Curling is awesome. They have a local club around DC that I'd like to go and try at some point.

I was just talking to my coworkers today about the Winter Olympics, and it felt like as soon as curling came up they were dismissing it as something that shouldn't be an Olympic sport. I hate that. Like just because it's not popular here doesn't mean there aren't people somewhere else in the world that cherish it like we cherish football, or nascar, etc.

Well is it really on the NASCAR or football level in any country? I went to the Caribbean and talk to the Europeans about sports, it's soccer that seems to have the most passion.

No but I'm sure it's got fans that are passionate about it, that see as something more than a sport that happens every 4 years when the Winter Olympics get together.

Better curling than f***ing ballroom dancing and other idiocy in the summer.

It is a niche sport here but it is big in Canada. The best even have groupies that follow them around.
