[quote=briansd1]Americans are bigger and badder, yeah. That we know.
Of course, there are all types of people in a country. But generally speaking, fat Americans don’t have the moxie, elan and grace of their European cousins. Sit at a cafe in Italy or France and look at the people walking by. Observe the sensual rhythm of life.
Sports is about winning one time competitions.
Good health and quality of life are about staying lean, fit and graceful one’s whole life. For most people, sports is just fleeting glory.[/quote]
B-ri,
I think you have a very small view on sports that seems to come from the bragging about what “so and so” did in high school. Everybody is sick of that. But look at it this way, there are many minorities or disadvantage kids that were able to stay in high school, then some earn sport scholarships to college, get degrees and have successful lives because of sports. Staying fit after competitive sports is another “ballgame”.
