Poll: Nascar

[JourneyThroughHell]

It's alright. I could watch it although Formula 1 is much, much better.
So, yeah, if they show it here, I would switch it one to have it in the background.

 

[Yureina]

I could not care less.

Hear hear. In my opinion formula 1 is actually boring also, but it still beats the hell out of Nascars.

Im not even sports fan but for me,
"Less interesting than" chart of SpecklePattern (Q2/2010):
Nascar < glass of milk < dead mosquito < all olympic games < Football/soccer < Formula 1 < any blank piece of paper < Sponge Bob squarepants < Ice cream < coffee

I could not watch cars going around a track a hundred times. Even the crashes can't make it interesting.

By the way, haven't they heard that turning right is faster than turning left?!

Seriously though, if Nascar is a sport, than so is playing videogames, it takes the exact same skills, good reflexes and the ability to sit on your ass for hours.

I didn't know I could crash and die in real life while playing games =p

Otherwise, yeah, I kind of agree.

Is the possibility of death really the dividing factor between a sport and a game? In that case, I guess we better tell Tiger Woods he's not really a professional athlete since what he's doing isn't dangerous enough to be considered a sport.

But, then again, golf requires far more complex skills - not to mention amount of physical activity, than gaming or driving...

I find watching sports boring. I'd rather be down there competing.

So...you agree that Nascar shouldn't be a sport...?

Not really, I don't give a fuck what people might want to call sport and sink money into marketing it to get more money afterward. I don't care about racing personally because I find it boring to watch. Same applies to pretty much every sport. But if someone wants to call it sport, why the fuck not? I'm not here to defend some kind of bullshit sanctity of the label "sport".

 

[Xojins]

Nascar is not a real sport.
