Baseball is not a big sport. Cricket is far bigger.

Table tennis and golf arent sports....theyre games like checkers and pool.

Table tennis players probably have to be in better shape than baseball players and golfers.....

I vote all 3 are stricken from this list!

Basketball is dominated by genetic misfits, a circus freakshow
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

True. When people say Caster Semenya should be disqualified from competing against other women because her testosterene levels are at a male level, and that gives her an unfair advantage, I say fine, but then you should also ban people taller than two metres from playing basketball, because that's not normal either, and it gives them an unfair advantage against shorter men.
