Re: No NHL this year
i miss hockey...but i can certainly live without it...
with the deadline less than 30 minutes away, looks like it will stay lights out for hockey. matty - the first i had heard of the players accepting a salary cap was monday...that had been the biggest obstacle both sides faced throughout this whole ordeal. NASCAR will be the 4th major sport...Golf doesn't have enough of a following, and there aren't any other sports competing for major network viewing than these 2...

You're right in terms of attendance. When you look at fan base, Nascar is #2 overall..... and is about to pass the NFL within the next I belive its five years. I dont know what you want to consider the major sports, but both Golf and Nascar are ahead of hockey right now. If Golf keeps going the way it is, it will defintley compete a little bit too. Maybe they should change it to the big five lol... hockey a distant 6th.

Re: No NHL this year
Although I wont miss it too much I watch it sometimes. My question is who is to blame after watching Bettmans press conference I think the players are being unfair. They refused to look at the books to see how much they are losing each year. The season would of been cool this year with a 28 game schedule like they talked about. They would of played hard every game. Not that they dont already but they would of had an every game counts mentality.

In all honesty, if there was hockey, I was going to follow the hell out of it because I think a 28 game schedule would be awsome! Oh well though, the best pro hockey team is right here in ROCHESTER, NY, baby!!

here we go with the skill vs. sport argument again. driving a car is a skill, yes, but that doesn't mean it can't be a sport. if that were the case then hitting a 90 mph fastball is a skill not a sport. tennis, golf and bowling would no longerbe considered a sport. basically what i am saying is that there are a lot of skills involved in sports so you can't say one is a skill and one is a sport. different skills make up a sport. hitting a curveball, returning a 120 mph serve, hitting a fairway wood to the dead center of a green 200 yards away, kicking a ball with a backward spin around a wall into the top right corner of a goal, a slapshot from outside the blue line into the top left corner of a goal. without any of these skills, we wouldn't have really have much of a sport to talk about. |

Re: No NHL this year
i see it this way...
i agree with NY_Skinsfan...sports are made up of a series of skills put together. not just one skill will excel you in any one sport. car racing is the same thing, and i would classify it as a team sport. without those guys in the pits, the driver is utterly lost. the driver must have the ability to not only drive the car for long distances, but also tell him pit crew what needs to be done to the car. the pit crew must be able to quickly make whatever changes that need to be done, and the crew chief must be able to plan out the race perfectly in order to put his driver out in front when it matters most. oh, and i'm a hockey fan, who will gladly watch it when it starts up again...i may not go to another game for a while, but to me, it's one more thing that keeps me glued to the tv and not doing chores around the house

Of course that's just how I feel on the subject and there will always be a discussion and debate similar to this cuz everyone's personal definition isn't 100% like the person next to them. |

Re: No NHL this year
first of all, i never said that baseball was just hitting a ball. I know there is a lot more to baseball. the point that i was trying to convey was that a sport is not just something that is physically demanding. a sport requires a set of skills. yes, some sports are more physically demanding than others but that doesn't make those less demanding less of a sport. i just don't understand the point of separating the activitities into sports and nonsports. they all require different levels skills at different levels of physical activity. and if you ask any nascar driver out there, i guarantee you they will say that their sport is very physically demanding.
