Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Didn't the Roman Emperors use sport to 'distract' the plebs?
I totally understand the 'feelings' brought on by sports. I'm not 100% immune to it and I did like sport to some extent when I was younger. I've just become less interested and enthused these days, especially when I think about the money, lack of sports personality (they're so boring these days!) and the other aspects which I find appalling that I can't really get over.
I don't disagree at all that there's more to life than sports. But for so many, it's the only escape from the rat race. I'm not one of those who live and die by the latest scores but for a few hours Saturday night I was totally disconnected from civilization as I watched my beloved 'Canes "Convicts" take the "Catholics" of Notre Dame behind the woodshed. Didn't change my life one iota but it sure felt good.
