| Message | I would like a sport whose rules I understand. I think there is a wicket in cricket and I have a basic idea about the rules of rugby. I don't need it to be an American sport. But I would prefer to have something like Soccer, Sumo Wrestling, Boxing or something I at least understand. |

| Message | Maybe a compromise. Since we will be having two sports, why don't we drop one of the the two in this bill, and replace it with one that can be supported by the parties with reservations. |

| Message | Okay. Rugby League could become the summer sport, and we could have a winter sport like, Luthori Rules Football, or something? |

| Message | I think Rugby would be more of a winter sport. Y'know, seeing how I've grown up in the States, we always have our American Football games in the winter, and baseball in the Summer. Now, I know they aren't exactly like their counterparts (in this case Rugby and Cricket), but I still think Cricket Summer and Rugby Winter is the best idea. UNLESS we play Ice-Hockey in winter. That would be awesome. Because in ice-hockey, people beat the snot out of each other. |

| Message | Rugby League is a summer sport in Europe but a winter sport in Australasia, so it could be either in Luthori, and we are in the northern hemisphere. |

| Message | Which season we play rugby league in should be decided by what the other sport is (since it can be played in either). |

| Message | On that note, what should the other sport be? |

| Message | We could aways keep archery as the other one? |
