Perhaps you should make a poll in the pub and with enough response, perhaps it will make a stronger persuasion for your case.
GOodLUCK!
That's been done before too - the poll I mean.
I can't help but feel there's some admin bias against a sports forum or something.

Are any admins even going to respond to this request? 
That would be much appreciated!

It's true, I have absolutely no love for sports, unless I'm playing them myself, on a sunny day with the scent of freshly cut grass in the air. 
In fact, I don't think any of the admins are really involved with watching sports or participating in fantasy leagues - so that's probably why when this idea is suggested, we get the idea "hrmm.. well I don't really know anything about sports, I'll just let someone else field this one who does!" Of course, when none of us have much of an interest in it, you can see how our logic fails to get anything implemented 
I'd prefer this be a sub-forum, where would you want it placed? My first suggestion would be OTD, since it seems that's where the majority of the sports-related conversation is taking place to begin with.

Do put it in OTD so that conversation there won't be hampered by silly Pub requirements.
Sports fans are some of the most vile creatures on Earth and they'll need ample room to curse, spit, etc. etc.

I would say either the Pub or OTD would be acceptable.

I wouldn't mind it being a subforum, but honestly it might be better off as it's own because there are so many subforums that could be OFF of a sports forum, ya know?
If it has to be a subforum though, I wouldn't care if it was in the pub or OTD. My only fear is that if it was in OTD it would be moderated as an OTD forum....I don't want random flames and stupid pictures (no offense guys ) I'd rather it be serious sports talk...with some shit talking
Either one though is fine.

I've never seen a sports forum where there wasnt MAD amounts of shit talking going on. It pretty much comes w/ the territory...
I dont care where they put it, as long as they put it somewhere....

I personally think "The great Outdoors" Would be a great subforum of a "Sport" forum. Hiking/Camping can definitely be classified as a sports. Just my opinion though...I don't really care too much where the forum ends up, as long as it's there and people post in it 
Oh, and I would be HAPPY to mod it also

My suggestion would be OTD, although right now the most sports activity is in fantasy baseball which is pretty Pubber-dominated.
But frankly, sports is a topic that gets people angry - and an OTD subforum for sports would let us really rip into each other. But we could have rules for it for shock pics and what not..
