Sports that you dont understand???

?Steering a whacking big piece of rock on ice by sweeping IS most definately a sport. It is very subtle and controlled but a piss poor spectacle.
Biathlon - guerilla training for nordics. Why?
Sychronised swimming/anything else where a judge awards points = Art
Not a sport - but does anyone understand Craps?
However.
Ski Jumping. I know there is marking but.........It's spectacular and even the women have huge cohones

Bobsleigh??!! *shakes head* Men in lycras falling down the drain
I love to watch it, but I can't see the point of the 2 in the middle.. Front one steers, and the back one just pulls the brake at the end.. What are the other 2? Proffessional ballast?
Pushers.
Rugby.
Still don't understand the rules.
Ok, understand some of the rules, like if it goes over the line at the back that's a try and then you get a chance to 'convert' it, but beyond that, I'm grassed if I know what it's all about.
Having never played it at school/uni, this puts me on a obvious backfoot. Having said that, whenever I've been at a match and asked the person sitting next to me why there's been another stoppage/penalty/etc, they normally confess to not having a clue themselves.
Makes the whole thing a bit stop & start for my liking - much prefer the flow of football.
