What sport do you play?

I am so sorry I even said anything, LOL.
What I meant @PingPongCuber and @LiamSquirrell was that I imagine that most people would say that they play table tennis because they played it once at a kid's birthday party and beat all the kids there and now think they are professionals. It also kinda sounds lame to an outsider (much like cubing) but I tried to remedy my joke with the fact that table tennis can get crazy as a match. As for the title, I just searched 'crazy ping pong' and picked the first video after watching the first few minutes.
 
i didn't even know this was still continuing. Thought everyone had said their piece and moved on. I clearly created quite a stir. I understand people laugh at the sport, and thats okay, much like i imagine everyone laughs at us for cubing. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but obviously when it becomes vicious, it's time to step away. I apologise to anyone i feel i may have upset, i just intended on getting my opinion across. As a lover of this sport, i become very passionate and sometimes too hotheaded to see the problems i am causing myself in the long run. Some might say they are the same when it comes to cubing, but will never see it until hours after looking back on their moment of seeing red and going full on at any given issue they see. Like i said before, i have a lot of experience in this field, and try to be as educating as possible, but sometimes i come across too strong and some people don't like that, especially those i do not know. People that know me understand my passion therefore they accept my... confidence, as i'd call it. Again, if i have upset anyone in this thread, i apologise, i am just extremely passionate about my sport, much like people are with their religion, their country or their cubing.

You are not alone in this believe me. Go look at the "Parents threw a way my cubes" thread and you will understand true argument.

Have you ever watched Olympic Curling with literally anyone? It's just them making fun of it the whole sport.

It's just a prank.

Haha but seriously curling is shuffleboard meets chess at 10mph and even though it’s on ice no one wears skates.

I actually find curling extremely enjoyable to watch and found interest in it during the 2010 games...quite easy to poke fun at it though.

Side note, has anyone ever seen or played Hurling? It’s field hockey meets lacrosse and blew my mind when I watched a game in Ireland with some locals.

Edit: Don’t put your popcorn away yet...is Foosball a sport?

Yeah, same here. It's actually enjoying to watch them try to manipulate the other's shot to make it benifit them in cool ways.

It has fast reaction times, so it's as much as a sport as baseball.

I'm pretty sure that having to have fast reaction times is not the thing holding sports back from the olympics. (cubing)

I still can't tell what makes baseball players belive that lacrosse players are inferior athletes to them. Good job, you swung a small piece of wood and ran about 30 yards. Now let me be the inferior athlete by guarding an extremely fast attackman and trying to keep him in front of my while simultaneously using my 6-foot metal rod to hit him and his stick all while using immaculate footwork for an hour. I don't want to offend any baseball players that respect other sports, but if you are one of those guys that craps on everything else that happens to be in the spring then re-evaluate your life choices and think about doing a sport that requires more than a 30-yard dash after a 4-minute period of close to nothing.
