Yes the simple little hand game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is now a fucking sport. To me this is very stupid. This is a hand game that most of us remember from being little kids and having to decide something between us. It is a SIMPLE game that anyone in tha fuckin world can do, and now they call it a sport. They even have tournaments and ‘players’ win trips. A 8 year old kid could do this with no problem, A 70 year old man could do this with no problem, damn near anyone can do this game. This is not a sport in my opinion. Sports are physcal and mental, not hand games. Basketball, Football, Baseball, MMA, Hockey-Those are SPORTS. But stupid things like Rock, Paper, Scissors and Chessboxing are NOT sports. Next thing might just be professional Tic Tac Toe!! Or Thumb Wrestling! Or Peeknuckles! Or how about professional staring competitions all over the world! I mean, if Rock, Paper, Scissors is now considered a damn sport, why not any of those. They are just as easy and just as stupid. It seems people will do damn near anything just for money and fame. I guess if I copyright Tic Tac Toe and create a national competition with prizes and trips eveyone will consider it a sport. This is honestly pathetic..
For anyone reading that does not know what Rock, Paper, Scissors is, or how to play; 2 people play each using 1 hand. At the count of 3, or saying Rock-Paper-Scissors, each puts out either “Rock” “Paper” or “Scissors” Rock is a solid fist, Paper is a flat hand, and Scissors is 2 fingers out like a peace sign. Rock crushes Scissors, Paper covers Rock, and Scissors cut Paper. And if each person puts out tha same thing, it is a draw. Thats it, no more to learn. Theres not that much fucking training or strategy to this little kids game. I remember back in 3rd and 4th grade playing this at fuckin recess time. This is very stupid and who every considers this a sport is not that bright. It is a hand game that anybody can do. An illiterate person, blind, deaf, skinny, fat, white, black, young, old..Anyone. As long as they understand how to throw out a Rock, a Paper, and a Scissor and they know what beats what, they can play and they can win. This is a game of chance or luck, not a game of strategy and mental games. You can stare at your opponent with a mean look, you can make jokes, make threats, or whatever, but no matter what it is still Rock, Paper, Scissors. Nothing more. Its not a complictated game.
This guy who is considered a RPS Player has this to say about RPS:
“I try to read my opponent’s thoughts before my opponent even has them”
For real? Yea I guess you may be able to tell just a little bit what they might do, but theres only 3 options so you can take your chances at it.
“Certainly being physically fit makes a big difference. I am very serious about my physical training for Rock Paper Scissors,”
What tha fuck?? Being physically fit for a RPS game? You only use your damn hands and your brain to think. You don’t have to be able to run one mile in under 4 minutes, or bench press 300, or do 100 push ups, or anything like that. You have to be able to thorw out a Rock sign, Paper sign, and Scissors sign. But this dude trains and stays fit for tha game. He is taking it a little bit to serious.
Oh and he says he takes a JEDI approach to Rock, Papper, Scissors. Wow..
And another guy who has been interviewed about RPS had this to say;
“Part of me thinks it’s chance”
At least he has some common sense and realizes that it is not a mental strategy and physical training game. Its luck, chance, and common sense..
This is tha 3rd year for tha National Vegas competition. 3rd Year? And it will telecasted in fall on FSN. Why? It is not a sport, its a hand game!?
‘300 RPS athletes competing for $50,000 and a trip to the Olympics in Beijing.’
ATHLETES??? No. There is no training, no strategy, no physical part of this at all, they are NOT athletes. They are simply playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, nothing more. And tha winner gets $50,000 and a trip to tha fuckin Olymipics in Beijing!! Thats insane. $50,000 handed to them for playing a stupid fuckin game and doing nothing for tha world around them. Just for playing a childs game. And they get to go to tha Olympics?? That is even more insane. RPS is not and should never become a sport in tha Olympics.
“There are competitors from the Northeast that are coming up with a certain urban quality to their play that is … ‘frightening’ — is the word I would use,” tha commissioner said. Seriously? Frightening? Its a little kids hand game that any moron can do. I guess just like in music or anything else every area whats their spot on tha map! And they are going to come up with their own unique play styles, attitudes, and outfits! Thats all fuckin pathetic and a waste of good time. This is once again a hand game. Not a sport game, not a contest, or competition of talent. Its a simple little game that anyone can do and anyone can win.
