We done this before?

Cheating, kicking, stomping, punching, brawling, fighting, maiming, dick shots, its all gone on. But which displays of ungentlemanly behavior are the most despicable, the most egregious and the most disgraceful oat?

Rules:

All professional sports/games (including motorsport, chess, and even golf) are eligible

Someone actively involved in the sporting contest must be an aggressor for the pick to be valid (be it coach, player, physio, whatever). Two sets of african football fans killing each other in the stands dont count. Monica Seles getting stabbed dont count.

It's gotta be either during a sporting contest, or immediately preceding/following. Nancy Kerrigan getting got dont count. OJ shooting those people to death dont count.

I can see you WWE lads thinking oh boy im gonna take ric flair using knuckle dusters to take the title from jim bob spandex in their 1984 matchup at the texas dome and it'll melt faces, butnahhh. Wrestling happenings are BANNED

in, why not

why, why, why?

OJ didn't shoot anyone dude.

What happens if the conduct was very egregiously violent but due to circumstances/the person involved, is generally accepted by fans as being ****ing awesome and hilarious? (you can probably figure out what i'm thinking of). Is that a high pick due to the famousness/violence or a low pick because no one really thinks less of [person x] for doing it?

In

OUT but in for the spectatating

up to the picker to justify their pick, they can use whatever criteria they like

maybe someone thinks that cowardly act A is more ungentlemanly than violent act B, it is up to them to make a persuasive case

I am intrigued. I have never participated in a draft here but I am a big fan of ungentlemanly behavior and anti-gentlemen in general. How does it work?

lets say there's 10 p0sters participating, we randomise a list of the 10, whoever comes out at the top of the list gets to pick any ungentlemanly sporting act in history. then #2 on the list gets to pick any act except for the thing that #1 took, and so on. standard snake draft rules, so #10 gets to pick first in round 2.

after a few rounds of picking, each participant has their own collection of bad behavior. and we congratulate those who picked wisely and laugh at those who picked poorly

ok, in, I have a pretty good handle on what my #1 pick would be and that's all that matters

Sounds good, in. I think I know the #1.

Il be in and offer to co-own if someone wants to that is on USA#1 time instead of Australia time

I'm in, but would like to know if Candyland counts as a sport for the purposes of this game.

ashley, let's co-own, lets us both not worry about the thread as much

dunno what candyland is therefore yes it counts

7 in so far, ill rand tomorrow when i get home. aiming for 60ish picks total so number of rounds will depend on how many participants we get. 15 = limit, plenty of spaces available

You got it

In
Also have a clear #1
Looking forward to the writeups

I'm in

not in, but very interested to see what people pick

In, availability may be hit and miss the next couple of days as I come back from vacation though.

I have a pretty clear top 2.

okay cool, sounds fun. i would play if you need the numbers but i'll be away from thursday and i assume this goes on a bit.

are doping related offences excluded? i assume yes but someone could make a nitty technical argument for it so worth clarifying.

In

just in case anyone had the same thought i did, that soccer incident in brazil where the ref stabbed a player on the field (who died from the injury), and was subsequently quartered and beheaded by the fans was an amateur match
