    Badminton is very much a sport actually.

    I know, I play it properly after school
    but we have 25 girls sharing one net, so we have about 2 minutes each.
    and we get yelled at if we hit slam-shots

    I hate it though,because we do yoga, badminton and grooming.

    ROTFLMAO. Sorry, I just couldn't help it.

    When I was going to school, the girls had sewing and cross-country. :eek: The boys had football (GAA) and soccer. I chose cross country but I wasn't allowed! So I picked chess, instead. In second year I became the first boy to run cross-country. I was soon joined by others. The girls that did CC were good, very good, and there were no showers in them days. Of course, those girls were slim and healthy...

    Nowadays, the girls don't want to get sweaty. It's just not cool. They'll find out what their lungs are for when they're wheezing around the place in their 30s.

    Questionable personal hygiene ethics tbh.
    Meh, it's just overtly sensitive modern perceptions of cleansiness that would class my opinion as "questionable".

    Another example of this would be the thread in AH about showering, with responses such as "Anyone who doesn't have a daily shower deserves to die a slow painful death".

    Its a commonly recognised fact of life.

    Nice. It's obvious that many of the people on this thread are guys! Not all girls are like that, in my PE class there are more guys than girls and the guys try to bunk off PE more than the girls do! Anyway, PE isn't really an option in our school. You do it, or you engage in perpetual warfare with our haridan of a PE teacher! ;)

    Oh we'll see what you end up doing later in life. Once you marry its all downhill from there. PE or no PE.

    yeh it is. It is regularly the most watched sport at the Olympics, by far the biggest tv audience, running into the hundreds of millions.

    Badminton is a great sport to watch. As for most watched even at the Olympics, beach volleyball(female) has to be up there.

    Cant say much about doing PE, only did it about 5 times sincr=e start of 5th year.

    We do PE for two classes a week first year through to sixth year. It's an all girls school and most of the class do it each week. I'm in TY and we've actually spent many Thursdays asking our Irish teacher to let us have a triple PE class in the sun rather than Pe and irish...
