Okay y’all, in honor of the Olympics, remind me in the morning to tell you about how my husband and I sorted all* known sports into five categories. That’s right, just five categories covers every** known sport with absolutely zero exceptions.*** * almost all ** almost every *** 0 < n < 6, probably

Let's see... "Citius, Altius, Fortius" gets you three Maybe then add in: "get a ball-like-thing into a score zone the most" and "be subjectively judged highest by obscure metrics" Likely I'm missing a bunch of sports with these, so very curious to hear yours!

"Get thing into target," "go really fast," "make the other person fall down," and "show off how strong you are" sure do cover a lot of them. (What's your fifth? I'm probably forgetting something obvious.)

It's morning! <waiting in anticipation>

I love this! Probilities/math/humor It'd be wonderful if Alexa could do this instead of its 100% play on words "humor".

Someone already reduced all ball- and ball-like-object-based sports into ‘gimme the ball it’s mine don’t touch it’ (rugby, water polo, etc) and ‘get this fucking thing away from me’ (table tennis, volleyball, etc).
