Cubers who like sports

[Nacho9]

I do sailing, I sail on Wednesdays and sometimes on Saturdays, I usually sail Fusions/Toppers but the folk there like to go on big boats altogether, but then we sail for like 30 minutes out of 1 and a ½ hours, I also own a topper called 'Fruit salad st. yopper'.

I used to sail a lot, and then I got inner ear issues so I quit.

Just because your national team is trash doesn’t mean the sport is dying.

Here are a few reasons why I think that the cricket is dying:

No 1: Fewer countries are participating in the World Cup than in the 2000s. Before there used to be 14, but now there are only 8. FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 had 32, with the next edition, 2026, having 64. While other sports are increasing their numbers, cricket isn't.

No 2: The "Big 3" deal made in 2017 has done more harm than good because the up-and-coming teams couldn't be paid fairly, resulting in insufficient funds. This is the exact fate the West Indies suffered after their board faced bankruptcy. (The "Big 3" Deal was a deal presented to the ICC (International Cricket Committee) that proposed that India, England, and Australia would get most of the revenue from the ICC)

No 3: Indians playing for the IPL can't play for other leagues. The fact that this happens sickens me because that just means that the IPL is only for the Indians, while the Pakistan National team has been sending their players to smaller leagues like the literal motherf@#$ing Major League Cricket. My point here is that the BCCI is trying to rake the most money from the IPL by not sending their players to other smaller leagues to help them grow.

There are so many other reasons why I think so, but that's all I could think of right now cuz it's the middle of the night for me rn. The main reasons for cricket dying are MONEY, GREED, and CORRUPTION.

Your players are only worth for the smaller leagues, also I have seen Indians playing in another leagues.
also can you maybe not make India the bane of your existence?

Spoiler: Extremely Satirical Post

Instead of arguing about cricket, how about you help your government at begging at the IMF’s feet.

Excuse me? You called that "satire"? Do you think that politics helps you win an argument? Fine, I'll just say some mean things about your Prime Minister and call it "satire", but no, I'm better than that. Politics doesn't help you win an argument, no, debate's a better word. In a debate, you say how you disagree in a respectful way, but you decided to use such an obnoxious way of telling me that you disagree by using the "satirical post" above. Not only have you shown no actual proof, but you also made yourself lower in everyone's eyes by taking such an offensive and vulnerable way of telling me that you disagree.

also can you maybe not make India the bane of your existence?

When did I say that India was the problem? I mentioned that England and Australia were in the "Big 3" deal alongside India.

Your players are only worth for the smaller leagues, also I have seen Indians playing in another leagues.

First of all, the players we have are new and young. They have just stepped into their first World Cup, of course they won't perform. Secondly, name one player who has played in the previous World Cup and isn't in the IPL. I'm sure you haven't any. Your board's greed to increase its monetary revenue from the IPL hurts cricket. Remember when Ronaldo came to Saudi? Nobody had even heard of the Saudi Pro League before Ronaldo joined. Fast forward to the present, and interest in the Saudi Pro League has risen, with numerous stars coming to Saudi Arabia to play. That is the advantage of bringing stars to small leagues. It helps the growth of 1) the exposure and 2) the growth of the sport in the country overall. In fact, by saying that our players are worth for smaller leagues, you're clearly stating that the Pakistan Cricket Board is doing its best to promote the sport by allowing players to go overseas to play cricket in different countries, unlike the BCCI. Muhammad Rizwan is a great wicketkeeper, and he was playing for the Major League in the US last year. That helped the US population in being exposed to this new sport because a great player was playing in their league.

To end my side of the argument, please don't use any hateful and offensive remarks in a debate, please. It just hurts your argument and your reputation.

The players in the IPL are the best of the best ofc they would be in the WC, also you are right your players will become very good in the future. Also I didn’t realise that joke was mean, I make it with a lot of my other friends and the don’t think it’s mean. Ig IRL things can sound a bit more sarcastic.

Would video games be considered kind of a sport? When you game with a controller, you’re using your energy to move joysticks and many games include strategies and logic to figure out some stuff. Kinda similar to cubing.

Hope this is satire

I play high school basketball, football, and baseball. Baseball is #1. I also really enjoy disc golf (casually)

Funny that prior to that you quoted football as an example of successful sport. Money, greed and corruption may be part of the problem, but can't be the whole problem or even the main component of it (assuming there's indeed one - cricket is one of the few sports I've never followed), since football is doing just fine. Indeed, I believe you'll find money, greed and corruption in any sport played on Earth (maybe this is human nature?) - but I'll yield that may not be the main component for a few of them (speedcubing for instance)

E-sports are sports. Axiomatically

Oh boy let’s not get into this debate again

 

[AhsanDaCuber125]

Not really a debate anymore, coming to the fact that e-Sports has literally sports mentioned in it, which makes it a sport.

Simply because the word "sport" appears in the name does not automatically make it a sport.
