I have a suggestion for a new DU Group

[bearfan454]

How about a sports group ? There are a lot of sports fans here I know. I need 10 people to agree and I will send this to the Ask the Administrators Forum. Would anybody like to see a Sports Forum ?

1. sure

I am in.

[ComerPerro]

2. I lost my star, but otherwise I would be there

So, kick.

[Catherine Vincent]

3. I thought there was one already?

[DireStrike]

4. There's a sports forum already

[bearfan454]

5. I just found that out.

I should look around more first I guess. Thanks.

7. Aren't there enough sports forums out on the web

that would negate the need to start one here? I mean do we really need waste bandwidth on a truly useless topic?

Yes, I know there are some other groups and yes I know that I don't have to read such a forum, but we are moving far afield of DU's purpose and introducing a forum that would generate useless discussions about useless athletes who for some reason are WORSHIPED in our culture despite the fact that they are spoiled, overpaid thugs who make no worthwhile contribution to society.

Some jackass can stuff a ball through a hoop, or smack a ball with a stick, gets paid millions (which generally gets blown on booze, drugs, and sex) while fireman, policeman, EMT's, nurses, teachers, etc get a pittance in comparison for performing vital functions for society.

Folks, if you want to play sports, that's cool. Played them myself and had a good time, but the only thing more inane to me than WATCHING OTHER people play sports, is TALKING to other people about WATCHING OTHER people play sports.

Sheesh.

8. actually, there IS something more inane than talking about sports.

It's complaining about people talking about sports. You're trolling. How about you go back to the "useful" topics and leave this one alone?

10. I am not "trolling" sir, these

are my honest opinions. Sorry you don't like them.
