In case you haven't noticed, Russians don't care much about political corectness Besides why is this "allegedly" racist gesture? Either it's racist or not. You don't need some stupid court to decide what it is. The Koreans really blew it hard in the game itself so no wonder they're getting mocked now.

Historically it is the America's Game for sure due to the long-standing league existence, it's like arguing over hockey & curling in Canada though I suspect hockey would be #1 hands down.

Baseball probably profits from being the oldest organized sport in America and before WWII there was this, boxing & horse racing over there? However right now I guess gridiron football is waaaay ahead of the curve. I can argue basketball is more popular than baseball as well? I mean you probably have more Latinos playing in MLB than blacks and NFL & NBA are dominated by black athletes so the color barrier has long fallen. I'm gonna bet preseason football that starts tomorrow beats all MLB viewing numbers alone.

One Polish journalist once told a story he bought a sporting newspaper in Denmark and it was like 8 pages of handball before anything else. He thought it was a handball special magazine but no, it was all-purpose sporting magazine but handball took all the front pages

Tennis pulls further ahead as the top-paid sport for women. Forbes published a list of the highest-earning female athletes and tennis players occupy Top 11 spots on the list (some of them weren't even all that successful in 2018). The only non-tennis athletes are Alex Morgan (soccer), PV Sindhu (badminton) & Ariya Jutanugarn (golf). https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2019/08/06/the-highest-paid-female-athletes-2019-serena-and-osaka-dominate/ Name Total earnings Prize money/salary Endorsements Serena Williams £24.3m ($29.2m) £3.45m ($4.2m) £20.57m ($25m) Naomi Osaka £20m ($24.3m) £6.8m ($8.3m) £13.14 ($16m) Angelique Kerber £9.71m ($11.8m) £4.85m ($5.3m) £5.34m ($6.5m) Simona Halep, £8.39m ($10.2m) £5.09m ($6.2m) £3.2m ($4m) Sloane Stephens £7.90m ($9.6m) £3.36m ($4.1m) £4.59m ($5.5m) Caroline Wozniacki £6.17m ($7.5m) £2.87m ($3.5m) £3.2m ($4m) Maria Sharapova £5.76 ($7m) £823k ($1m) £4.92m ($6m) Karolina Pliskova £5.18 ($6.3m) £3.77m ($4.6m) £1.39m ($1.7m) Elina Svitolina £5.02m ($6.1m) £3.77m ($4.6m) £1.2m ($1.5m) Venus Williams £4.84m ($5.9m) £739k ($900k) £4.1m ($5m) Garbine Muguruza £4.84m ($5.9m) £1.97m ($2.4m) £2.87m ($3.5m) Alex Morgan £4.77m ($5.8m) £205,416 ($250k) £4.51m ($5.5m) PV Sindhu £4.53m ($5.5m) £410,833 ($500k) £4.1m ($5m) Madison Keys £4.53m ($5.5m) £2.04m ($2.5m) £2.46m ($3m) Ariya Jutanugarn £4.35 ($5.3m) £2.7m ($3.3m) £1.64m ($2m)

Cricket & badminton don't have a global following but they're popular in some of the most populous parts of the world (Southeast Asia) while being totally absent in Europe or the continental Americas hence their market numbers are skewed. I mean nobody really plays badminton in Europe other than Denmark and some one-offs like Carolina Marin

Ski Jumping only evolved after Adam Malysz period of success, this is a fair weather sport elevation tbh. Watch us suck after the Stoch-Kubacki-Zyla generation ends. Volleyball is back on top after a lenghty dry spell in the 80s/90s. Speedway is one sport pretty non-existent outside of Scandinavia & England that keeps producing success over the years. For a while it was the only sport which Poland hosted a World Championship-level event. If you look at the one-day format from 1936-1981 only three countries hosted the Individual WC (England, Sweden, Poland). As for cycling I feel like it's more popular in Belgium than Netherlands. I used to think speed skating is pretty much the Dutch national sport, no way even cycling tops that?

For the record, he didn't hit this culvert with his head but more like with his entire body. The internal injuries were allegedly massive and he didn't stand a chance to survive. It sounds like his heart stopped beating from the force of the impact alone.

Formula 1 FIA World Championship 2019
Monzanator replied to Totallympics's topic in Non-Olympic Sports
I believe heywoodu forgot when Red Bull was the most boring-ass team in F1 when they dominated in the blown diffuser era. And I absolutely can't stand Christian Horner at all. As for Gasly, Helmut Marko & co are notorious for their short leash, Gasly might survive the summer break but he basically costs Red Bull a shot at 2nd place in the standings. Ferrari is clearly the third fastest car but Gasly gets lapped by his teammate and can't pass a McLaren. He's living on borrowed time and has been underperforming this season. -
What's so funny about it? AR-15 IS a M16 civilian version Spot the difference
-
Then it's very much a grey area. If you can buy a M16 to shoot squirrels and nobody's asking any questions then this is what I call a DNA problem no mainstream liberal will solve. The report mentioned it's not the army version but a civilian M16 version with the rubber selection fire conversion or whatever it's called they attach. This is the prohibition shortcut I was talking about. And if you can do this legally now what good is any gun law clampdown? Also on display were some fancy bows you couldn't even bring to Poland bc they would be instantly confiscated but they're so damn legal in the USA
-
And what is the gun black market anyway? Few years back a Polish journalist went to Texas and showed how easy it is to legally buy a semi-auto weapon based on a squirrel hunting permit. I see stories about freaks buying 30 items of guns for "protection" and all that crap. Even Obama couldn't provide a fresh start for the gun control and I can't see any of those new candidates having more culture change potential than he had. If Obama failed it's truly a lost cause. The prohibition argument is very easy and makes a ton of sense. People HATE when some politicial big wigs tell them what's best for them. It never works esp. in the day of social media and news spreading like cockroaches. Watch how Mexico'a war on drugs ended in even more violence and had the project blow up in the sky. Government fighting drugs, booze & guns seems so fine on paper but it never works in real life.
-
Wasn't there a movie about it with John Cusack? Good luck with that in real life. Obviously any restrictions on selling guns will only fuel the black market just like the prohibition in the 20s which resulted in an increase of alocohol consumption. Nothing drives people like the proverbial forbidden fruit And herein lies your problem, it's just a political move and a chance to get back at that looney Trump. Will it actually make your country any safer? Obviously not. You're gonna find a new excuse when Trump's tenure in the White House ends.

20 year old rookie Hinako Shibuno playing in her first tournament outside of Japan has won the British Open with a ridiculous birdie on the last hole Hideki Matsuyama probably became the second most popular golfer in Japan in like five seconds after this went in.

Right! Ingrid Kristiansen's NR is 30:13,74 so Johaug would have set the house on fire with that time. It's 32:20 indeed (but I took this result from Polish media so they're the ones to blame). My search of the Norwegian media has the 2nd place finisher at 34:47 so yeah, she did lap her twice And she was 20 secs. faster than Steira's 2014 result (what else is new).

Johaug won in 30:20,87 and lapped everyone twice

You can have a black Jewish gay president and these mass shootings will happen again and again. Stop foolin' yourself

Mercedes with a KO strategy punch. They had nothing to lose but Hamilton was able to push to the max for 20 laps. In the current "save equipment" era of F1 this is truly unique. Not a bad race by Hungaroring standards -
Another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio... even Hollywood wouldn't come up with this kind of stuff!
-
Yes, sadly there are so many mass shootings in USA these days, nobody cares about them anymore. But blaming Trump doesn't make sense, even if he goes and there's a Dems President these things will happen again and again. I've said before NRA basically holds both the main parties hostage and gun control laws won't change anytime soon. You can pass hate crime laws whatever, that's just giving a plain murder a new fancy name. People will spend more time mocking the likes of Trump on twitter than really doing anything about these mass murders. But it comes down to culture, gun violence is rooted in your DNA and that's the way it is.
