Is foos a sport?

Yes or no??
Hmmmmm..Kind of hard to say in a neutral perspective because on occasion there is more than a certain amount of luck. The balls can come flying in any possible angle. Furthermore, you don't sweat and verbally abusive language does not get you penalised.(except for ssd, which tries to find some government policy to stop you from swearing and the similarity that the govenment and the ssd share is that:it doesn't work)

But, the main proposition i'm trying to make is that it does also involved a great amount of skill and the tricks of the trade are weighted almost like a normal sport and it has a set of fully furnished rules. Yes, you do play this game in bars, smoky pool places or even in universities but still, physical attributes don't really count unless you don't have hands or feet or your blind or something.

However, isn't sports meant to be good for the body and shit like that, i do believe the term needs to be rectified as darts and pool and archery don't involve a whole load of action.

Down here in malaysia, foosball reigns prominence, it's a way of life for some of us and there is an association for it, although regardless of that, it seems as though slotting 4 50 cent coins only seems like some sort of casual interpretation. Adversely speaking, there is a contradiction to "casual" as it does get very competitive. Frustration often seeps into the player whether its the smell of the other player or if your just not playing well.lol.

I'm just trying not to be biased.

As for my plain talking perspective, i regard foosball as one of the best games invented and it should have more tournaments and thus eventually shaping it's way into the international picture where foosball will be the worlds most popular sport behind football, ballet and skipping.

Plainly talking,
