BBC order of sports

[zimzum42]

Looking at the sport section of the BBC news website, it's interesting to look at the order of the sports in the menu on the left hand side.

Olympics is temporary, then football, then cricket....

cycling quite low down, fair enough, but behind snooker?????

and snooker ahead of gorse racing????

Weird!

I'll happily play snooker, but watch it? No thanks, too boring.
Besides, watching it is really bad for your health. Have you heard
the amount of coughing coming from the audience?

Have you heard the amount of coughing coming from the audience?

I think that's a plot by the audience (crowd/spectators?) to try and put the referee off from doing his sums!

Ive never understood why Athletics is like a naked member of the opposite sex to the BBC!
