Bullriding and NASCAR were also mentioned in that piece for similar reasons.

A good friend of mine plays ice hockey and sometimes gets in a bit of a brawl, but it is a sport only marginally more popular than Quidditch here and most of the brawls are consensual (as in, it only escalates if both parties want to escalate).

God, fucking NASCAR.

"Let's take an 8 liter V8 and then give it stenosis so people can't kill each other."

"Then let's make them go around and around in a goddamn circle for two hours and bump into each other."

Fucking NASCAR. I mean, Formula 1 is stupid. But nothing is as NASCAR stupid as NASCAR.

My image of NASCAR is that it's a loud epicenter of Redneckistan and beer. Kinda makes me want to go there just to see how dumb it is.

I have been drawn to all sorts of ridiculousness but never in my life have I wanted to watch NASCAR.
