  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

You had me until cycling. Which would clearly be "ball-less tech polo" or something like that ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป

We sometimes call bicycles "wire donkeys"

Only in the US, though. It's yet another of their silly regionalisms that confuses everyone.

Cars are horseless carriages. Does that mean they are more or less likely to fall into the football category?

Those are wheelies in America

Counterargument. I've never seen cycling done on horseback. Therfore it is football.

Unless we classify a bike as a mechanical horse. Then we have mountain horsing, road horsing. Trick horsing. And all the velodrome horsing events.

I've never seen it done on foot or with a ball either, though.

Two-wheel chasies?

Or as a compromise, Wheelhorsing around?

There are not many sports left to invent.

Bike Football

Horse Rugby (as seen in rambo)
