The Olympic committee is toying around w/ the idea of taking out softball/baseball, badminton, and tug of war. I am all behind tug of war being taken out, but softball?
Which sports would you choose to take out of the olympics and why?
Here is a list of sports for reference: http://www.olympic.org/uk/sports/index_uk.asp
equestrian,badmington and shooting
I am obsessed with softball, and when ever i hear people say, Softball isnt a sport, or, Softball is to easy, i get upset. I just think that people need to get out there and play the sport before they judge it. But my question is, Why do people always say things like that?
To MVPJOE. Softball isn’t easy at all. Have you ever played? All I’m saying is if you have played softball like a lot of girls have, you wouldn’t think it was easy. Try it and if you still think it is easy, you haven’t played that hard. The ball is much harder to catch due to it’s size, and sure it might (but it isn’t) be easier to hit, but you cant get it very far, unless you are super strong, because it weighs more than a baseball. So just take that into consideration.
I am an ex baseball player that has turned into a big fan of women’s fast pitch softball. Hs329 was absolutely correct when she pointed out it is a much faster game than baseball. The players reaction time must be faster for batters and for fielders. I was converted years ago when I was talked into coaching a high school girls softball team. The girls are much better athletes than they were then, and the game is awesome to watch. We recently let the boys baseball team try to hit the girls pitcher (they were making the same remarks your referring to), she struck out 6 of the 7 guys that tried to hit against her. And the boys won their conference. Now they come to the girls games and root for them too.
i’ve had irregular periods before due to sports(softball and track year round) and stress from school and other things so is any of this bad?
No it isnt bad. It’s pretty normal for young girls. I was the same way, sometimes I didnt get my period up to 3 months. Just relax, it will come soon, if not you could always get on birth control to get your periods regulated.
I have good leg strength and i have "big muscles" for a girl. I can run pretty fast too. Did softball in elementary before. Not that good at soccer but willing. Please include links, sources, workouts,etc. Thank you
work out on a treadmill start 1 mile a day at your own comfortable pace then gradually work your way up to atleast 3-5 mile a day and set a goal for your self at a certain speed and time and drink lot and lot of water. good luck
for the last two years of my life i have been unable to be happy. things i liked before like playing in the snow and the sport softball have not been fun lately. i have thoughts of suicide because i am so bored and unhappy. i am taking prozac for my depression but it is not working. what should i do?
No, you have depression, but there are sooo many medications out there, you just need to find the right one for you. Talk to your doctor to see if he can prescribe something else that will help. Good luck sweetie!!
in your opinion what is the best sports movie of all time?
it can be any sport
baseball
softball
football
rugby
tennis
etc.
Rocky has to be the best of all time. Followed by Hoosiers.
k, so this girl i like named Hollie is mos def gf material for me and she tells me that she wants us to take our friendship to the next level. But out of nowhere she wants to say she wants to concentrate on her softball sport right.
So im like thats fine, so i guess were not playing the couple to be or whatever and we act like were just friends right, and she says shes totally fine with that.
So then when girls hear that im partially single again, the phone rings, mail boxes fill up and all that crap, and then hollie gets super jealous. She gets mad and tell me to stop flirting when im not even doing a damn thing askin for all of this. I really dont care about the other girls, just her, but she keeps saying that she wants to concentrate on her sport and school and not have a serious relationship.
I’m so damn confused? She wants to be friends, yet she hates when girls try to talk to me and all of that.
Am i over thinking or just missing a piece of the puzzle???
she likes u, ask her on a date.:)
woo hoo giants…and red sox!..MY FAVORITE SPORTS SOFTBALL THOUGH!
sucks..I went to The giants vs. Pirates game and Giants got beat…but it was a good game…if he didnt hit a grand slam giants woulda won..I got a foul ball too…some random guy from the pirates tossed it to me
I love the Giants because….we aren’t the Dodgers.
My best friend is a pitcher and she’s really good. I come to all of her games and she says i should try and play. What should I do???
OH MY GOSH!!! I absolutely LOVE fast pitch softball. My first year was when I was in the tenth grade, I had so much fun! I was really bad at first, but I got much better by the end of the season. I didnt get to play this year, but I will MOST DEFINITELY will be playing my senior year (next year). I think that if u play you will have alot of fun… especially if you like that sort of excitement! In this sport you need to be very aware of whats going on, and you really must be interested. Dont play just to be playing, play because you like it or you probably wont have fun with it!
Is true that they are trying to kick basketball out too?
Oddly for opposite reasons.
In Softball the USA women’s team has traditionally dominated so much that it is seen by some as grossly unfair. They have had some good games but few can consistently compete against them.
In Baseball, The USA does not send in the best team the country could field. Not to say these guys are not good, but many would like to see the professionals be given time off from their club commitments to compete in the Olympics.
Perhaps if pro baseball sponsors construction of facilities and more little league teams around the world the team sport will grow in popularity.
