    I think I will have to start watching some sport I don’t care about to have something in common to talk with other men, discussing the weather only gets you so far

        I think I read somewhere that the meteoric rise in sports is inevitable in a dying culture.

        They are mostly devoid of humanity, nothing more than PG battles in a seasonal PG war that contributes nothing to the betterment of humanity. That’s my take, at least.

        I used to view sports fanatics with derision, but now I view them with pity. We are fortunate to have such wonderful minds and such wonderful surroundings and yet we see more and more people prefer to immerse themselves in brainless athletic conflict.

          Australia seems to have always been obsessed with sport, but I guess that’s the apple not falling far from the tree with Britain’s obsession with inventing sports that we then lose at.
