<<So we have six questions. I'd argue, furthermore, that the pickleball TU is only dubiously a sports question, that the SI Swimsuit Issue and fictional sports ones are not sports questions at all, and that the baseball player question was bonus #19, effectively removing it from the pack. This leaves two unimpeachable sports questions -- which I must admit doesn't seem to be within guidelines to me. But I'm not trying to take sides here, if the matter were even worth the making of sides -- simply presenting the evidence and hoping everyone just lets it go.>> I speak here as someone who over the course of the last year has had to sit through many a question on NHL, NBA, MLB, and all those other pillars of the American sports stage. I don't know anything about these organizations, nor do I care to. I, for one, like the idea of expanding the canon, both in academic and in trash terms. Perhaps I'm bitter because my kind of knowledge is not generally rewarded by trash questions (sci-fi, Monty Python, soccer, Dungeons and Dragons) but I think trash being what it is, any question that has anything to do with sports should have the right to be a sports question. This isn't a strict academic distribution we're talking about. Anything in trash is fair game; I think it's good for all the sports fanatics to get a taste of their own medicine once in a while.
