I saw some womens softball the other day. Three teams and three medal winning positions. What a useless set up for a terribly dull sport.

Is there anything worse?

Most boring? Sailing. With out a doubt. You may have never seen it on because they usually air it after 2 am.

Perhaps they just all look the same?

I am sure the commentator said there were only 3 teams, maybe he meant only three left. I guess I was so sucked up by the action that I may have missed a few subtle points.

Either:
A. Table Tennis (ping-pong)
or
B. Badmitton (did i spell that right?)

I can play both of these in my back yard.

I think i read that the pitcher for the US softball team is supposed to be hot.

These are some of the most popular sports in Asia. Americans here just don't understand it.

No, they are the same. Just like soccer and kickball.
