In the history thread both versions are stated, probably the results of re-writing in different times.

They are made of steel, that's the main reason actually.

unclebryan said:Regarding sports: for participation in team sports, basketball requires less equipment than American football beyond the flag football stage, and thus given the influx of foreign players into the NBA, I think participation in basketball would be higher than American football, although as a spectator sport, Eutopians would probably prefer American football.
What sports would Eutopians have a chance at in the Olympics? Bahamas does well in track, but I wouldn't think that would be our specialty. Riding, sailing, or pistol shooting might be specialty sports that some Eutopians might excel in, given our background. Other possibilities include beach volleyball and whitewater kayaking or canoeing.
The_Hawk said:Regarding sports -- insofar as the general populace is a reflection of the playerbase, the two most popular sports should really be soccer and American football, the only two which have (IIRC) had successful player-involved leagues. As UB suggests, basketball would probably be popular, though I would imagine it would largely be at the level of high schools, colleges, and individuals -- questionable national popularity could well be the reason no player leagues ever formed.
With regards to your proposal specifically, Gonzo, I would suggest switching rugby and American football, and possibly bumping cricket down the list in favor of baseball and basketball. The rank order may also vary somewhat depending on what area you're looking at (for instance, soccer may lose a few points to American football if you're talking only about the UPE rather than the whole island of Eutopia.)
