The Hawking Test

"The Hawking Test" is a way of settling any debate over whether or not an activity qualifies as a sport (i.e. chess, NASCAR, cheerleading, etc.). When debating, take a step back and ask yourself "could Stephen Hawking participate in this activity?" If the answer is yes, then that activity is definitely not a sport. If the answer is no, it can qualify as a sport.
While watching a commercial for World Series of Poker on ESPN -

You: "You know, I don't understand why poker keeps showing up on ESPN, it isn't even a sport."

Your Friend: "Poker definitely counts as a sport, it takes a lot of skill!"

You: "Come on man... poker doesn't even pass The Hawking Test. That man can play poker. Poker isn't a sport."

caroline hawkins

Caroline Hawkins is a sweet, caring and, although she doesn't always know it, beautiful girl. She is very smart, and knows what she's talking about. She is a little insane, but her craziness brings out the best in other people. She can be very loud, probably a little too loud sometimes, but she is loved anyway. A Caroline Hawkins attracts all the men ;) and knows how to get what she wants. She is very athletic and loves to play sports with her friends. She is very popular, but known to be kind. Although she sometimes stresses out over school work, she is generally good at focusing on the positive and moving on/learning from past mistakes. She can gossip a little too much sometimes, but generally understands when she has gone too far. She secretly loves Justin Bieber, Jake Paul and Jacob Sartorius although she will never admit it, and has posters of them hanging everywhere in her room.
Her name is Caroline Hawkins. She's pretty dope man.

Hanking

When you adamantly tell your friends that you will order a dog cage at the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago to put your girlfriend in and weeks go by but you definitely didn't put your girl in a dog cage.

To make extravagant promises to your boys in the group thread and then not follow through at all.

Don Haskins

Don Haskins is the greatist college basketball coach there ever was. He didnt think black, white, latino, native american, asian, male, or femal he just thought players. He treated all his players the same way thats why he was the first coach ever to put in five black starters in a 1966 championship game agianst Kentucky not only to put them in but to win the game. His team was Texas Western College (TWC)and nobody expected this little no-name college from El Paso to win the whole thing. Many call him couragess and a pioneer in racial history but he claims he just did what they needed to do to win the game and put in his best players. They just happened to be black. He is VERY humble and is a great man.
I suggest you read Glory Road which Coach Haskins himself wrote or see the movie. Both will give you a better idea about this truly significant moment in history which ofcourse,couldn't have happened without Don Haskins.
