Why do you americans call the sport ”Football” when the players use their hands? And why do you call it soccer when the players use their feet?

Good for them......but how can it be called the World series when other major baseball nations like Cuba, Japan, Mexico, Dominican Republic, China, Taiwan are not invited......I know...I know...those players are already participating....but they play for American teams though.

Imagine if the Olympic Games were run that way...i.e. all the best athletes in the world...don't represent their own country...they just represent whomever is paying their salary......David Beckham plays football in Spain...but he does not represent Spain in the "The World Cup" of soccer....he represents his own country...the UK. In football...the World Cup...really is...the World Cup....but in baseball...the World Series is really just "The American/Canadian series"

..but I am getting off topic

The weird thing is....everybody in this thread keeps referring to a "dive"...and even the Nabisco website called it a "dive" as well.....NOT TRUE

I have about 10 years of these scenes on tape....dating back to the early days when Dinah Shore used to do this as well...

...and I can tell you....NOBODY in all these years has EVER "dived" into the lake.

It's a JUMP....a LEAP...a PLUNGE....

I am always amused at the way some sporting events are described....

e.g. Major League Baseball calls their championships "The World Series".....but nobody else in the world is allowed to particpate except the USA....ha ha

Also...as a resident of the USA...I have a "green card"....guess what...it is not green...it is white and blue.

Perhaps you already know it. But on Kraft Nabisco homepage there is a small video clip from the dive

http://www.kncgolf.com/homepage.htm?reload (go to “History – “Ladies of the Lake”)

Or use the direct link:

the Kraft nabisco open is at the end of the month.

I wonder if the game can be fixed so grace park can win again or if

Kristy Kerr wins it would be nice to see her to take the dive in champions lake.
