All sports are ... whether tactical or strategical ...
... think about a game like squash where you as a player have to be in your opponent's head the whole time, trying to outsmart and trick them.
And then, even though I don't like referring to it as a sport, look at chess ... where you're doing the same thing.

I wouldn't get in too much of a knot about it. A quick look at the admin and member list will tell you that:
1. It was created by a pseudo-intellectual young ****** who's yet to graduate from the London School of Economics and Political Science and is no doubt madly trying to demonstrate to some girl he wants to bonk how devil-may-care controversial, counter-cultural and edgy he is.
2. It's membership is 99% Indian with a smattering of Jaapies and Pommies (all countries that have elevated whinging to an artform and are sick of being whipped by Aussie cricketers).
3. It's contributors (even the naysayers) obviously have waaayyy too much time on their hands and love nothing better than indulging in argument for argument's sake (i.e. a lot of heat, very little light - Roebuck's in training).
4. All of them obviously have no memory (or most likely no knowledge) of the woeful umpiring visiting Aussie teams have had to endure on previous sub-continent tours (where obviously there is no such thing as an LBW decision against the home side).
In short, a bunch of tools all pulling each others' dicks and not worthy of serious consideration.
Next?

I dont understand them. So many actors have died from overdoses yet they stupidly continue to do that crap.
I hope his ex Michelle does well with his daughter because most of the children from parents which died from drug overdoses go a bit loopy

Actors are just people, many of whom continue to do drugs (and smoke, and drink to excess, etc, etc) despite all of us knowing it can kill you. The only difference between him and some junkie who dies anonymously leaving a trail of **** behind them is that he's famous, so the journos find it 'newsworthy'.

Yea I know they are just people, they have a lot at stake, their careers and their families (just like everyone else). Why throw it all away? I dont get it. I really dont get what people continue to do things which are bad for them like you said, drugs, smoke, drink, even junk food. Value for life obviously not high enough.

It's just weakness. People with addictions are weak.
PC do-gooders might like to dress it up as a medical condition and treat them all as patients or victims but at bottom it's just weakness, especially when you've got responsibilities like a young child.
