[As requested](https://forum.makecode.com/t/weekly-topic-forum-members-setup/20443/12) by @personalnote, I’ve decided to take one of the community’s suggestions as the weekly topic this time! Feel free to keep recommending new topics, but know I’ll only accept some of them. * * * This week’s (2023-06-11T22:00:00Z→2023-06-17T22:00:00Z) topic is 🏀 **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 😡) ---

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!! 🇨🇦 🏒 ---

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 🥲 ---
