Suggestion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Great project.  My I make an suggestion under sport - add a new icon for lawn 
bowls (http://www.bowlsgn.co.za/).  I would suggest a large black ball next to 
a small white ball. Or if one look at 
(http://bendigo2004.thecgf.com/About_the_Games/Sports/Lawn_Bowls/). I have 
noted that if one look at a google image search for lawn bowls 
http://www.google.co.za/images?q=lawn+bowls&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:offic
ial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=lJuFTbLxHdOzhAfh6qyuBA&ve
d=0CFUQsAQ&biw=1162&bih=749) then a person releasing a bowl would appear to be 
frequently used.

Actually we already have a "Boules" icon, under ball sports.
You see ?

That icon is a man throwing a ball, in lawn bowls you role the ball.

From my point of view, the boules icon is showing the man roling the ball, like 
it should be.

(I am french by the way, I am well aware how Boules/Pétanque/Lawn bowls works 
:)

:) Just an question from an English speaking South African.
The way I understand the terms are as follows:
Lawn bowls is played on a large grass field with the player rolling a 
large ball towards a small white ball.
P�tanque the target ball is placed on the ground (not grass) and the 
player throws (underhand) a big metal ball towards the target.
Bouls - I have no idea.

Therefore from the above you can see why I saw the icon as being "not 
correct" for I see a man throwing a ball. (underhand).

I will therefore use that icon to indicate lawn bowls.

Enjoy your day
