Basketball is my favorite sport.
I like the way they dribble up and down the court...

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Why do toddlers make such great baskeballers?
They're always dribbling.

I've never been able to follow it. Don't know why. It just never interests me.

I like to watch baseball, American football and golf, the latter because I have had some of the best naps in a long life on the couch watching a golf tournament.

I'm not much of a sports fan, but when I can be bothered, I follow the NFL (Packers), the NBA (Spurs) and Argentina's soccer/football tournament (Quilmes Atletico Club), along with the British FA (Manchester United).

I however follow the Olympics for the Argentine basketball team. Unlike our highly-publicited, fizzle-out-every-World-Cup soccer team, they put their hearts in every game.

Olympics are nice, though I usually just watch the opening and closing ceremonies.

I like the Olympics but not my cup of tea. I don't like sports, but since they have now let women in, I hope they go back to doing it in the nude!
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

I'm with the Packers, the Steelers in a lesser measure, and the Vikings.

I enjoy watching the olympics, but especially the swimming events. Possibly this is because I was a swimmer, and I like seeing how incomprehensibly good the swimmers there are.
