It may be dorky, but how long has it been since there was a report on bridge during a network sports segment?

I remember from the books that poeple were suposed to throw balls to hit opponents as har as they could, not to make some shitty fake fall. That thing is a joke

At the family reunions, we have all kind of silly competitions, like running with a potato balancing on a spoon you hold in your mouth.

Denmark is great in dorky sports. We also have world champions in steam roler polo, and under-water rugby (several of my relatives play that).

Not to mention torball, a game in which you have to be blind-folded but there is a bell inside the ball so you can locate it on the sound. The good thing about this is that it allows blind people to compete in the open series without being disadvantaged. A friend of mine (who happens to be blind) was in the national selection when she was young.

Sounds like a good laugh - but I'm not sure it scales to having large crowds - how do hear the ball? Imagine a world cup event with them vuvu-whatever they were things!

Apologies, but I'm pretty much obliged to send this link



when blind football is mentioned.
