I believe that there are certain things in the world that should be banned. for now I will only be talking about sports that qualify for that titleI have nothing against sports. I really dont. But I do have something against ideas that clearly the world will be better without. I blog this article today knowing fully well that most people with whom I have had this discussion have not shared my thoughts.
1. All forms of motorsport
I say this because all motor sports use carbon fuel to run their vehicles. I mean if feels like there are two types of people in the world. One side is literally going crazy asking people to reduce carbon emissions, save energy and switch to alternative fuels and mitigate their dependence on fossil fuel and the other side? well they are busy running cars to see which one wins. and the way they go about is pointless as well. I mean if racing to see who wins wasnt bad enough, they first have a "qualifying session" in which drivers drive alone against their own lap times....meanwhile ofcourse using fossil fuel.
2. Golf
Golf is a boring game. But thats not the problem I have with it. I see golf as an extremely elitist sport and the courses for which, takes up LOADs of land for no particular reason whatsoever. Land that could be used to make shelters for homeless people, I meant somewhat "spacious" shelters for homeless people. It could be used to make recreational zones or parks where ALL the people can come with their families, and where kids can play(different sports than the one I have mentioned here) OR instead of wasting land on golf courses(with their bunkers and other obstacles) the entire area could be forested. Quarter of the cost and benefits the entire community.
3.Cricket
Cricket has apparently already listened to my advice without my having to voice it. The 5 day test match format and the 1 day format is an immense waste of time. So they have started the shorter version of the game. But I do understand why the 5 day format is called the "test" because its quite testing on ones patience when after 5 days of play the match results in a draw.
I cant think of other sports right now but I am sure there are. Humanity is not so evolved as it thinks it is after all.
