Ah, I think it was you who somewhere had a devastating writedown of this event If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I watch every race of the year, because I like it. May I decide by myself whether or not I do? You finding it boring (because yes, your opinion is not a fact) doesn't mean I can not enjoy it. So there. Hope I didn't get across too angry at someone trying to tell me what I am supposed to like or not even though I already like them or not. Kind of like when I talk about Dutch sports huh?

"No you shouldn't watch it, I find it incredibly boring, so don't watch it." Rant mode is on I never said you shouldn’t watch NASCAR. I was just stating as a former fan, why I wouldn’t waste time on it. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

As an avid fan of motor racing, both on two and four wheels, WEC is one of the few things I can not bring myself to watch. Only the 24H of Le Mans but that's tradition, and generally not very exciting. I find WEC to be the most exciting series. The only motorsports I watch anymore are WEC, IMSA, and the famous races (Monaco, Indy, etc.) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

And it's football. Yet another thing I'd gladly give up in order to watch NASCAR (and NFL). Right, never a good idea to go to sleep angry, so imma count to ten and calm down and goodnight everyone, even the Californian Totallympics users Reap what you sow. Goodnight to Belgium’s lame top hat. I’m going to enjoy my WEC, Ju-Jitsu, Frisian, and Korfball tonight hckošice and zob79 1 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,523 Posted August 30, 2019 #4318 Share Posted August 30, 2019 By the way @heywoodu I didn’t mean my post in a critical way. You had asked the Brazilians advice on sports channels and were talking about things you might watch. I was just trying to give you my opinion, as someone who’s been exposed to those sports for their whole life, on the topic. I’m sorry it offended you. I didn’t mean to discourage you from watching. I was just trying to tell you about the sport’s presence in my country. I feel like I was well in my rights to write what I wrote. I wasn’t attacking you, your country, or your sports. It’s not my fault you’re looking to stoke drama up, just because of what I said a few weeks ago. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,523 Posted August 30, 2019 #4319 Share Posted August 30, 2019 @heywoodu So look, I’ve said some rude things in this post and in posts. I also realize what I posted right before this is counterintuitive to this post. I’d like to offer out and olive branch and apologize. I’m not good at solving conflict, and I often start drama. I should have though about the post more before I made it. I’m sorry. I try to be a positive member on this forum and build other users up. This afternoon I failed at that. That is my fault, and again, I’m sorry. Cheers to being a great user. heywoodu 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
