Darts Is A Sport – Get Over It

GMac wins a major. Westy world no 1. That’s *****”
Ian Poulter is normally a likable Chap; I admire any sportsman who can ply his trade wearing trousers. Golf, Darts, and Snooker are the greatest sports on earth as a consequence; it is rather undignified for grown men to be running around in shorts. So Ian Poulter should know better, but on twitter he is just the General of an army of the ignorant.
