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.
No serious discussion of what constitutes sport versus non sport can exclude NASCAR.
Dear Lewis:
I know you love NASCAR, you ole forum baiter. You're probably watching it on that golf cart you're zooming around in practicing that truly impossible "sport" or on that built in TV/DVD player in your SUV. :rofl: Let's just put NASCAR in the non sport category and proceed to argue about other important sports topics. I'm sure all NASCAR drivers can run sub 5 40s and do sub 4:00 miles. I bet they can even break 50 in the 100 free if pressed. They are truly amazing non athletes.
Now, as you know, I do agree with you about soccer, the scourge of youth sports.
