Sporting Humour

It maybe the words we use not something that we see, that makes it seem so strange but maybe it's just me. In cricket you have a square leg football teams have wings, with tennis a forearm is smashed and golfers play with swings. Then there's American football played with a ball out of shape, and athletes run for miles to see who can break a tape. Boxers have a ring with corners wrestlers use a hammer lock, baseball is played on a diamond and badminton with a shuttlecock. Gymnasts always act as though they are throwing some kind of fit, and motor racing drivers have to drive into a pit. Sport was for recreation supposed to be just a game, now they've become big business and they're not at all the same.
