Reed, you disappoint me I thought you were going to say as baiting posters on forums is your real sport.  Seriously if you came to America and watched the teenagers play this sport you wouldn’t draw that analogy.  Even if you did not like it you could never say fake. Professional athletes do not detract from the sport itself which in some parts of this big old country is like a religion.  Oops forgot you don't do that well either.

Hee hee, I'm not sure I'm more worried that you KNOW so much about darts but I stand corrected.

I'm pissed off that no-one noticed my arrowhead formed by country names!

By the way darts=arrows!

Soccer (or shall we give it's propper name of FOOTBALL) is indeed a bloody girls sport. Have you seen how quickly these babies go down under a tackle nowadays??? Not like in the 60's & 70's where footy was a MAN's sport. They had ciggarettes at half time for God's sake and lined their boots with razor blades and breathed fire and....and....(wheeze)....

....I'm of to watch a nice relaxing game of baseball 

Baseball? Isn't that the schoolgirl's game of rounders . And isn't American football just rugby but with girly protective padding and daft helmets?.

Astros and Red Sox in the world series.

Darts? yawn! Now Snooker, thats a game!

And while we're on the subject, FOOTBALL, a game in which one uses one's FEET rather than one's hands.(the clue's in the name.)

(easy guys, easy, it's all good clean fun.)

But gallons of Steroids, EPA and Human Growth Hormones that's OK is it?

Just like Darts then - World Darts Championships held in the UK and played by....oh yes, by people from the UK (and a few Dutch people as well I think)
