Che's favorite sports?

[Ortega]

What did Che like besides rugby... and soccer i guess...?

Did he play baseball or basketball like Fidel?

[nezvanova]

I saw a picture once of Che holding a baseball bat, poised to hit a ball. And I also saw some of him playing golf. i'll try to find the links when i have more time.

[guevara-marley]

he did many sports.. rugby, golf, base ball, chess (if yo want to count it as a sport..), horse riding, football, i don't know but i've got a picture where he holds a tennis racket in his hands..

teté

[Ian]

Rugby :o ... Don't make me hate Che as much as I do rich bastards who play Rugby...

[El Commandante]

Che was a keen amateur football (soccer) and rugby player at both school and local level when he was in Argentina.

[FistFullOfSteel]

soccer rules!


yeah,i also saw che with a baseball bat...hitting a ball

:trotski: :hammer: :che: :engles: :marx: :castro: :cuba:

[Marxismliveson]

swimming and other fitness style sports like running and bike riding, he did that when he was younger, but that's because his dad made him

he wanted a strong energetic son

[Dyst]

Crap... He played golf? Damn. Golf stinks, only rich pigs who plays it!

[FistFullOfSteel]

mini golf is fun :)

[commieboy]

How can you call sports games for the rich?

Golf was invented by some drunk scotsman with a bent pipe, and a sheep testicle...

And i only like soccer if there's a riot afterwords...

But i do know Che loved golf, when he was a kid he was a caddy, and of course we've all seen him putting in his Olive Green Fatigues.

[FistFullOfSteel]

:lol: funny thing with the golf invention.


"the rich do not know sports" :)

[YKTMX]

Shooting traitors in the face presumably.

[Hate Is Art]

is that meant to be some snide anti-che comment?

i dont think it was cos his dad made him its because he wanted to be fit and healthy to make his asthma less worse.

[lasseniko]

Che is a former goalkeeper in Soccer (the greatest sport ever)

Excuse me, but Ernesto wasn´t a poor guy. He grew up in a family with good economic position, that´s why he do a lot of sports, and of course rugby and Soccer.

Some saints, grew up with a lot of money, but they leave it all to help others. In some ways, Ernesto is like those saints.

[Ortega]

exactly...
che spent the first several years of his life living at an expensive vacation resort. the guevara name was known all through argentina as a "rich" name. che was definetly very well off until he left argentina

[nezvanova]

from what i've read, his family maintained a high standard of living,e ven when they didn't really have the finances to back it up...

[Ortega]

ches parents wanted him to have a good life... and ches mothers parents gave the family a lot of money to maintain that

[Palmares]

THIS IS TRUE:

CHE LOVED AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL

Sure he was around when it was the VFL, but he wanted it to be the AFL, and he wanted a team from Perth, and that means he would have gone for the West Coast Eagles.

Che knows his stuff. :D

[marxstudent]

Wow I didn't even know rugby was for rich people. I saw it once and it looked pretty tough w/out pads and all. I didn't know rich people liked to get dirty and hurt. (At least most of them)

In Australia at least, I know it to be a 'private school' sport. So I suppose the 'rich' implications are there.

Here @ Argentina, in public schools there is not Rugby (of Course soccer ;) ), but if want, i can go to a any club to play it, like many others, hockey, volley and basquet.

[Felicia]

[Charred_Phoenix]

Bah&#33; Thugby&#33;

I have to say, I don&#39;t particularly like the idea of randomly bashing into people, but then I don&#39;t like most sports. Only sport I play is fencing (and yes I know I&#39;m going to get a lot of posts from ill-educated people about the upper class nature of fencing).

[Ortega]

baseballs my favorite... i dont know if che really played it. i know fidel did.

Yes...
I don´t know how others universities are in latin america, but many times i´ve heard University of Buenos Aires or Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) it´s the biggest and one of the best. We have some Nobels from UBA, 2 in medicine and 1 in Chemestry.

Many ppl from other countries come here only for the University ;), and one of the greatest this is totally, only some money in the inscription...

No english site :(

Best Regards.

[Zafiro]
