Tights aren’t pants.

I’m talking off the rack at Lowes type pants.

And yet presumably ping-pong passes muster.

Pingpong is brilliant. It’s like tennis (hand eye co-ordination), chess (strategic) and magic (sleight of hand) combined into one activity.
On the other hand synchronised swimming should be against the law.

I hate table tennis.

Well not really, but the difference between being sufficiently ok at sport to look like you can play, vs not being able to get the ball on the table when playing someone who knows how to play table tennis causes me great pain every time.

Players that can put a lot of spin on the ball and have sleight of hand(wrist) skills are impossible to play against, unless you’ve trained for years. They pisss me off too. In tennis you know what kind of spin is on the ball and you have time to adjust. Table-tennis points are won and lost due to your reaction in microseconds and miss-hitting by millimetres.

All sports would be improved if they went back to wearing what the ancient Greeks wore.

And of course, the word ‘gymnasium’ is derived from the Greek word for naked.
