If Middle Earth had sport teams

which teams would you think be the powerhouses for each sport

teams would of course be:

Rivendell (Elves)
Rohan (Humans)
Gondor (Humans)
The Shire (Hobbits)
Isengard (Orcs)
Mordor (Orcs)
Lothlorien (Elves)
Moria (Dwarfs)

and the sports would be:

Ice Hockey
American Football
Basketball
Football (Soccer)
Baseball

I'll make seperate threads to discuss each sport

Rivendell would be Hockey because, well I know only hockey preps here and if any sub-urban group would be Elves it would be them. It goes with the whole general better-than-thou demeanor, flowery aftershave and high gay-factor. Not to mention the fancy clothes!

Rohan and Gondor would both be playing soccer of course, like true human men they like running after a ball only to kick it away

The Shire hobbits would have a rugby team because, well, why not? It would be cute! Yea, so much for a real reason.

Isengard would be hockeying against the Elves, obviously!

Mordor would be into Baseball against possibly Gondor, who would probably have a team of every sport. I mean, come one. They're humans, sports is what we do when we aren't fighting or saving damsels in distress.

The dwarfs would also have a rugby team. Because, well, it fits! And with a hobbit rugby team there would be no issues of length advantage :p
