  1. Don't mean to tread on any toes, but there's no way that I'd buy Apple. No way. It'snot even the fact that you can get the same technology for cheaper - it's that they deliberately design their devices so that a) they can't work with other stuff, and b) They have a track record of designing an item so that doesn't even work in a year's time when they bring the newer model out.
  2. I can't speak for Tiger Woods, or even professional golf, but I can tell you that I trained at a gym with athletes from another sport. Everyone who was a professional was on PEDs. It was an open secret. As far as him not bulking up or having injuries... not all PEDs do the same. In fact, depending on what injuries he had, it might point to the positive use of PEDs. (For instance, it's amazing how many athletes tear their ACL compared to the general population - it's a very strong ligament usually. Certain PEDs upset the natural muscle strength to ligament strength though, hence pro wrestlers and football players mysteriously have weak ACLS.) Or, ever wondered how Olympians seem to be diabetic at a higher rate than the normal populace? (Insulin grows muscle.) I'm not saying one way or another, but professional athletes should be viewed with extreme scepticism.
  3. FIFA is basically the proverb, "Power Corrupts, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" made into a real life organisation.
  4. Ronda Rousey might be the most dominant athlete in her sport... but we'll never know because of a lack of competition. I'm sure in terms of legacy what she's aiming for is to be considered that big, "What if?" Greatest-of-all-time style. Fedor has done it for men's MMA; He created such an aura whilst he competed, that even after he's retired, people will say, "Yeah, but could X have beaten Fedor in his prime?" Of course, that's still a world away from the Karelin's, Armstrong's and Woods' of the world.
  5. It depends. Do you consider yoga a sport? I mean, firstly - most sports are assessed on a competitive basis; points being awarded for individual (or group) feats. Look at the physical 'strengths' of women - flexibility, pain endurance (no joke), adaptability. That'd lend them to being equal to or better at gymnastics. That said, even gymnastics is scored on a feat basis - men are better at sport gymnastics as it stands. So, my guess is yoga. It's pure flexibility. That and contortionism. Neither of those are considered sports at the moment though.
