Now that the hub-hub over the Superbowl is finally fading away, we have time to turn our attention to the more important, but often sadly overlooked sports which make up the American way of life. These include activities such as eight-ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes and Foosball. What is it that makes sports such as these so superior? They are some of the only competitive athletic activities you can engage in while eating chicken wings and consuming copious quantities of alcohol. But even better than the ones listed above, darts reigns as the true king of American sports. This is the subject of my latest column at Pajamas Media.
In it we shall explore the history and origins of darts, the state of the practice today, and discuss why it is the most democratic activity you can participate in. You will learn:
1. How the original form of darts included killing people
2. That you can earn more money playing darts than a New York stock broker
3. The government, as with everything else, is trying to ruin it for us
So get out there and start throwing. And be sure to share your own thoughts and observations on this critical issue below.
