— BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) June 13, 2014 China bans World Cup predictions from pandas
Pandas are losing their naturally-given right to help us decide sports results.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
There are a few things we believe in with all our hearts.
- Everything should be set to “Pony.”
- We love the World Cup.
- All animals should be allowed to predict games.
Way to take No.3 away from us, China! Okay, so maybe their reasoning is pretty solid -- limiting baby panda’s exposure to people is probably a good thing, but this had all the trappings of the best animal prediction the world has ever seen.
Grumble ... groan.
