Default Sports you just don't see the point of
Okay, let us start a thread about useless sports. Name a sport and argue why you consider it such a waste of time.

1. Modern archery. Using 234 devices in order to help you make an arrow hit the target, just does not seem to cut it.

Speed-walking. Same as running, but with stretched legs.

The road race in cycling. It is an individual event, but the race is done by teams. Makes no sense.

Volley ball. That's just a dumb game unless you are on drunk on the beach.

Skeleton?

Skiing. Instead of going down, we must attempt to try and break our bones, and even risk our lives (fatalities in skiing do occur). Not very sensible to me.

Staying on the skiing what about snow shoeing... What's the point of walking in the snow with tennis rackets on your feet...
