From: "John W. Redelfs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't feel the way you do about football, soccer and baseball. Professional football in this country cannot be played by ordinary people. They have to be giants. It is the same way with basketball: the best players are virtually freaks. But normal sized people can play soccer. ---------- Exactly my point. Soccer is a wimpy sport that anyone can play. Well, almost anyone. I'm so wimpy I probably couldn't play it. ---------- As for baseball, well... when my kids all got stuck out in right field while the coaches kid got to be pitcher I learned that baseball, softball actually, wasn't much of a sport except for a favored few. When I put my kids in soccer they all got to play their guts out every minute that they were in good enough shape to play. ---------- Grampa Bill never let any of us kids play sports. He thought that we wouldn't study if we were playing. I guess I showed him. I didn't study anyway. :-)
At the time I wasn't too concerned about not playing sports, but now I wish I had done something. I will admit that those who play soccer seem to have a good time. I personally don't see how you can call it "shooting" when the kicked ball goes no where near the goal. So I will grant you a point on soccer perhaps being a fun game to play. But I think I would rather drive dull nails into my temples than to have to sit through watching a soccer match. Cousin Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Our country, right or wrong.
