Other - Sports - November 2006

Their only function is to look attractive and get the crowd cheering at a sporting event - hence the name "cheerleaders." The competitions are nothing more than beauty contests to compare tricks they can do so why do they think it's a sport?

a game that the GIRLS played at my school,

what do the yanks get so excited about??

2006-11-25 06:00:25 · 10 answers · asked by DogmaDeleted 5

apparently the finalists are as folllows: jenson button (f1), joe calzaghe (boxing), darren clarke (golf), nicole cooke (cycling), ricky hatton (boxing), andy murray (tennis), monty panesar (cricket), zara phillips (equestrian), phil taylor (darts) and beth tweddle (gymnastics).

what do you make of this selection? should a footballer be nominated for an award? if so, who would you give it to and why, in relation to their performances on the pitch? if not, why not? are footballers overrated in comparison to athletes of other sports? are you pleased that not a single football player is on the shortlist?
who or what is to blame for the demise in standards during and within the game, with events occuring on and off the pitch? and even as important, as football is shunned from the limelight in this instance of the sports personality of the year awards ceremony, do you consider it as more or less significant in your eyes?

i still enjoy the game, but i believe it has lost its way recently

I was wondering what happens when a pro athlete gets fined by the governing body. For instance, if the NFL fines a football player for some horribly jackass thing he did during a game.

Does the money go to charity? Or do they just go toward an upper level manager's yearly bonus?

Can you do this without the help of your computer?
"If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners."

The stick is wide with a small curve inside to slide the ball. It's as long as the player's arm. It's a sport played in a field ans players throw the ball around using this sticks that are attached to their arms, like an extension of the player's arm.

I have a couple of Wheaties boxes and a Frosted Flakes box from the Pittsburgh Penguins 1991 and 1992 Stanley Cup wins, which are in very good shape for their age. No cereal in them, just the boxes. Any idea what they may be worth to a collerctor or anyone else?

I love playing netball and have previously joined my work teams, however at my current job- we do not have one - and not enough women to start one

Can anyone help me find one in the West London Area - in particular around Hanwell (W7), Greenford (Middlesex) or more or less anywhere in the Ealing Borough!
