Bar games are not sports

>Fat, drunk Irishmen/Englishmen wandering around the olympic village among NBA players and world-class athletes, singing loudly while downing cans of beer

I would love to see that happen.

We need both this and darts in some kind of crossover competition.

Imagine PDW bantering with Ted Hankey.

If archery is there I don't see why not.

Darts is fucking crazy in the UK.

When I visited for a month that's all they talk about over there in the pubs (aside from footy, of course).

The way an American sports fan will debate Brady/Manning, they debate darts players.

Darts also has its version of full kit wankers, with people dressing like Phil Taylor, Andy Fordham, etc.

Amazing experience. 10/10.

Nice story. Complete bollocks, of course.

>The live coverage on Sky Sports Darts reached over four million viewers across the 14 days of the William Hill World Darts Championship, including a record audience of more than 1.7 million for the thrilling final between Anderson and Phil Taylor.

Only other sport that can outdraw that in the UK is soccer.

For comparison, here's the Ashes final day ratings:

>Sky Sports guards its viewing figures closely, but I have discovered that Saturday’s enthralling final day had a TV audience of 467,000.

The UK is darts mad!

What's this got to do with people apparently dressing up as darts players?

To be fair, I visited a darts centric pub. Porters Lodge.
