the world: sport

There's a building that my family would always drive by, but never actually visit, that said "Pool" on the front window.
As a child I didn't know any other meanings of a "pool" other than a swimming pool, so naturally, I thought it was a pool for people to swim in. Whenever we drove past it, I would ask my parents if we could go to the pool place. They always said no and told me that children weren't allowed in there. I was always confused as to why I wouldn't be allowed to swim in a pool until I was an adult. So for a long time, I assumed the reason why pool halls didn't allow children was because everyone had to go naked to swim in the pool.

I used to believe when I had 10 years that when I play soccer at the night. I would think all the players ignored the rules of the game and the referees allowed everything

I used believe that the football matches we're winning for the team that scored the last goal

When I was 5 I thought that volley ball was called bolly ball

when I was a little boy I thought i would become zidane but i was not as good as him

(The same person from the RB = root beer belief) I used to believe that the RB position in football had something to do with me, due to RB being my first and middle initials, but it was actually running back.

I thought for some reason that chewing tobacco was REQUIRED for Major League Baseball players.

When I was a kid, I thought that Sting the wrestler from WCW was a member of KISS because of the black and white face paint.

I used to believe that soccer players weren't allowed to talk among themselves during the soccer matches because the only thing that I could hear on the TV was the voice of the match's narrator :)

I used to think that football player's shoulder pads were actually their shoulders, so in order to be a pro football player, you had to be born with really huge shoulders.

When I was little, my dad would take me with him when he videotaped high school football games for the district. For some reason, I thought that football players couldn't talk. Boy was I startled when one of them came up to us and started to talk to me!

When i was a child i absolutely HATED sports and physical education. Now, my mother had told me about the Vietnam war and how there was a draft and any male over 18 could be called upon to fight and if they refused, they would be imprisoned.
So when i heard there was an NFL draft and an NBA draft, i thought it was the same idea, with the draftees selected at random amongst the general populace. I was so scared that when i turned 18, i was going to be selected and i would be forced to either play major league sports or rot in prison.

i used to think that the highest number a football player had on his jersey was how many players were on the team; i was wondering why they needed to pay so many extra players when none of them substituted in. i looked for all the numbers in between!

I thought break dancing involved actually breaking stuff!

I used to think that bowling pins were arranged in a straight line, due to the angle at which you could see them at the end of the lane.

When I was younger I used to believe that to be a football player you had to have huge shoulders. Years later I found out they had shoulder pads!
