DE: Score!

[yakalskovich]

 Yay, Iceland played one-one last night, but the commentator here on German TV acted as if it was nothing short of a miracle that they knew which direction was forwards, to say nothing of the excellence of their shieldwall and goalie.  Looking forward to their next matches!

Anyway, DE. After supporting team sports yesterday -- what kind of sports would your characters play, and how good would they be at them?

but was the German commentator as excited as this guy?

I...kind of went ahead and answered this yesterday, huh.

[yakalskovich]

I hadn't seen that yet -- the German commentator was more like 'Oops, what happened? How did this happen? Why is this possible?'

Sorry! And here I was, trying to think up a nice two-parter.

Ellen's not likely to ever be good at actual hockey, but hockey fights, probably she'd be good at. She's also played baseball and is decent at it although Vault baseball doesn't reward home runs so much and has extremely localized versions of things like the infield fly rule (they involve balls hitting the ceiling, the Overseer's window, etc.)

Shephard has played rugby in the past and has been working with some of the Mexican and Central American guys he knows to revive something not unlike the Great Ball Game, only without the blood sacrifices. If anyone ever tells him about Mayan fire hockey he will learn to speak as much of the Mayan language as any survivors can teach him if that will get him the chance to HIT FLAMING THIngS ThROUGH GOALS WITH STICKS.

Santo is a professional wrestler. I believe that counts.

Quicksilver has absolutely no patience for team sports, but in the pre-Logan-time-travel version of the movie X-men universe, he entered a track meet in 1977 and shattered eight world records. At which point sports organizations and the government partnered up with Trask Industries to ban athletes with the mutant X-gene from ever competing in professional sports, regardless of what their actual power was.

My Seimei headvoice says he would do professional wrestling. I am not sure whether he's kidding or not, but I think he would enjoy the performance aspect of it. It's also more of a collaborative/team sport than you would think, since the opponents have to work off each other to put on a good match. It's like improv, with live stunt work.

YT argues that her life is an extreme sport, dude. Since her job is all about riding a skateboard in traffic, it's hard to argue with her.

Cyborg wishes he could still play sports. He was pretty good at football in the day.

Knox is a surprisingly good first baseman in beer league softball.

Kirk still tries to run the marathon from time to time.

My other pups are not into sports, though you could argue that Charlie, being a martial artist, is doing sports without calling it such.

The Tracksuit Draculas would make a grrrreat Thursday Next style croquet team.

Stiles plays lacrosse. He is good enough to sit on the varsity bench, good enough to play varsity if enough players get sick/attacked by werewolves. He also runs cross country because Coach makes them. He does not enjoy it.

If there was like... Formula 1? But with planes? Carol should totally do that. She could probably make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, too.

Mary. Eventing. EXCELLENT.

May probably does yoga, but that is one of the least Toby 'sport' options out there.
