It would be boring for those who don't take the time to understand the game.

When I was younger, I used to think that it was boring (as well as bocci - a somewhat similar game). But once you play the game, you learn that it's not as simple as it looks and it takes quite a bit of skill to master. It's a very intricate game.

Also, when I was younger, I thought golf was boring too. Then I started playing and I realized that it took quite a bit of skill and started appreciating the professional players and the years they put into the game to get to that particular level.

On a similar note, do you think the women's hockey team winning the gold medal will garner equal coverage as the men's did in 1980?

Will SI make it a cover story?

There’s a local beer hall with bocci (or is it a bocci club selling beer? I forget).

I found that beer and bocci go REALLY well with each other.

I presume that the rock is actually curling to some extent as it travels down the ice. Am I correct and would you agree that they should have a camera directly overhead to show this and make it a little bit more intriguing? I have peeked in on a few matches and find it interesting. Must be a lot of mental training as well as physical. Crazy composure to avoid the rocks while sweeping.
