Hi, how are you?
gpt
I'm good thanks. I was reading about tennis recently. Didier Drogba  is a soccer player that stopped a civil war in his home country. 
human
I read the other day that they have used helicopters to dry off the fields for tennis
gpt
*takes a step back* Wow. It's really amazing what they will do for professional sports. And yet grunting in tennis can be considered cheating. 
human
*eyes widen* Really? I think they do that like every hit!
gpt
The best players seem too. LOL!
human
Maybe it gives them an advantage! I know a black man won in 1968, and none have won since, that is odd
gpt
Was that Rodney Wallace's father?
human
I am not sure to be honest... I have also heard a tennis player invented the polo!
gpt
That makes me curious about who invented table tennis.  Apparently Ping Pong is the name of the company that sells table tennis equipment. It's not the name of the game. I was surprised when I heard that.
human
That is like the kleenex issue! Tennis is pretty much large scale ping pong!
gpt
Totally! Kleenex and Reynolds Wrap are brands that are so well known, their genre of products are known by the company name.  Kind of like Association Football is known just as football, even if it's not a part of the Association.
human
*takes a step back* Apparently we call that soccer because it was slang for Association football!
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Huh. I did not know that. I always wondered where the term soccer came from.
human
there also is a version of soccer where 3 teams play at once!
gpt
Hmmm. If soccer players run an average of 7 miles per game, and they add a third team, I wonder, will that make them run closer to 10 miles?
human
most likely! that is a lot of running! a lot of people play though, over 250 million
gpt
It's amazing. All those people who play, but there are still some who shine.  Rodney Wallace, for example, made 101 international appearances over 14 years.
human
he represented his country well! that is a lot of games!
gpt
*laughs* I agree. He was born Costa Rican, but he has become an American.
