I think watching sports is so borring. Why would anyone watch someone else play a sport. I think stupid men just wanna play war so they invented sports so they wouldn't get in trouble.
Sports are sooooo borring! you are just watching people kick a ball around. who cares! its just a ball. i hate it when my boyfriend makes me watch sports. And soccer is the most borrring.
" I think watching sports is so borring" Unfortunately, your thoughts are not sufficient to alter reality, or provide evidence for it. "Why would anyone watch someone else play a sport." "Sports are sooooo borring! you are just watching people kick a ball around. who cares! its just a ball. " It's just a ball that, as it happens, people are making optimum use of their bodies and minds to move past someone attempting the opposite. The entertaining part is seeing HOW they use those minds, along with what limits the body can be pushed to. By your arguments, debating must be boring, after all, it's just "People pushing words around." And yet not only do you engage in the activity yourself, but you clearly enjoy watching the activity, or you wouldn't have singled out me of all the people on this site to specifically challenge you for this debate. Thus, for you to defend this resolution on the grounds you have attempted, unless you can show some fundamental difference in the boredom potential of balls and words, you would have to be engaging in a performative contradiction. And few sports consist of "Just" kicking. "I think stupid men just wanna play war so they invented sports so they wouldn't get in trouble. " Clearly, you are correct on all but the "Stupid" part. Sports did indeed originate as proxies for war according to anthropological evidence. War is no doubt more entertaining than sports, at least when it happens in easily watchable, fast-paced segments (which is rare)... but there are obvious reasons for limiting war to... special occasions, no? In the meantime we have to make do with the somewhat diminished, but still present, entertainment value of sports. " i hate it when my boyfriend makes me watch sports." I hate it when anyone "Makes" innocent people do anything, as any civilized human would, which would mean perhaps your disdain at sports today is aimed in the wrong direction, an unfortunate case of guilt by association. I suggest you dump such a coercive man immediately, and then go watch some American football when your head clears (it is the most entertaining sport available, as it contains such a heavy dose of mental challenges, creativity, to justify the brute strength.). Perhaps you'll rethink the resolution when you are no longer being forced to. "And soccer is the most borrring." It is more boring than some sports, especially when played poorly, but there are more boring sports out there... track and field, curling, etc. Such sports are boring because they are monotonous, you will never see anything new done, just see it done better. This is not entirely true of soccer, but it frequently is at all but the highest levels. American football, however, requires constant creativity, infinite possibilities for very distinctive plays to attempt. Since it too is a sport, and I need only defend one sport to invalidate your resolution, I think I'm in good shape. :D |

And the fact remains it is frequently entertaining :D.
Watching debates is a waste of ones life. It is minutes and hours of your life you will never get back. One should wash the car or fix something or create something with that waste of time instead.
