Let me just say first, that I in no way hate women. (Except for women from France, California, Florida, or god forbid North Korea. *shudder*) But women's curling is a joke. Why? Well, even though I know nothing about the sport, mostly because it's god awful and makes me contemplate murder-suicide, I still hate it. I hate it just because it exists.
You see, when a sport, a REAL sport, is divided into genders, it's because men and women have different builds, and as such, the rules of the game, as well as the opponents, need to compensate for the difference. But in curling, no physical skill is necessary. All you do, (I think) is slide a rock down some ice, while some teammates wipe it's path with brooms. Where's the gender advantage in that?
I suppose that chances are, I don't know enough about curling. Maybe after you get a rock in the middle, you have to run two laps around the ice. Or if you knock an opponent's rock out of the middle, they have to come over and fight you. But I would think that if it was that awesome, then I would have noticed it by now.
Dude, I agree completely.
How the hell was this sport even invented? Did some bad kid, mad at his mom, huck a rock down his kitchen floor, and she swept in front of it for some reason?
And... embarrassingly, I have seen a curling match... there is no such running, nor fighting.
