As I was browsing around for articles on tonights Bengals/Ravens game I ran across this article and this quote.
www.msnbc.msn.com/.../
"I mean, this isn't a soft sport. We don't play chess. This isn't swimming. This isn't one of those kind of sports. It's football. It takes a man to play this game, and to play this game you have to have passion.''
I had to laugh.
Every sport has it's strengths and weaknesses. I respect most athletes for the dedication and training they go through. I guess I just have a chip on my shoulder from years of seeing swimming placed on the back page of the sports section and never mentioned on the news. In the Atlanta area, they cover football and baseball only and I'm so tired of it. For example: 1)When UGA women won the NCAA's in Athens, it wasn't even covered. 2) When Amanda Weir (from Ga.) won Nationals they didn't report it. 3)When Amanda was on a relay that set an American record it was barely mentioned on the back of the sports section. They were too busy reporting about the Falcons and the Braves. Does that explain my rage toward football? :frustrated:
