I don't think we'd sign off on that, these threads are allowed but probably won't receive infrastructure for stuff like that. If it isn't related to combat (even tangentially), we probably won't provide a page for it. Of course, many sports would be relevant, but the ways by which they are relevant are already document-able- hockey players receiving Martial Arts and Weapon Mastery for beating the shit out of one another is fine, but as an indexing site geared toward violence, we don't really care if someone is good at soccer.

If you want permission to make a thread on the subject, I'll extend it, but I would personally be opposed to having such ability pages. It's a slippery slope and not really relevant, only justified by an amendment to Versus Threads, which is never our main focus anyways.

Fair, I have no personal interest in it personally and just figured it'd be an eventual talking point regardless since if people are going to put characters through these thread (and have them be thematic) then they'd probably prefer an actual means of figuring out what the character is shown to do. I can see some arguments for it be tangentially combat related since it is often shown characters using these traits for combat (Like a tennis or ping pong player being really good at reflecting attacks).

While I do agree that many of them are documentable (for the Soccer example, the new Sleight of Hand page ironically would be a good fit for that in dribbling), the idea of hockey qualifying as martial arts does admittedly sound a bit ridiculous.
