Lots of non-mass sports are that way.
Try getting on a fixed gear bicycle and doing laps at a velodrome.
People that don’t do a sport often have no real clue about the difficulty involved.
There are a lot of target shooters here. How often are you exasperated with people that have no idea how difficult that is?

People that dont do a sport Stop calling curling a sport.
If curling is a sport, then darts is a sport.

I dont understand curling, but I bet the players have floors you could eat off of.

My brother was a very good curler in high school. I competed in track and basketball. Every time he talked about curling being a sport I replied that if a player sets down his drink to take his turn, its not a sport.
That said, curling is very fun and I was really bad at it. In high school we had a curling unit every year in phy ed and thats the extent of my experience. But I loved hanging out at the curling rink after basketball practice when my mom curled.
My home town welcomes you with a big sign The curling capital of southern Minnesota.

I don’t mind curling. I just always imagined it as something invented by a bunch of guys on an ice-covered field behind a tavern.

Awwww, thanks NorthstarMom.
I agree with your definition of what makes a sport.
I got no problem with curling. Just don't call it a sport. Ex cross country and middle distance track guy.

Hahaha, nice curling iron to go along with the brooms they carry.
I find it to be the most fascinating winter sport to watch - not just for the beautiful intense women but for the interesting strategies involved.

Total respect for curling after living a decade in a country where it was played. Schwingen, not as much. To me the sport of schwingen still looks like aggressive homosexual latency.
