This week’s (2023-06-11T22:00:00Z2023-06-17T22:00:00Z) topic is

:basketball: Name your favorite sports and activities!

Everybody likes to be active… right? So name your favorite sports, whether it’s to practice or watch them, what kind of sport pumps you up?

I personally do swimming (8 years so far), but I also love skiing and I like watching and playing football (soccer for the 'Muricans :rage:)

Cross country / Track is my #1 favorite, and I’m pretty good at it!
Although I love basketball as a game, my mom is amazing at it and destroys me, plus I don’t have depth perception so shooting is much harder : (
Biking and Swimming are great, but I only do them for fun and not as a competition : )
Hockey is my favorite to watch though!! :canada: :ice_hockey:

Hey, thanks man!

So I love to watch and play football (soccer for Americans) and started “getting good” about 10 months ago. I also love playing and watching Table Tennis, Badminton, and Volleyball. I’ve also gone skiing before (just once though)

I can’t swim :smiling_face_with_tear:

OOF : ( I can’t image not being able to just… sit at the bottom of a deep 12ft pool or ocean and look up (Its so fun, just hold your nose so you dont inhale the water)

Basketball, hands down. And 'Murican football is also pretty fun to watch. (credit to @ArcherBright123, I’ve seen some highlights of footy, specifically the AFL. And it looks pretty fun.)
