No funding for bandy hockey is quite weird.

 

not so much, this is the only form of hockey which is not popular and relatively underestimated and mocked about it here

Maybe, that's just a (failed) scam  

 

Anyway, with you, that make 2 slovakains who would know what the sport is. I smell growth in the air.

It basically never happens. Somme balls can be realy hard though (but there are many different kind of balls depending of the type of game). The ones playing with their bare hands with a very hard ball are the ones who suffer a lot.

 

Still my favorute racquet sport and the most fun to play a friendly game IMHO. Can't wait to see the Slovaks make their debuts on world stage

Why would the football national team and Cibulkova need state support? they earn millions already...

 

In Argentina all big money professional athletes are excluded from state support (football, tennis, basketball or volleyball players are only supported at youth level).

same for Sagan well, thats dumb really, but we haven´t this exception in our law, so all athletes (rich or poor) have the same starting line, and their financial support is calculated on the basis of obtained results, and since Domi won the WTA masters (I know it´s a bit stupid but it´s considered as a world champion title in olympic sport in this system) she is entitled to the maximum amount for inividual athlete.
