Yay, double letters!

May 21st, 2007 Posted in LOL!, Random, Sports, WTF?, Weird, Words

Okay, I know this is just about the most random and stupid thing I could post, but hey, it’s 3 am and I’m having trouble sleeping, and this popped into my head.

Has anyone else ever noticed that most sports have a set of double letters? Here’s evidence:

  • soccer
  • baseball (Or any ____ball sport)
  • tennis
  • running
  • lacrosse
  • jogging
  • skiing
  • sledding

Football wins, though. Two sets of double letters! It’s obviously an overachiever.

Okay, so there are a few that don’t have them, but I found this fascinating anyway.

Yes, I’m this weird when I’m tired. Yay, tired!

    Yes but what about cricket & Rugby. Is this why they aren’t so overachiving? Or what about the NCAA for college sports.

    I’m going to bring you back to your roots on this one. MHSAA. What does this say about Michigan High School Sports? Not as overachiving as HHSAA. We all new that Hawaii was special. But overchiviers too? OMG.

    OMG. I forgot about Hockey too. Maybe they should change the name to Hoockey and get with the trend.
