“She said the sport was boring”

Was she wrong?

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.

Hell of a lot better than watching golf.

Yes. That’s all I watched this Olympics. Hearing those women scream became a drinking game.

It’s only boring if all you’re looking for is action. Curling requires talent to make the rock go where you want, but also there’s an intellectual aspect to it. It’s almost more strategic than physical.
