I'd like to see a separate set of sporting events
where the taking of performance enhancing drugs is condoned. I reckon the steroid Olympics would be way more exciting than the normal ones.

You could have a seperate league table for athletes and drug companies like they do in F1 with drivers and constructors.

Haha, yes.
I think this is a great idea. There may be a few objections people would make on ethical grounds, but I for one would like to see the kind of super athlete that a few decades of concerted, well funded smart drug research could produce. At the moment it's mainly military people in on the game, and they don't like to share.

it'll become like the horse racing fraternity
with "stud" athletes and farms. Human rights folks might get a little upset. But I'm with you, it's all for our entertainment anyway, and they'll be too dumb to realise how badly they're treated anyhow. Unitl one of them freaks out because of the 'roids and starts ripping heads off spectators. I'll watch form home thanks.

Like in the red dwarf book
where they grow goal keeper that are 8ft tall x 8yds wide, and boxers that are just nerveless wedges of flesh

don't let on, right, but I'm playing Nerdgo and I am just waiting for a reference to graphing calculators, then I can stand up and shout NERDGO! I can't hardly wait, I tell you

I did make a fully functional oscilloscope at uni if that counts... that was kind of graphy.

I've been with my dying grandad all day yet clicking that link has been todays lowlight.
I just can't see why they're not allowed to rugby tackle.

It's non-contact. That's just how it is. Saying that it should have an element of some other sport in it isn't very clever.
( Frisbee TeaBoy, Thu 23 Jun 2011, 16:49, archived)

I'm just saying what would make the sport appeal to me.
Like if any player goes down 'injured' in football, the game should be stopped and that player should have the piss taken out of him until he gets back up, all embarrassed. That would make me start playing again.

and fuck it, I take back my dickheadish comment to start. I came here to de-stress today not act like a bellend to people.
( Harold Bishop's Love Child some sort of terrifying sex magician., Thu 23 Jun 2011, 16:56, archived)

From my perspective I would think the game would be much worse if it was a contact sport.
It's not refereed, so it'd pretty much be a disaster.
It's hard to play to a competitive level without the contact anyway.
( Frisbee TeaBoy, Thu 23 Jun 2011, 17:03, archived)
