good call!

Answer 4

Actually fishing does have its section it's a category in the Outdoor recreation categor on top of that you also have the Water Sports.

Look just because Team Handball isn't popular in the English speaking world doesn't mean Yahoo Q&A shouldn't have this sport in the catefory.

YAHOO INTERNATIONAL  is the reason why it has a category it's more then just a American or English speaking forum. Germany and Spain which have the top pro handball leagues in addition to it being #2 sport in Germany are both part of Yahoo Answers along with France and South Korea.

Look Yahoo doesn't have the capabilty to just remove categoreis for all seperate Yahoo Awnsers based on language or nationality. So no matter if it's Yahoo Germany, India, or USA you get all the same categories including no matter what. So everbody gets Baseball, Cricket, Nascar, Canadian, Australian Football and yes Handball even if these sports aren't very popular or even played.

If you take a look at this list of contries from Europe you'll get a better idea of where Team Handball is played. From Northen Europe to Eastern Europe as well as France and Spain.

On a international level European nations have dominated winning all Olympic Gold medals and the World Championships however game is also popular in North Africa and South Korea has a good national team. Sport over time can grow in popularity in Asia. Brazil is the dominat team in the America's though it's not one of there bigger sports.

Answer 5

Ya, why no fishing

Handball is a game that kids play in P.E. , fishing is more of a sport

Answer 6

Handball is an Olympic sport and fishing is not.
