      It's funny because I'm sure it only existed so the networks could have more NBA stars.

      We lost to Holland, the tallest country on Earth. So basically we lost because we eat sh-tty processed food.

          Is this a summer sport? If so it's one Dutch team I'll be watching.

                Too bad if you've ever watched field hockey, it's probably one of the dumbest sports ever. Even more than soccer, the goal isn't really to score in the run of play but to get into the penalty area and then draw a foul. I'm also convinced that there's a rule where if the whistle hasn't blown in 30 seconds, the ref is required to blow it just because.

                  Did you say something about rules and run of play?

                    Field hockey is definitely a sport that is screwed up because of terrible rules* and even worse equipment.

                    You could do a lot with that sport and make it really cool, with just a few changes.

                    But as it stands it's the only team sport for straight women, so leave it alone.


                    * The worst case: basketball. Basketball needs a goalie, a single point for all baskets, foul outs without shooting, two 10-minute halves, and zero timeouts. If basketball games came down to say 6-5 they would be thrilling.

                        That's his job. He can do anything.

                          I'll give you gaoltending but then we need to make it multiple baskets that they would need to defend and also 4/5/6/etc point lines too.

                            Congratulations upon successful completion of your field hockey on-field officials exam.

                            The IOC will be contacting you about your officiating schedule at the Olympics via separate correspondence.

                            Thank you, and again, congratulations.

                              I'd give them one per game.
