SPORTS ON HORIZONTAL FIELDS ARE LAME
06.15.07A couple of nice finds from Dave's Football Blog, which has uncovered the disturbing trend of sports being played on vertical fields (soccer above, rugby after the jump).
And I say about fucking time. For too long man has been restricted to playing sports parallel to the earth. Bowling, for one, would be vastly improved if participants hurled balls upwards towards the pins, then were forced to catch the ball on its way back down. And if anyone were to catch the ball with his groin… all the better.

Well, those are both very awesome, but who the hell won?
About 10 frames of vertical

The only way I'm watching this shit is if they cut the Bungee cords of the losing team.
Spiderman's agent approves.
I was there for the filming of the rugby one- suspended high over the river Liffey. Since it was rugby, however, and since I'm a proud American, I actually had no idea that the game is traditionally played on a horizontal plane. Shame, for a while there I almost had respect for a sport outside the US.
"Horizontal plane." Good one, Zac. I don't think Ufford meant "parallel to the earth," although that's usually how I, personally, do my best work.
Call me when they do this with lawn darts.
I was waiting for Yao Ming and Yi Jianlin to jump out there and shoot some hoops.
Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these!

That's precisely what I meant, Andrew. My modifier is correctly placed: "parallel to the earth" is closest to "playing sports," not "man," thus it describes the manner in which the sports are played, not the people playing them.
In the month of June, at least six people have found Dave's Football Blog by searching for the term "dogfuckers."
Thanks, Google!

Combine this with HobOlympics, and I'm in…
