Hmm. To do? Anything horse related. I used to show... did jumping quite a bit. And then one of my horses (Smoky) contracted shin splints and then the other whom I had just bought a few months before coliced and had to be put to sleep.
Anyone who says horse related sports aren't sports doesn't know what they're talking about. I was in better shape when I did jumping then a lot of people who played soccer or were on the school track teams!

Also, I like to play soccer (in any weather) with my friends.
Football at night (when you paste glowsticks to the football)... and Handball. And wrestling (*went to provincials three years in a row for wrestling*)
Ahh... when I used to be active.

I don't see cheerleading as a sport really. You just wave pompoms and go rah-rah-rah and do gymnastic moves in short skirts.

It IS a sport. We have pompons (Yeah thats how you spell it.) But we barely ever use them. And yeah the skirts are short but it would be dangerous to do some of the stuff we do in baggy clothes. People would get hurt. And the actual cheering as in saying cheers takes some effort too. You have to use your diaphraghm. You have to stay in shape for cheerleading too. You have to lift 100 pound people up above your heads. As far as injuries go cheerleading is right up there with football. Any person that doesn't thing cheerleading is a sport should go to a cheerleading practice. I don't think most of them could handle it.

100lb people aren't that heavy

100lb people weigh alot when your a small girl like me that only weighs 80 lbs.Also last year during football season I lost my voice 3 or 4 times.We lift people into the air, above our heads, and even pop (or throw) then up into the air and catching them again its difficult and confusing but definatley a sport...it's on ESPN too!

Ice-skating would be my favorite sport; when I was little I was in ice-shows at our local ice rink. I remember wanting to be a professional ice skater when I grew up. Now, I hardly ever get to ice skate, but I still enjoy watching it on TV. Volleyball would have to be my second favorite sport; I've been playing it since I was little.

Tennis is my favourite sport, because I love playing it ^^

My favorite sport to do is dance. Yes, I do consider it a sport. You have to work hard, and there are competitions, just like cheerleading, figure skating, and gymnastics.

My favorite sport to watch is baseball, but only the Red Sox really. I like tp watch dance and cheerleading too, but it's not on nearly as much.

For watching- I'll say that my all-time favorite sport for watching is gymnastics, with ice skating in a close second, followed by football and baseball.

For playing- I'll say volley-ball for this one. It's a very hard sport to play; you have to have good hand eye cordination and upper body strength. In second place, softball. Again, it takes hand eye cordination and lots of upper body strength. In third comes trampolining. Yes, I consider it a sport. A lot of the tricks are really, really hard. In fourth, ice/roller skating. Doing some of the tricks can be really difficult.

Volleyball is so hard!
We played it in PE ONCE. Yeesh.

I love Soccer, Hockey, Rugby, Tennis, Football. I play at least three of those, a week. I also run in track and I love to sprint.

++--) my first post!

My favourite sport would be dance, but that's not to say I'm any good at it. Heck, I'm terrible at it, just as I am terrible at all physical activity in the world. That doesn't prevent me from liking it though.

I also like watching rhythmic gymnastics, or what I fondly dubbed "ribbon gymnastics". Any sport that is physically graceful attracts me as it seems a little more like an art to me, and I am a very attracted-to-art person.

Rugby League is my favourite sport. For those unfamiliar with it, rugby league is similar to rugby union but better in many ways that I don't want to elaborate in.

It's played in England and Australia, so aussies should be familiar with it.

Wayhey, Rugby league!

I've been horseback riding for over 7 years now

Don't have my own horse though, don't have the time, space and money

I watch pretty much every major sport although I'm just more into those two above. However, it seems like majority of the people I know only like football or basketball.

Yeah, im pretty much in the same area as you when it comes to sports, Senja.

However, my writing of letters to both unions has hit a stalemate, I can only write so many letters in blood, yknow?
It's a joke? Get it? haha
