Hehehe,

Soccer is a great "Third World Sport" . . . as all you need is something to pass as a ball . . . the pitch can be a city street, a field or worse yet a mine field . . .

Any type car race simply has the ultimate penalty for error . . . if AROD makes his seventh error of the week we see "E5" on the scoreboard . . . When Adam Petty, Kenny Irwin, Arton Senna, Jimmy Clark, Peter Revson, or Fireball Roberts made their "error" the penalty was ultimate.

The good old USA has its own "Third World Sport" . . . HOOPS, all you need is a ball and a play ground.

I think by nature "sport" is hard to define because beauty is, as we know, "in the eye . . . " you know the rest . . .

I have same argument constantly about art: is my work art (abstract expressionist), is "jazz fusion" music, and is "American Idol" entertainment?

Hot stove leagues once were about the passion of sport . . . now we don't even know how to define "sport".

Regards,
