Oddly I found that most of my pilot friends are in the same boat. I
took an informal poll at our club and at least 90% of those asked
didn't follow sports. Seems very odd. I wonder what the connection
is? Intelligence? ;-)


When I was in the Navy, I was offered a free ride & free admission to a
World Series game. The deal included free beer, and seats in a special compound
ON THE FIELD. I wasn't even tempted. It sounded like a boring way to spend a
day.

I am a lot older now, but nothing has changed my attitude towards spectator
sports.

"Spectator sports" is an oxymoron, like "athletic scholarship"...;-)
