I have sailed, thrown baskets and played pick up games, played some backyard touch football, played little league many years ago, tried golf a couple of times, ridden a bike, driven a car and motorcycle, Swam, Dove, worn a judo gi, pinned and have been pinned, run, hit a tennis ball, pulled a sweep oar, pushed a puck, kicked a soccer ball, thrown and caught a lacrosse ball.
I have also hurled, but I was young and had too much to drink.
I watch, or don't watch, various sports based on my own enjoyment of viewing. So do you. I suck at basketball, and really don't care for it. But I will watch the college and pro championships because I appreciate the high level of play in those games.
The writer has made a strong case. And if it were televised I would watch. If the situation was the same and a case had been made for a sport you prefer would you have posted the same thing?
I hope I'm wrong, but the impression I'm getting is that some of the objections are along the lines of: "this is a bunch of wealthy guys riding a buhzillion dollar 'boat'. Nobody cares, and anyone who does, shouldn't." Really?, on FR?
If there is something I'm missing about this please let me know. Thanks.
If you are trying to gain interest for a sport why make it unreachable for the common man?
That’s all.
