Sports (including golf and tennis, not sure if they've been mentioned) aren't for everyone. But for those who like it, it is a good way to have fun at least.

I find that sports don't interest me. Sports that you can do without actually playing a sport (like swimming (or maybe just swimming)) do. Competition=feelings=people getting angry=people getting stupid=not fun. Though I do find tennis to be okay.

On watching, I just don't see the point of watching sport more than once? It's just the same thing over and over with little to no variation which bores me.

That may be true of, say, bowling. Or poker, if that's a sport. But I like watching because I can follow the team, see how they respond to different adversities from opponents. (Blowout games usually aren't that fun to watch unless you're the winning team. ;D) But if it's two, evenly matched opponents, it's exciting, to me. :)

Does anyone here play golf? I have a friend who plays it and many times I have no idea what they're talking about.

I play disc golf. It's similar to golf.
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

Heyy, Vilu! Nice of you to pop in.

Welcome back, even if it was only for afew days. So, do you know what a taco is in golf? (Not sure if that's how you spell it)

Clearly it must be the cougar. It's the biggest member of family felinae. That means it can maul you and purr at the same time. None of these other cats can do that so well.

Clearly a mix between the King of Beasts and a tiger is the best.

Neither lions nor tigers can purr at all. That automatically gives cougars a huge advantage over them.

Also, tigers are an endangered species, and lions are considered "vulnerable", whereas cougars are of "least concern". So clearly cougars, as a species, are more successful than either lions or tigers. I think that factor should certainly be accounted for when someone decides which cat to vote for.

There's a simple explanation for that. In North America poachers are controlled and legal hunting is limited. Tigers and Lions don't have the same level of protection in India and Africa.

Cougars, definitely, because there's an endangered sort that lives in my area. I've never seen one, but I've heard the, and one time, saw a footprint. It was about the size of my hand now. Maybe a little bigger.

Cougars may be better protected and more numerous, but they've still experienced major range reductions.
