Because it involves the best teams in a league that has the best players in its sport from all around the world

Toronto won two series in the early 90's as well.

Ice Dancing and figure skating involve skates and have a long history of competition and skill. Snow Boarding, biathlon, yachting, canoeing track and field are all physical sports that require years of training and physical prowess.

There's the world baseball classic which countries such as Dominican Republic, Japan and Venezuela and Cuba dominate every time.

Most countries don't play hockey.. I guess that should be removed as well.

Again, if you know nothing about sports (don't have a history playing or watching it) you really have absolutely no business discussing this.

The same should have applied to President Obama and his lack of executive experience when he ran for president.

If you know nothing about leadership (don't have a history of doing it) you have no discussing it, or running for president.

Although I do think pole dancing should be considered a sport, but made far less sexual.

It's impossible to believe that little girl is now 52. I remember that performance like it was yesterday.

I might, but I'd certainly not let my kid watch.

If it does happen, instead of medals can we expect the winners to have currency stuffed into their underwear by the judges in the front row? And will they then circulate to all members of the audience, expecting to be rewarded in a similar way as well? Will each performer first come out with a roll of paper towels and a bottle of Windex to clean the obligatory mirrors on the stage?

No.

Neither is Harrier interested in watching.

Harrier voted "no" on the poll.

I don't know why. It males a lot more sense than basketball. There is actually athletic prowess involved.

Watch these two and see if you don't believe it should rank with gymnastics. I have see a lot of floor routines that take less effort than this.
