Harry, a communist like you should love football. It provides enjoyment
for many more people of lower means than recreational boating does

Steve, I'm going to disagree with you here. Harry dislikes team sports
because organized team sport is a meritocracy. Some are more skilled and
harder workers than others, and the skilled, hard workers get bigger
rewards, while those with lesser skills and effort fail -- with no regard
for their so-called "self-esteem". This is the way every business ought to
be allowed to work, but we all know that is not the case.



It's amazing how much "analysis" low-brain-output types like you try to
squeeze out of your various orifices, and how hard you work at it and
yet how wrong you always are.

What do you do for a living, John? Certainly nothing that requires
abstract thinking.

I dislike most *pro* sports, but I do enjoy some college sports. If I'm
in Tallahassee "in-season," I'll gladly attend an FSU football game,
although football is not among my favorite team sports, and I'm not an
FSU alum.

My favorite team sports are rugby, swimming and track, the three sports
I most enjoyed participating in in high school and college. I have the
honor of losing and losing badly in a 1960s shot put event to Randy
Matson of Texas A&M. He was incredible. I was merely on the team. What a
joy to watch that guy. Got to photograph him, too, the next year, while
a stringer for the KC Star.
