Thursday Morning Riddle
In a sport, I’m offensive; in love, I’m much worse;
I’m a blessing in flight; in the ocean, a curse;
I keep straight in the pool hall; I’m gay when inverse;
And in musical groups, I need hardly rehearse.
Who am I?
UPDATE: Riddle solved by Paw Lee. See comments for answer.

here’s goes: a cue (?)
that ocean bit has me stumped though…

“Cue” is incorrect, though, with its various meanings, that would have made a good riddle too.
The ocean bit should make more sense when the riddle is solved.

my sister’s boyfriend’s cousin says triangle- whose answer was received by me via email at 2:24pm if that means anything…

TRIANGLE is correct! Congratulations, Paw Lee!
Apologies to triangle players, who I’m sure work very hard to refine their craft.
A new riddle will be posted next Thursday morning. In the meantime, feel free to enjoy the rest of the blog (including last week’s riddle, which has yet to be solved.)

And an honorable mention to Cynthia’s sister’s boyfriend’s cousin.
