    I spent about 5 minutes watching Formula One tonight and came to the conclusion that it must be one of the dumbest sports on the planet. In fact, everyone I know who likes formula one is lacking in some vital brain cells.

    I believe this to be true with a lot of sports. Take American Football for example. Another mind numbing game and the national sport of America. Need I say more?

    Aussie rules is another. Not the sharpest sport for not the sharpest people.

    I could go on and on but I won't. Just a random thought for a Sunday night. Oh look, a driver has taken over another car....oh wait, he hasn't....thrilling!

    I don't like any sport. Well, except lesbian nude oil wrestling, obviously.

    You clearly don't understand any of those sports.

    May I suggest that you watch 'Senna' and then comment

    Formula 1 is without doubt the smartest sport in the world. The people running the teams are scientific geniuses. The drivers, must think instantly or they are in the wall. The whole sport is a science. Remember that guy you went to school with that was amazing at maths? He is the type of person in Formula 1.



    Also American football is the physical version of chess. One wrong move and you have lost. Its for tactical geniuses.

    All sports are boring as far as I'm concerned. Or rather watching them is boring. I don't see the point in sitting around watching other people play a game or run around or whatever. I don't see how watching someone kick a ball into a net is any more exciting than watching a car overtake another car.

    Soccer is not intelligent. In fact it's one of the stupidest sports.

    I wonder what Judo & Brazilian Jui Jitsu say about my intellect, or lack of.

    It might be said by some that I've been tapped out, choked out and thrown about so much that I've no intellect left.

    Watch Barcelona in action. The vision and technique players like Xavi, Iniesta and Messi have is unbelievable.
