I wanna see a Jai Alai match, and I'da seen my first one when we were in FLA, but we had to pick my mom up at the airport. Stinkin' airport and their "schedules" ::) Any game where someone could get killed by the sheer power the human body can produce has the potential to be interesting. It may suck mightily, but I still wanna see a match or whatever you call a Jai Alai meet-up-and-play thingy.

Anything requiring PATIENTS isn't considered a sport here, it's considered an Emergency Room. Now if the sport rquired PATIENCE, we play boring sports like golf, poker, tennis, bowling....heck, we even watch cars drive around in loops for hours on end, we've got PATIENCE in droves.

Next you'll be telling us we're considered fat and slothful because we don't have the ability to park our asses in front of a tv for hours on end.....WATCHING SPORTS!

Agreed Drew.

It's like saying all Australian blokes are chick magnets what with our huge oversized genitals and rugged good looks.

Sure it is mostly true, but not always as we also have many English & American people who are Australian citizens.

I think danny is just trying to be a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- stirrer.

When guys still manage to get paralyzed or concussed, perhaps several times, before quitting playing, you are correct in saying it isn't sissy then. :P
