Try playing a game. Throw 20 rocks and sweep 60 more. Then play another game in the same day. Obviously it's not as physical as hockey or football, but you'd be surprised at how much effort is required and fitness it takes to be good at it. Or you could continue to throw out badly inaccurate statements.

You could say the same about golf. It takes skill. There is an athletic component.
I have curled. I have golfed. To compare it to pro team sports is apples and oranges.
