Indeed.

Real contests of athletic ability = someone hitting a ball quite far = boring.

Fake contests of athletic abilty = some guy cutting a huge ship in half with a 6' blade = WIN.

Sports suck, and should be put on their own channel. Although I do realise the hypocrisy. if you listen to the sorts of discussions sports fans have sometimes they become fighteningly simiar to the discussions us nerds have over anime. Or video games. Or comics.
