Sports are entirely personal.
I also think it'd fit better there than in The Lounge.

A majority of these threads, even if not entirely about being a fan, seem pretty personal to me.

Sports are entirely personal imho. I also think it'd fit better there than in The Lounge of all places.

We have to use the second definition given. Under the first definition almost anything would be considered personal. Did you create some graphic art? Better move all the graphic sections to the personal section.

Now look at the Sports World section. It's all about the professional world. So unless we have some HF members who are in the NBA, NFL, etc. who want to talk about their personal sports related struggles, there's nothing personal about that section.

If you want to talk about how you're performing in sports / how to get better, then that belongs in health wise, but that's the only case I see where sports could be considered personal.

Quote:My point still stands imo, this is merely a suggestion. I think it'd make more sense under Personal Life to talk about your favorite team, who you think will win the championship, and what kind of stretches are good for playing basketball, etc. The Lounge is a worthy overarching forum too, but that would mean Pet Peeve should go there too, Vices as well. Personal Life exists for a reason, thus Sports World should be relocated.

Of course, if you just ignore any argument against you, you will believe that yours still stands.



Personal and professional are opposites. I've proven that the Sports World is a subforum dedicated to professional sports. I think it's obvious that the personal section is dedicated to personal things. Therefore, the Sports World subforum does not belong in the Personal Life forum.

The Lounge just seems like the better place since sports are were people chill out and watch you know?

Based on this thread, the Sports World section is no way personal, and some topics that would be posted in there should be posted in other sections.

Quote:Where does it at all say "Professional?" Anywhere. Please show me. The very information on the subforum is "For sports discussions like football, basketball, MMA, baseball, and hockey we have this forum just for you. Please keep all sports topics here." Are discussions not inherently personal?

Why not move the SRPP to 'Personal Life' after all, people are expressing their PERSONAL views on things.

Why not move the Anime section to 'Personal Life' after all, people are expressing their PERSONAL views on anime.

Why not move the Music section to 'Personal Life' after all, people are expressing their PERSONAL views on music.

If we did as you suggest, we'd lose a huge number of vast subforums, and for what? Because there's a personal aspect to something? Guess what. Every poster here except for maybe Motherlode and Vitani is a person, and their posts are going to be personal, but just because that's the case doesn't mean that their posts belong in the personal life section.

Yes. They are inherently personal, hence the need to either:

1) Restrict the definition of personal
2) Move every discussion to the personal life forum.

How about you junk this thread if you have a modicum of respect for yourself.
