> It is one the most geek friendly sports,

Soccer is _the_ jock sport in Europe.

Ultimate Frisbee is geek friendly even here, though.




huh? I am european, and everybody plays soccer back home. I mean everybody (girls a little less, but usually at the beach). I hope you don't think everybody is a jock.

Are you FAT, you would be a great for a golie (if playing small goals). Are you tough, but kinda slow, play defenese. Do you have great endurance, then midefield, are you good at sprinting and shooting, then offense.

In soccer there is a place for everybody, as long as you can run some.

Ah, probably ultimate frisby is a very geeky sport, in kinda lame way. It is a very demasculating sport.


I am from Europe, too.

Ultimate did not feel demasculating the last time I played. It is a very competitive sport but in terms of physical aggression is almost the opposite of soccer. You have to run a lot, too.

As soon as I am back home I'll go back to juggling, unicycling, lock picking and walking on a slackline. The real geek sports.

Yeah, it's strange. I convinced a friend who was visiting from Holland for a semester to play on a team with me, but he said he'd never do that at home.
