I'm guessing it would be for your modern day couch potatoe....who have been introduced to darts via social media platforms who now think they are experts ?? 100 times harder my arse 🤔... that's nonsense coming from the clueless 🫣...cmon tell us all what sport or game is easier given darts is now awash with young players banging in 9 darters n 180s etc like it's gone out of fashion beating the old type pros at their own game ???
"Kicking a ball into a goal" "potting a ball into a pocket" We can say stupid things about every sport. Littler is doing things nobody has done in his game. If it's thays easy then all these callers should take it up, there's big money and sponsorship up for grabs! 🤡's
It's a silly point saying Darts is 'less of' a sport than anything else...Sport is a spectrum of physicality and skill, on one end there are extremely physical events like track and field and weight lifting, in the middle events like Football and Cricket- which require part physical, part skill-based, and then on the other sports like Golf, and Darts. Sport is not simply a matter of lesser or more in terms of physicality or else we would all say football is lesser than weightlifting or world strongest man...In the same way that is absurd, it is absurd to say Darts is lesser than anything else...Surprised I have to explain this to sports journalists 😂 Everyone is welcome to their opinion on a sport or sporting achievement, but it is just that an opinion. Personally I think Littlers achievements in Darts (and the spoils and adoration he has garnered) speak for themselves. Anyone can sit at home or in their car and diminish any sporting achievement saying things like 'he just threw the dart at a board', equally we can say 'he just hit a ball over a net'.
@rossrobson91 The irony also is...surely a cornerstone of what is a sport is fair play and meritocracy and the best at the sport getting the opportunities and spoils...Boxing and MMA literally has men in suits choosing who will compete for the championship so much more arguably not sports, but sports/business or sports/entertainment
with darts you have to not only throw its all to do with maths and calculation ..archery is just pull and aim .. darts is way harder... quick quick calculations
@_rob_boss It has all the framework of a sport apart from one thing...no physicality required at all. If it is a sport it is the sport with the least physicality possible (arguably the highest skill though). Sports classically and as a commerical product all tend to have physicality though (juxtaposed with e-sports that dont), including darts, chess doesn't is the difference. Do you have any more questions?
If you are going to have a darts dedicated channel have ex professional darts players as the hosts or have one at least, they know what they’re talking about and can shut stupid callers down much easier.
Dimitar Berbatov hardly ever moved about a football pitch. Sport is mostly skill based, some sports require fitness and athleticism as well. Darts is 100% a sport
Luke Littlers achievements are up there with anybody in any sport. He’s still only 17!! He’s light years ahead of his peers and beat seasoned pro’s all last season. Let’s give credit where it’s due. The “Nuke” is an incredible story and he has already elevated the sport of darts to new levels. 🎯.x
What everyone seems to be missing here as far as the young lad goes, is his champion winners mind set, regardless of if darts is a sport, or a game. Luke has a winners mentality, comparable to any champion, of any disipline. How athletic he is, or isn't, or how far he can run, has fuck all to do with it.
When people say Darts is not a sport its a game ,well Dont we say ,dont people say ,did you see the game today , meaning Football , When you talk about A competitive game of tennis ,its called a tennis match , When you watch a game of darts its also referred as a darts match Same with Football ,
When we say to someone go fuck themselves, do we actually mean that? Just because the words people use in conversation make it sound like a sport similar to FOOTBALL, one of the most physically demanding sports on the PLANET, is it anything like football? Bro darts players are not athletes, the greatest ever started in his mid 20s and was built like a pear. No disrespect to the game but it’s not a sport
"How dare you put Luke Littler in the same sentence as Pele and Boris Becker". I doubt Professor Mo here is going to be the one who cures cancer, lads.
Trying to compare different sports is ridiculous. Like comparing apples and pears. Let’s just enjoy the amazing game of darts and the genius talent of this young champion. They only come around every 25 years or so.
talksport please if your gonna actually give darts media a go,have at least one ex pro answer calls for an hour a day because this conversation doesn’t help the sport or your channel at all
So the same childish clown (Adam catterall) who talks crap about the sport of boxing he knows nothing about, now you’ve got him talking about darts too. Hire someone else
It’s a game but like anything the more you do it the better you get and yes there’s levels and to reach them levels takes a little luck and a lot of skill that comes from practice
Only time will tell. He certainly has the opportunity to be one of the sports greats. Yet there are many people who have only won one world championship and disappeared - just look at Lucas Brecel. Any announcements at this stage are premature!
Darts is Darts. Snooker is Snooker. What possible difference does it make if they're "classified" as a sport, or a game, or a work of avant-garde poetry? Who cares? I've enjoyed watching both for many years, and I continue to do so. Why is that a bad thing? How are these games less "worthy" because there's no physical exertion?
The whole thing of diet ,in darts not needed is wrong , Darts is a muscle memory sport, if a player were to gain weight or lose weight ,it can effect the throw massively, Darts are weighted, a difference of 1gram can mean the difference from going high or low ,so imagine a dart player who suddenly puts on body weight or loses excess body weight , The size of your arm can alter the way you throw,same with legs ,
@98TheJackInTheBox I think 💭 having seem all worlds since 1970s the Leyton Reece times and Jockey I can say a half decent version of Phil would have continued in this era too win the world title with the odd loss like deller bristow along the way. Taylor averages were ten points higher than today. Lukes truly amazing for 17 years old.
They keep going on about darts being a pub game?? Where else would you play it in ffs the fucxing jungle or summat, try playing football or cricket in a pub it’s not easy!!😉
Littler has won a few nice prizes this season, and crowned himself World Champion... Excellent season, certainly if we take in acccount his young age... But please, please do not start to compare him with the greats in darts... If in ten years from now he has won a few more world championships and fifty other majors, we could maybe start to think about calling him one of the greats in darts.. At this moment his a young kid with a lot of talent who won one world title....
It aint called the olympic sports is it so who cares its a game like all olympic sports lol,,, as for being called a great , a great breaks records that stand for a long time ,,, who is going to beat his age and avg scores in a set and ina game
Snooker is the hardest game in the world to play golf being second this has been proven darts 3 Call them GAMES all you like but they are harder then Football which is my first love MMA and combat sports some people can just fight naturally some people are totally trained I’ve boxed and done mma and I’ve played snooker against the best in the world and darts to a decent level snooker is harder then all im afraid by a long way! Try hitting a 147! Try hitting a 9 darter!
I love watching games like snooker and darts, I play both. They are games, requiring high skill levels, but not the same degree of physical fitness as a someone that plays a game of football at the top level. Big Bill Werbeniuk was a great snooker player, but if you suggest he competed as a 'sportsman' we have a very different opinion of what what is a competitive game, sport or pastime and what is not. Fishing... Should that be in the olympics next time around ?
Crazy how a “pub hobby” is the second most viewed thing on sky sports after football where players play for a half a million first prize, absolute clown!!
Carlton Cole makes me feel so smart..
What a dumb conversation, respect skill and ability, Darts shouldn’t be considered less than other sports.
This is a ‘darts’ channel, you don’t respect it
It’s a pub game. A lovely bit of fun. Nothing more. Nothing less. End of.
then why are archery and shooting in the fucking olympics
💯 these callers are 🤡 's
Spot on.
You don’t have to make weight for weight lifting either.
So stupid some people and incredibly jealous
Darts is 100 times harder than a lot of sports
I'm guessing it would be for your modern day couch potatoe....who have been introduced to darts via social media platforms who now think they are experts ?? 100 times harder my arse 🤔... that's nonsense coming from the clueless 🫣...cmon tell us all what sport or game is easier given darts is now awash with young players banging in 9 darters n 180s etc like it's gone out of fashion beating the old type pros at their own game ???
Carlton Cole “He’s gotta have his diet right to play like that” 🤦😂
"Kicking a ball into a goal" "potting a ball into a pocket"
We can say stupid things about every sport. Littler is doing things nobody has done in his game. If it's thays easy then all these callers should take it up, there's big money and sponsorship up for grabs! 🤡's

Sport requires movement, accuracy and skill, darts has these, why do people keep spewing out stupid nonsense saying it’s not a sport.
@rossrobson91 The irony also is...surely a cornerstone of what is a sport is fair play and meritocracy and the best at the sport getting the opportunities and spoils...Boxing and MMA literally has men in suits choosing who will compete for the championship so much more arguably not sports, but sports/business or sports/entertainment
@@rossrobson91is chess a sport?

Darts may not be the most athletic of sports, but it's still a sport
Still more athletic than snooker
If you are going to have a darts dedicated channel have ex professional darts players as the hosts or have one at least, they know what they’re talking about and can shut stupid callers down much easier.
So why is horse jumping in the Olympics, it's the horse that does the work.
It’s like saying golf is a game because all they do is walk and hit a ball
Mo not understanding what 'not comparable' means is hilarious
Dimitar Berbatov hardly ever moved about a football pitch. Sport is mostly skill based, some sports require fitness and athleticism as well. Darts is 100% a sport

The standard of darts is far less now than it was 10 years ago.. So what makes you think littler had brought darts to a level never seen before?
Darts and Snooker are the daddies..of holding your bottle .
Mo 🤡
What everyone seems to be missing here as far as the young lad goes, is his champion winners mind set, regardless of if darts is a sport, or a game. Luke has a winners mentality, comparable to any champion, of any disipline. How athletic he is, or isn't, or how far he can run, has fuck all to do with it.
Not physical? I didnt know they threw darts with the power of telekinesis
Morning the Liverpool fan rattled by a 17 year old Man United fans achievements. Shock horror
Horse jumping, archery, shooting are all olympic sports, darts and snooker are so much more skilful so it's a sport you wally Mo!
There are some right twonks that get on your show, total idiots. Personally I would cut them off mid call and concentrate on the sensible callers.
The whole argument is boring and pointless, people love to categorise shit
Why is golf a sport then😂
I'm not biting lol. 😅
so why is Shooting in the Olympics
so is dancing
Synchronised swimming…

wr can all play tennis, soccer to a desent standard very few can play darts snooker at a competitive level.
"How dare you put Luke Littler in the same sentence as Pele and Boris Becker".

I know what you mean mate pele was a fraud

Luke littler signs for Manchester United in January transfer market as striker 180❤
If darts is not a sport, nor is archery or lawn bowls. Or so many sports.
I can live with that, darts is a game, archery is a bit more than a game I’d say
Omg mo😂😂ya crap thats why
Mo the first comment, Oh my days what a tool..
@98TheJackInTheBox I think 💭 having seem all worlds since 1970s the Leyton Reece times and Jockey I can say a half decent version of Phil would have continued in this era too win the world title with the odd loss like deller bristow along the way.

You know times are tough when Carlton Cole is giving expert opinion lol 😂 not a clue on how they train and the dedication of all darts players
EA SPORTS ITS IN THE GAME
Littler has won a few nice prizes this season, and crowned himself World Champion... Excellent season, certainly if we take in acccount his young age...

Snooker is the hardest game in the world to play golf being second this has been proven darts 3
Call them GAMES all you like but they are harder then Football which is my first love
MMA and combat sports some people can just fight naturally some people are totally trained
I’ve boxed and done mma and I’ve played snooker against the best in the world and darts to a decent level snooker is harder then all im afraid by a long way!
Try hitting a 147!

Sport doesn’t require high levels of “physical fitness” just to be classed as a sport.
He play computer... ua-cam.com/video/MUVT6lylqnM/v-deo.html
He can’t even read, why is he on the radio
Darts and snooker players dont train ...they practice rooney was scoring goals in prem at 17
Darts is a pub hobby. Amazed it's even being spoke about on talksport
Crazy how a “pub hobby” is the second most viewed thing on sky sports after football where players play for a half a million first prize, absolute clown!!
