De Ludo

It's commentary like the following which make me glad to be alive.
“Lucky shot,” Pirie said modestly as Harness congratulated her. Exchanges like this are one of the reasons curling is so appealing to many, including Shane Lynch, Lacey Lynch’s husband and a University of Washington music doctorate student. “It’s a very anti-American activity,” Shane Lynch said. Not in the way attacking an embassy is an anti-American activity, but in the way curling is the antithesis of me-first American sports. “Terrell Owens probably wouldn’t make it as curler,” Shane Lynch said. While American sports like the NFL pay lip service to sportsmanship only to have their game regularly overshadowed by prima donna players such as Owens, curling has intertwined sportsmanship into its game.
If anyone can find links to video of people playing curling, could you leave them in the comments? Thanks.
