Beer Pong beats tradtional sports in survey done at Mount Royal College

the results of the survey are in. We asked mount royal students to pick there favoritive alternative sports that currently were not offered at the college. It appears that Mount Royal students may have a bit of a drinking problems because the top 3 consisted of 1.) Beer Pong, 2.) Party Club and the bronze medal Paintball. So what is it about these alchol induced activities that give it such an advantage over tradtional sports such as football and soccer. Should there be room in a college for an organized beer pong league? is it even a real sport? Poker is considered a sport and there is no physical activity involved. To me Beer Pong is more of a sport than poker because it at least involves the motion of throwing a ball. To introduce a team into the college environment however could be risky. Our group put beer pong on the list as a bit of a joke but surprisingly it came out on top. I don't think its possible to make an organized community of beer drinker within the campus, the legal issue and liabilities alone would prevent the organization from ever being created. We can dream though... we can dream....
