why do canadians play hockey and mexicans play soccer?
i guess the predominantly caucasian canadians are racists because they have enough brains not to run around kicking a ball in shorts in the middle of winter.

Actually, there is solid data regarding the lack of wisdom involved in "head"ing a ball. Such impacts do have cumulative effects, on younger players - and eventually on older player.

I think the NBA stinks and I think NASCAR is boring! What am I a Bipolar racist? Oh, but I think Roll N Roll ended with the Four Tops.

Hockey is my favorite team sport, bar none. For individual sports - it's golf. I attended my very first NASCAR (Busch Series) race in Kansas City a couple of weeks back, and was struck by a few things.

They say a prayer before the race.
They sing the National Anthem before the race.
They have a military fly-over before the race.

In my book, that's about as American as it gets.

It was a day that my 10 year-old son and I will never forget. He even picked the winner (Kasey Kahne?) before the race started.
