Rds1983 Posted May 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2021 Why Jake/Logan Paul are famous? They have a YouTube channel which somehow has ridiculous amounts of followers and has somehow meant they're all over my newsfeed. I barely care about professional boxing matches let alone exhibition ones featuring YouTubers and obviously staged nonsense with stealing people's baseball caps. Even if he stole his wallet it wouldn't be newsworthy. They just seem like absolute prats, just sod off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were debating the ESL on the radio a few weeks back and they were brought up as someone was saying the only 'sporting' (word used loosely) event her 12 year old and his friends had ever watched was one of their recent fights. Were people in their 30s as confused by teenagers and pop culture 20/30 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 They've got 9-ball pool on Sky at the moment. I don't get why more snooker players don't play in it because they surely would find it a piece of piss compared to snooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You retain possession of the table as long as you pot a ball. potting the nine ball wins the game at any point (as long as its not a foul) EDIT: No, just checked they play 8 ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that, but there are sports that are 'easier' than others and professionals aren't as good in them. I recently found out that professional Chess players really struggle in the draughts competitions against draughts players. I wonder, if you put Hamilton in a Nascar competition, would he still be the best driver just because he is very good at Formula 1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the money just isn't worth it to do it for more than the odd exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I guess it’s similar with the worlds of darts and javelin. You’d imagine the javelin crowd would find darts an absolute piss of piss, even without a run up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
