    This is one of those sports that I don’t really understand the purpose of.

    It’s got the highest boring/drama ratio outside of freestyle walking

          I think this whole issue is just set up by Big Curling to make this sport interesting.

          Oh, a curling soap? Now we need the revenge plot, the drama afterwards, the plot twist by never before mentioned characters and in the end it was all a dream.

            It would proceed with the pacing of people brushing a curling stone to its inevitable stop.

              Why is there not a camera from the top pointing down? Wouldn’t that solve any disputes?

                  Sweden knew Canada’s Marc Kennedy was a notorious cheater.

                  So they set up a camera at the ‘hog line’ to record it.

                  And caught him doing it at the Olympics.

                    Purpose? I’ve never got to play, but if there was a curling rink outside of a bar in the winter it would be tons of fun to play with friends. None near me though

                      Outside of things like running or swimming, do ANY sports have a purpose?

                          I mean they make way too much money so you could argue yes I suppose. But curling is just… Weird… Like that thing where they chase wheels of cheese down a hill makes more sense than curling.

                              It makes sense if you understand its historical context. Its a traditional winter game from the 16th century when people were bored out of their minds in the cold ass scottland winters.

                                Just make a raunchy show about the gay relationship of 2 curlers from opposing teams and suddenly women everywhere will be interested.

                                        The people in front of the stone with brooms are literally changing the trajectory of the stone without touching the stone at all. Of course a finger touch can have an effect.
