Strange take by Simmons.
EVERY sport is a "made up" sport. Just because it's new, doesn't make it illegitimate.
The fact Lawes and Morris didn't play together previously is a pretty simple one...they dont play together. Just like the hockey team, NHL or not, doesn't play together before playing together.
If I jumped on a luge tomorrow and it just happened i had some weird god given ability, so i tried out and qualified for my national team...does that mean i shouldn't be allowed to participate?
Or better yet, if I submitted an opinion piece to the Toronto Sun and they decided to publish it, should it be prevented because I hadn't done so before? I mean, I amde it up and Steve writes in the World Cup of opinion pieces every year, so assuredly something I do shouldn't be permitted and be calssified as a "sham".....amirite?
