    No, we can't even handle the fora we have already

    So will the moderation do any better at enforcing the scientific or academic aspects of a Sports subforum than they have Politics or Religion?

    There's all sorts of sports-related science and academia: sports history, sports medicine, the mathematics of gambling, &c. Just like there's plenty of political and religious academia.

    But we don't try to support those academic aspects. Politics is mostly a forum for partisan bitching, and it turns out that one of the reasons religion is mostly a form for proselytization is that some prominent authority figures here don't take religion seriously at all.

    Given the history of these sorts of fora, I'd suggest that a Sports subforum is doomed to shit before it ever gets off the ground.

    Let's say there are 100 votes for and 101 against, it still means that there is DEMAND for it...

    I bet it would create more traffic than the Formal Debates forum!

    And, I'm sure, there are plenty of academic studies of Parpsychology and Science Fiction. Perhaps "The Physics of the Buffyverse" counts?

    How about a Math forum that is separate from the Physics forum?

    And combining World Events & Politics, there appears to be virtually no difference.

    I think it's downright embarrassing that there's no sports subforum on a supposed science forum.

    I voted for yes! I love football and recently I also like chess. Can we consider chess as
    sport, too? lol. Alternatively it could be in the games subforum if there will be one.
