I don't follow sports and never have short of knowing if the home team
is doing well. Call me a fair weather fan. Many of my friends can
spout which team (pro, college, HS) did what to whom and know all the
players, their stats, etc. I try to put up a good manly face and say
the right things at the right time but basically I could really care
less. I realize that I am in the minority.

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? ;-)

Next time you are out at the field, take your own informal pole and
report back. We may have the makings here of a article in Psychology
Today!

No, I don't follow any sports.

Like Avery Brundage, I think anyone who gets paid to play cannot be
participating in a real sport.

And to call some overpaid moron who can hit a ball, or throw a ball, or kick
a ball, a sports "hero" is an insult to the fine men and women in the
military who each have a million times the heroism of Barry Bonds, or
what-his-name Vick, or Pete Rose, or even someone who hasn't disgraced
themselves at their little games.

The I feel better now. Let's go flying.
