the GM for North Kentucky River Monsters, resigned as the GM to play starting QB and won the league MVP. All while weighing over 300 lbs. If this guy isn't a successful athlete, then who the !@#$ is?

 

3. and you think these men get women because they play sports? no. it's not a sport. its fame and money.

 

And they are famous because they play sports. No one pays you to sodomize cows because that ain't a sport

 

4. athletically built like a gazelle to athletically built like rosie odonnels thigh. and, yet, if you handed that thigh a putter it could outshoot tiger woods at least 1 day a month. if you gave that thigh a basketball it would not beat dennis rodman in basketball ever.

 

Putting is one aspect of the game. You give Daly a month and he eventually would make a shot that Rodman wouldn't. Unless the Worm murdered him first.

start this. take 5 breaths.

 

 

here we go. again, FC.

 

it is hard to debate topics which are arbitrary. as nkreed pointed out it is about viewpoint. if you stand on this side of the barn the sky is deep blue. if you stand on the other side of the barn there are clouds. it makes it difficult to offer a viewpoint to someone who you respect which contradicts them. You and so many here could provide great ideas of your viewpoint but no one could ever concur that golf is a sport. it is not a sport. there is no way to ever truly believe that.

You state: "I can throw a football or shoot a basketball just as intoxicated. The key distinction you're missing is that your level of play is impaired when drunk, just like you cannot tackle an opponent drunk, or drive a car drunk."

Well, I certainly can tackle drunk - how do you think I bed so many women? And, driving drunk? I mastered that at 22. These counter arguments you provide clearly display a lack of social awareness and experience in your life. If you have yet to drive intoxicated I first commend you but also tell you that you may not have lived. I have driven everything from a tractor to a lawn mower to a truck nearly black out drunk. The level of "play" being abstract to begin with I will often point out that how many fat !@#$ bastards go out and play golf sober? I think a majority of them get a few drinks at the club house before they shoot a few rounds then go play grab ass in the showers offering clementines to each other.

With this argument, you'd be telling me that football ain't a sport because of this man:

Jared-Lorenzen-NCAA-Rule.final.jpg

Cue this song for the following response.

I would like to dedicate this to FC for his love of BBW's.

Fat+Lady.jpg

Jared Lorenzen is an athlete. Plain and simple. Athletes can also play golf. Tiger Woods was an athlete, he played golf. Charles Barkley is an athlete who plays golf. He played at the Jamie Farr classic Pro Am 20 years ago and hit a bad slice which hit one of my neighbors in the foot and really messed it up. Sarah was really cute and was over there since the course was across the street. He took her family out to eat and offered her a bunch of autographed stuff. He came back a few years later to play again and went to her house out of the blue to see how she was doing. She was a year younger than I was, my sisters age and maybe 10-11 at the time. I bring that up because it really contradicts what you hear about Barkley.

But, back on point and away from the Family Guy cutaway. We are still on a tangent to discuss obesity in this country. If Lorenzen was in better shape he might have actually succeeded at a higher level of competitive to truly play professionally instead of a small gimmick league in Kentucky. Just like if John Daly and any other athlete simply took better care of themselves they could succeed at their endeavors at a much higher level. If being intoxicated impairs you than so does being fat. So does improper lifestyles. This is why Tiger Woods succeeded. He approached the hobby of golf as a sport. It doesn't make it a sport. Hell, i take masturbating like a sport. I train vigorously, have a special glove and even prefer a certain type of lotion. Does that make my nightly ritual a sport?

And they are famous because they play sports. No one pays you to sodomize cows because that ain't a sport

It does not take much to make someone famous. in todays current world a woman with 40k followers on instagram is famous and more likely to be recognized than the 3rd best golfer in the country. emma watson is no longer acting but she is still recognizable. Molly Ringwold hasn't done any major films in decades and still recognizable. Jon Daly and Tiger Woods are the most popular two golf players in the world as far as recognizable. But, if you were at the WalMart you wouldn't recognize them because it'd just be another fat dude eating a big mac at the walmart. and all black dudes look alike so who'd recognize Tiger?

and Adams Farm from Canada pays folks to sodomize animals, that is how Jeffrey Pumba Laroque got exposed. The poor kid.

You show your off base thinking with this. "Putting is one aspect of the game. You give Daly a month and he eventually would make a shot that Rodman wouldn't. Unless the Worm murdered him first."

I think this is because you're a racist. The premonition that a black man must kill someone to be successful is why I chose this score. These men are of African American persuasion. Do they kill people? No, they just kill the rhythmic beats which allow us to grove.

Your premise that just because Cis gendered white men can do something means that a black man cannot. That's wrong. Rodman is an athlete gifted enough to get the shot in. In that same month the athletic prowess of the superior black man would allow him to make shots that Daly could not. If you gave anyone with ambition a month and they can do something that John Daly couldn't. And here is an arbitrary list of things that John Daly probably could not do over the course of a month.

1. touch his toes

2. refuse ranch dressing

3. wear skinny jeans

4. touch the net of a basketball goal

5. do the macarana

f. swan dive

g. kayak

8. see his penis without a mirror

9 wipe his ass fully

10. tie his shoes.

so if those are just ten simple things the average american can do but jon daly, one of the sports best, cannot... than how can we consider it a sport? if you consider it a sport than you must say that jon daly is the sports most successful player ever because he has excelled despite being 300 lbs. he is not jared lorenzen, jared lorenzen hasn't succeeded like jon daly, despite your love of fat bbw's and bbm's. not all fat people are successful and as part of the PSA which i am required by ownership to comment on - fat people often end up with...

wilford-brimley-meme.jpg?quality=65&stri

my final song to let this all sink in as your reply...

because, as the underdog i must apologize to Tiberius, whom I am likely to face in the next round.

Thats right, if I win this ****, I am facing Tibs next. Who doesn't want to see that!

A sport is only a sport if there is the possibility of one getting killed in it. By Boyst's own admission, it looks like he dies every night. So, his "nightly ritual" is a sport even know Boyst disagrees. Now, golf? I don't see Rory gettin' any. The chick on the other hand, she has died and gone to heaven... But she isn't golfing.

 

Verdict: Boyst with the five slama jama! Golf is NOT a sport.

Well, a sport usually means competition. Do you do this with other people? If so, what constitutes "winning"? Does Betsy approve? Is a steer a transgendered cow or one of the following:
