Goofy, sure. But I appreciate the precision of the sport. I try to catch a round or two when I watch the Olympics.

Now you've gone an offended the Canadian CP reader(s). It's kind of like shuffleboard on ice.
They said I could be anything, so I became a disappointment.

Whenever people make fun of me for following eSports, I point to curling.
Thank you curling.

Curling is just a slidier version of bowls.

It's a fine sport but it lacks brooms.
