Also an idea of the sport(s) that you're either already involved in - or are likely to be involved in - would be helpful. Company sick pay is a discresionary benefit, and the company reserves the right to pay out basically.... a variety of reasons can be quoted however one of which is that if the injury was as a result of taking part in a dangerous sport. Therefore the question ~ what is deemed a "dangerous sport". I would consider sky diving etc dangerous.... but my form of motorsport not really dangerous... potential risk I suppose but I've been injured a lot more in Mountain Biking incidents !!! oh yeah and mountain biking.... |

Err.. you think there's more to it than that? Anyway all this is beside the point of the original issue, whether you believe it or not it's NOT a sport, and I have proved it. Thankyou. ....I'm afraid there IS a LOT more to darts than just throwing it and hoping. That merely shows ignorance on your part. Even people that don't watch/like darts can appreciate how much practise is required. |
IIRC it was Ernest Hemingway who said there are only two sports, motor racing and bullfighting. The rest are just games.
