Vote - Sports Section
September 6, 2013 at 4:43 am
Some members suggested the idea of creating a new sports section in this forum, such as here, here, here, and recently, here.
I considered doing this as well one time, and I personally think that a sports section would generate a decent amount of discussions. There are probably many others who would like a sports section in this forum, but just haven't said anything. So, now I created a poll to see how many members support this idea and how many don't.
Note that I didn't include an "I don't care" option in the poll. I made it like that so that people choose whichever of the two options they support the most (i.e. either "yes" or "no"). But, if you are truly indifferent about having a sports section, then just don't vote at all.
After enough people have cast their votes, the staff members will discuss the issue and cast their own votes, or they may vote in this thread also, if they wish.

Like I said before, I don't oppose a new forum and some members might get a kick from it, so why not?
Oh, and carrying a ball in your hands its not football *rimshot*

Of course!!!!
The world championship is just arround the corner!
And I will annoy everyone when Germany kicks everyone off the field, especialy the Dutch.
Although I honestly believe that Brazil, Spain or Portugal will take home the prize this time.

I voted 'no' as a public service for those of us who hate American fooz-ball. If I wanted testosterone heavy posturing from couch commandos still bickering over a bad call made in '92 I could just go to a bar.
Now, if someone clarifies that topless mud wrestling is indeed a sport, I can be convinced to change my vote.

I voted no as I've never been interested in sport other than F1 and WRC.

Voted yes. I'm not a huge fan of carrying-the-ball-in-your-hand but I watch some games. Between watching paint dry and watching baseball, I'd have to go with baseball .. but it's close. Basketball is the game I watch most. Love watching the local lads -GS Warriors- kick ass in the NBA. Then there is badminton. table tennis and bikini volleyball which are rarely televised but just amazing. Also a fan of the X game sports. So sure, let there be a forum for sports.

I've always wanted to talk football on here with other members (or soccer, to some people), but I've never got the vibe that too many others are into it. Maybe with an actual sports forum people will be more willing to discuss the different sports and sports teams they like, talk about the ongoing sports seasons etc.
I'm for it.

I don't care much for sports, but I will not deny others the pleasure to talk about it. If I have to mention a favorite sport, it would be some kind of martial art. Perhaps Aikido 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Good call, Kay, I didn't even think of the martial arts potential of a sports section. If adding it increases the likelyhood of some non-wushu kung-fu discussion I am down for it. :3
