Phys Ed: Week 4, Period 2 (Fri. 9/26)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Ronon had been watching too much TV last night while hiding hanging out in his hotel room away from all the weirdly genderswapped folks. The last thing he needed to see was McKay or Sheppard prancing about in dresses.

Which was the reasoning behind the Danger Shop looking like a large movie theater for gym class. "Today we're watching the sporting movie, Blades of Triumph. Pay attention, 'cause after the movie you're gonna do a write up to tell me how men and women dancing around on ice is a real sport. Like I hear it is - at least on Earth. Hope you brought a snack." Ronon had popcorn, but he wasn't likely to share.

Write some sort of explanation of why Blades of Triumph is lacking in fighting and yet still a sport.

Hannibal wrote an explanation detailing that it was still a sport because there were awesome falls and sometimes the partners dropped each other and then you get to watch them bitch each other out when they think the cameras aren't rolling.

Hannibal thought that was a good explanation.

Helen... totally couldn't see it, but managed to write up something about the skill required to do those things on ice.

Gwen wrote about how the fact that they where doing all of that while more or less standing on knives meant it counted as a sport.

If they had to have paperwork on a movie day, Francine was glad it was an easy one like this.

Anything where people do stuff that would make me fall down and break my butt if I tried it should be considered a sport, she wrote.

Eve managed to come up with some kind of an explanation about how it required effort to do and therefore counted.

Yeah, she didn't know, either.

Rodney totally gave up on trying to defend figure skating. Instead, he wrote about hockey.

Dick wrote three sentences.

Poker is shown on ESPN. People therefore consider poker to be a sport. If poker is a sport, then anything can be a sport.

Being an acrobat, Dick actually had real opinions on why 'acrobatics on ice with blades on your feet' should be considered a sport, but he felt this was the stronger argument for the rest of the world who didn't have a background like his.

Robin wrote a short paragraph about how figure skating required coordination, teamwork, and endurance, just like many sports.

With the toothache and everything, Turtle wasn't feeling very ambitious toward much of an answer, so she kept hers short and sweet:

"Ice skating does in fact involve physical activity and competition, but, most importantly, you can get cooperate sponsors on the professional level, therefor it is a sport.

The end."

It's not, Sokka wrote. Next, you'll try to tell me that prancing around and waving a ribbon is a sport.
