Quoting Steven Desjardins <[email protected]>:

That's what we call field hockey.  At least in North America, Hockey
means ice hockey and the modifier goes with the other one.  Ah, the
wonders of cultural diversity.


Yep.

Down here, the concept of playing hockey on ice would be a mystery to most people, so 'hockey' with no modifier, is what's played on grass....



Cheers

Agreed. I kept on trying to find a connection with the theatrics and
the

Olympics.


the opening was more about Britain than about sports; that's pretty
normal

course i didn't watch much of it because by the time it was on the
tellie

it

was already stale on twitter and other sources; shame on NBC for
thinking
their whole audience is stuck in the 1980s; NBC also been ruining other

stuff

by doing cuts between commercials that leave out some of the scoring
runs

in

volleyball and basketball ? and the Tim Berners-Lee gaffe was abominable
?

and

i had to go to Youtube to find the full Sex Pistols performance

the bike race this morning was covered pretty well though


I'd be interested in who wins the gold in Hockey, but not enough to pay
attention to the games. If the USA manages to win again I'm sure it will
get mentioned on NPR.
