I’m just not good with names, and I feel like we’ve already established this. It’s also hard for me to remember the names of younger athletes, who I haven’t seen as often. It still is quite shocking her name didn’t ring bell after how dominant she’s been this year. I just can’t believe the world’s top skateboarders aren’t getting any acknowledgement. They’ve achieved much more in longer careers (even though they’re 13-17) Edited December 24, 2019 by Olympian1010 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

It's like saying someone is a basketball fan but hasn't heard about James Harden I don't watch skateboarding and probably never will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should honestly know more names, but I just don’t. I don’t actually watch a lot of sport outside multi-sports games or world championships. I don’t really have one overall passion. I have a bunch of subjects/hobbies that I’m rather knowledgeable about. There’s also like 150 sports to follow, so it can be a lot. I really do need to get better at watching sports though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Reminds me of this: (Hint #1 everyone in Europe knows how Michael Jordan looks like ). All these LeBron vs Jordan debates you have in USA are moot, Europe votes for Jordan all the time. Hint #2 nobody over here knows a damn thing about baseball, even a guy wearing a Yankee cap can't recognize Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
