November 06, 2008 6:00 PM Next time don't talk when you don't know what you're talking about, sorta like the obama thing but even more so. Cross Country is just as much a sport as basketball or football, you don't just run, you run at least 5 Kilometers (3.1 miles) as fast as you can and try to place high because if you're the top 6 placer on your team you count towards your team's final score and you have to place well so you don't add to your score. The team with the lowest score wins. So if our team ran, some kid got 5th place on our team, I got 12th, then somebody got 22nd, 35th, 56th, 100th. That last placer totally killed us because 100 is a big number. I'd like to see YOU run 5K in good time, actually, I'd like to see you even RUN 5K without collapsing or slowing down to almost a walk. There are a lot of rules to follow and a lot of skill involved, not "just running". And if you're a good runner, there's a lot of pain to be considered and dealt with. It's a RACE. It's a SPORT. And it's an extremely tough sport, requiring both mental and physical toughness and skill. I laugh because they canceled football practice when it rained out, and we still went out and ran through the rain. We ran through sub 50 degree weather. Our fingers were numb and we were forced to wear short shorts and sleeveless shirts but we ran. Football players think they're so tough... I also laugh when basketball players and football players are like "oh man practice was so hard, we had to run around the gym/football field like 5 times!" and they seem like they want my sympathy, but since we run > 3 miles EVERY DAY in practice, it's a bit tougher than whatever. EDIT: Oh and here's a good short article you can read which I believe is short and straight to the point and yet so perfectly true... Link And another longer one but CLEARLY addresses the point: Link Post edited by ledi51 on November 07, 2008. ---------- >.< |

November 07, 2008 6:00 PM I wouldn't say whatever's not a sport. I would say you're an idiot though. Cross Country is an olympic sport, they run it at the olympics. And if you read any of those pages or even skimmed over them you would know it takes more than "running". It takes persistence and mental toughness, and dedication. The people who are bad at CC are the people who slow down when they start to get tired. Those people come in last. You have to run through that tiredness and soon after tiredness pain, to the point where some people who just ran very hard throw up after crossing the finish line. The sport makes you push yourself to the limits and farther to achieve victory, which is something not even basketball or hockey or football do. First line from the Wikipedia definition: (Quote) Cross Country running is a sport of running Dictionary.com:(Quote) a cross-country sport or race.

November 08, 2008 6:00 PM CC is a sport and basketball is somewhat a contact sport. Everyone happy now? I play bandy, and it is ALOT harder than hockey. For those of you that have seen the John Rose Oval (A.K.A. the Super-rink) it's gigantic with a huge rectangle of ice between the oval kind of like how school has a football field in the track. We use that whole thing and brute strength is not the key to winning this game because, there's no checking. It depends on agility, stick handling, maneuvering skills, and endurance. Not as much endurance as CC, duh, but after 45 min. of practically non-stop skating, you don't feel like sprinting down a 100 yd ice sheet that's for sure. I absolutely hate it when people say that I don't play a sport because if I say, "I play bandy", they think I'm like some sort of wierdo playing an ancient indian game, and if I do say that I play bandy, I say that it's kinda like hockey only with a different stick and there's no checking. It's a real sport, just like CC. ---------- School school school school school WEEKEND! school school school school school WEEKEND! school.... |

November 08, 2008 6:00 PM It is. Me and carl for the past 2 years, we've been undefeated. He was sort of my mentor so now it's my time to shine because he has to play with the adults now. I will next year too. I'm so pumped for when that happens. Me and him played last year against some adults. Me and him, against 4 of them. We only lost by 1 point. ---------- School school school school school WEEKEND! school school school school school WEEKEND! school.... |

November 12, 2008 6:00 PM It is. The part that's most hardcore is that half the time I forget to bring a couple of pads and it hurts getting hit in the back of your knee with a ceramic ball going like 70 mph.... ---------- School school school school school WEEKEND! school school school school school WEEKEND! school.... |

November 15, 2008 6:00 PM Basketball is a very physical sport. By the way Johnny you last played in 7th grade. Im in 9th grade and let me tell you 9th grade basketball is a lot more rough than when in 7th grade. Oh and by the way I would say that for cc you must be in shape but it is definetly NOT a sport. I is essentially a glorified mile run. Oh my God lets try to beat my old time. ---------- You are all evil snails and you can suck on this! |
