That may be true in those sports...but those are not sports that interest me as far as watching...doing them is a different story... Most of this is I just don't like to watch sports on TV. I wouldn't mind going to games live, but I am more of a participatory kinda guy. Watching sports reminds me of what I can no longer do due to my disabilities so I just avoid them all together. I really get no enjoyment watching them. Some of the main sports just really turn me off because of their crass commercialism where it seems that whoever gets the best sponsor is more important than the game. When I see the AT&T Bowl or something like Comiskey park in Chicago changed to US Cellular Field (They are also talking about renaming Wrigley Field to the highest bidder)...to me, that tells me that sports are dead.
The main sports have been more about money and greed rather than sportsmanship and competition for a long time. I stopped being a football fan when Walter Payton retired from the Bears. Baseball, while never really a big fan of watching it (though I played baseball for years as a kid in Little League), really lost me when they went on strike. To me, that was a smack in the face to every working American who struggles with low pay and crappy insurance. They gall they had to complain that with all the money they make (and I don't think athletes should get paid as much as they do...their jobs are WAY overvalued) and then strike because their pretty awesome insurance plans weren't good enough. Fuck them. Hockey was always an on and off thing for me...yeah I can get into hockey, but I really have to be in the mood...better yet if I see it live.

You can continue to watch Snowboarding, Freeskiing, Skateboarding. While there are those with the big sponsor contracts everyone continues to push the limits of what can be done on the snow and street ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322119 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
