Episode 71 - The Great Sports Debate part 2 with James Rayhill

Magnificent man James Rayhill returns to Mind Gap to chat with Doug and Justin and once again ask the great question plaguing humanity: what is a sport and how do we define it? Doug references an article stating that the International Olympics Committee has voted to recognize cheerleading as a sport. The trio discuss whether cheerleading is a sport as well as golf, bowling, NASCAR, martial arts, esports, and most winter events. Doug then posits the idea of a competition being different from a sport, although he can’t define either of them. The guys then create a new version of ice skating called Ice Death, where speed skating meets roller derby.

Things are wrapped up with a throw-down involving the newly invented Ice Death sport with teams of 3 drafted by Doug, Justin, and James.  

Doug’s picks: Fro-Zone and Dash from The Incredibles as well as Tonya Harding. James’ picks: Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat, Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno, and one of the Hanson brothers from the movie Slapshot. Justin’s picks: Bobby Orr, Elsa from Frozen, and Jesus.
