I've been a hockey fan since I was 10, and with the new season starting. I would like to know who everyone's favorite NHL team is.

As if E3 and many conventions being cancelled in light of the Coronavirus becoming a world crisis, the National Basketball Association has announced that they are going to suspend the current season This was announced in reaction to Utah Jazz all-star center Rudy Gobert testing positive for Coronavirus just before they were about to begin play the Oklahoma City Thunder in Chesapeake Energy Arena. The infected player was not in the facility, however Thunder medical staff came onto the court to meet with the officials to report his positive testing, resulting in both teams leaving the court. They were quarantined in the locker rooms in Oklahoma City for no less than an hour The NBA stated in the official announcement that the main purpose of the hiatus is to determine the next steps for moving forward in regard to the pandemic. There is currently no timetable for the league to resume play

While there is a great number of fantastic artists, musicians and advisors on the forums, it seems that there is a distinct lack of sports related threads that discuss what us fans do to keep ourselves both entertained and fighting fit. So what kind of sport do you participate in? Do you even like sport? This is where people can discuss what positions they play in on their Sunday football (soccer) team, how far can you hit a golf ball with a 3 iron and how many times you've accidentally hit somebody in the face with a basketball while trying to pass it to them. Enlighten us with your sporting experience! It doesn't matter if you do it regularly or not, if you're professional or you just kick the ball around with a few mates at the local part. As a good host I shall start! I go to a kickboxing class about 3 times a week. I absolutely adore it, it keeps me fit and I love going to events and competing. I'm not brilliant at it but I've won many fights with my clubs own fight shows and a few county tournaments. Now you go...

Considering the two teams involved in this year's Super Bowl, the scene is going to have as much red as Big Macintosh with piles of bucked apples in front of the Sweet Apple Acres barn. Joke aside, Which team are you going for, Kansas City Chiefs, or San Francisco 49ers? I've been a Chiefs fan for many years. So I'm rooting for them. Though I do have family in the Bay Area.

Some people are really into sports, while others can't see what all the fuss is about. So, in your opinion, what sport is the most overrated? I personally would say basketball, virtually everyone in my town is obsessed with it and I have no idea why

Two months ago an investigation was started by Major League Baseball looking into allegations of the 2017 Houston Astros stealing signs during the World Series. I tried my best to keep away from the drama, but now, based on MLB’s findings, the allegations were confirmed. Commissioner Rob Manfred has handed down a handful of punishments to the organization. The teams general manager Jeff Luhnow and field manager AJ Hinch were both suspended for the 2020 season without pay, but team owner Jim Crane was spared. Crane announced that both Hinch and Luhnow have been fired from their positions following the findings, which include former starter Mike Fiers admitting that they used a hidden camera to steal signs for what pitches to expect. The Astros have also been fined 5 million dollars, which is the highest allowable fine under league constitution, and will not have first or second round draft picks in 2020 or 2021. I’ve provided a link to the official news article from MLB.Com about the situation, which includes a PDF report released over the investigations findings. As a hardcore MLB fan, I’ve found this news rather odd at first, but now that the word is out that they did all this, I just can’t believe how other fans must be feeling https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-sign-stealing-penalty

I live in Kentucky, so my team has to be the Wildcats! I love watching them and we've been to so many games!

How competitive are you when it comes to something you care about? It can be a game that you enjoy playing, trying to be the best in your class, pretty much anything competitive. Hmm I'd say I'm pretty competitive, but I'm not as hardcore about winning as much as some people I know. If I tried my best and put up a good fight but lost in the end, that's not too bad. I mainly hate losing at something when I know I could've won if I hadn't made some stupid mistake. So what about you guys?

I've seen a noted lack of discussions for NASCAR and auto racing fans on here, so i'm starting one up just in time for the Daytona 500 next Sunday. We can talk about NASCAR, bur we can also talk about other forms, like Indy, F1, or any other you'd like to talk about.

Do you play any sports? I do competitive swimming!

With the Washington Nationals winning their first ever World Series Championship, that means that 24 out of the 30 teams have won at least one World Series title. Meaning that there are only 6 left who have not yet won their first championship. The Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, and Colorado Rockies. For the record: The Brewers' only appearance was in 1982. They came close by taking the Cardinals to a 7th game, but lost in the end. The Rockies' only appearance was in 2007, but were swept by the Red Sox. The Padres made 2 appearances, in 1984 and 1998. They lost to the Tigers in 5 in '84, and were swept by the Yankees in '98. The Rays' only appearance was in 2008. They lost to the Phillies in 5. The Rangers made 2 back to back appearances in 2010 and 2011. They lost to the Giants in 5 in '10. but came close in '11 by taking the Cardinals to a 7th game, but lost in the end. The Mariners have never made an appearance in the World Series. But I have this optimism for seeing all the teams win at least one championship some day. Which of these 6 teams do you think will be the next one to end their drought and finally have their first championship? -
The championship season kicked off yesterday with its first match and today it is our turn! The summer break has gone so quickly.. Today Brighton face Sheffield Wednesday at home. Very excited to see what we are made of this season! Who does your team have on the first day?

I just got back from the pool. Did 20 laps with a mix of butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle. That's not much and I could only go for 30 minutes but I haven't really been super active in years due to my heart condition. Doc says exercise will strengthen it and so I went back to my favorite sport. Anyone else sharing the love for water? :3 ALSO! I know this is going to sound CRAZY but this anime influenced me back into the sport I really love and encouraged me. XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqYdp6rOBaI -

This is a terrible loss for the MLB

I used to play Soccer and Baseball. How about you? -
Racing is a hugely popular sport all over the world. As a result, there are tons of kinds too! We have GT Racing, V8 supercars, bike racing, Nascar, Indycar, Formula 1, even Go-Kart racing as well as many others. With such a wide variety, it makes me wonder what people tend to prefer, or perhaps certain people love a combination? Let's answer that! What are YOUR favorite types of racing? For me, it has to be GT racing and in second place, V8 Supercars. GT Racing is just soooo technical and I love seeing how the drivers handle the huge variety of courses all over the world. I also prefer GT racing in the Forza Motorsport series.

Today the Baseball world mourns a terrible loss. Bill Buckner, who was the NL Batting champion in 1980 with the Chicago Cubs has passed away from struggling with Dementia. Buckner played 22 seasons in the big leagues. His best year was undoubtedly 1980 as mentioned earlier. Buckner accumulated 2715 hits, 174 home runs, and 1208 Runs Batted In. Spoilered here is the moment in Buckner’s career that he is most remembered for. A fair warning for Boston Red Sox fans, it may be too painful to watch.

Why i still enjoy and stand behind the idea, of the Olympic games.
Mesme Rize posted a blog entry in Mesme Rize's Blog
(I might step on some people with my opinion. But i don't write this to hurt anybody. In the end, it's just my opinion.) There have been a number of many people, who demonized the Rio olympics for being held in a country with corruption, a poor society and the infamous zika virus, to the point that they simply don't want to watch these olympics. First of all, i want to make clear, that this is not what i am here to talk about. I always tried to not bring in politics into international sports events, because in my opinion they shouldn't belong in there. The Olympics for me, is more then just a mere sports event. It is THE Sports Event. Athletes from all around the World, come to one place, to compete in a friendly competition. It dosen't matter where they come from. It dosen't matter what religion they are part of and it dosen't matter what political believes they have. All they care about is the sport and to give their best. I think especially in times like these, where everybody is paranoid about death and terrorism being behind every corner, it is a great sign of peace and trust, for these athletes from all different cultures, to be all living in one place for almost 3 weeks. Be it Americans and Russians, South Koreans and North Koreans, or even Israelis and Palestinians. Some might call it cheesy, but i am a firm believer in the olympic spirit. Olympians don't get alot of money for competing, compared to Football/Soccer, Tennis, or Golf Tournaments, which puts the focus on the sport and the glory even more and i think this is a good sign. As i am writing this, i am watching synchronized diving and i am amazed by these great athletes. And i continue to have lots of fun. -
Sports Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski to retire from the NFL
Eren Jaeger posted a topic in General Discussion
A rather shocking turn of events as New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has decided to retire from the National Football League. He has been battling a lot of injuries in his career, earning three Super Bowl rings, ending his nine year career having played 115 games, gone for 7861 Yards, and scored 79 touchdowns. Gronkowski is only about 29. I understand injuries, but it's not like he had to do this. Obviously fans in Boston aren't gonna like the Patriots very much without him, and he has been in commercials such as the trailer for Mobile Strike. Having a career cut short by injuries doesn't sound fun at all.
