Change the "Sport/Outdoor Section" name to "Sport/Health and Fitness"

Change the "Sport/Outdoor Section" name to "Sport/Health and Fitness"

People at the moment are unwary of whether there post belongs in that section or off topic. Lets be frank, no one posts about there epic abseiling or the time they went cannoing, so the wording 'outdoor' is obselete. We should rename it to somthing along the lines of Health and fitness or bodybuilding or whatever to encourage people to post more things there.

By doing this, there is finally a section where people are encouraged to post things raging from weight loss goals, diets, weight lifting goals or gym workouts in general as well as conversational type posts like gym pet peeves or 'which type of musashi should i buy?'.

My main concern is right now alot of people are interested in body building, health and fitness but are discouraged from posting because of the naming in the section, or that there is not an official section. The word 'sport' can be kept so people can discuss NFL and other major sporting events in that section.

Tl;dr Rename "Sports/Outdoors" section to "Sports/Health and Fitness" or make a new section with the aforementioned name under Off Topic.

 

Yah, I think it's a great idea. Support and whatnot.

 

Agreed/support, I'm one of those people as well.

 

I'd recommend comma-separating the words, so people know they can talk about sports AND health, and not just sports as they relate to health. "Sports, Health, and Fitness". Changing outdoor to health and fitness is definitely a good suggestion

 

eh seems like an easy change and sounds alot better support

 

Yeah, I'd support this. Whether it'd make all that much of a difference, I don't know, but it's an easy change.

 

sappert

Seems like an easy change to me and would be helpful to some people .

 

Support I guess. It's not really completely useful, but still I support.

 

Then Verts said 'let there be a forum name change'... and it was done.
