Stephen, and more importantly ALL,

Duh, ball sports?..what the hell are ball sports?!  Ya mean like 
hockey, football, baseball and s**t like that?  Yes I agree with you 
Stephen, TOO MUCH ENERGY AND SIGNIFICANT FRACTION OF A
COUNTRY'S GNP is WASTED in these foolish pursuits.

Heck, without gazillions spent on professional sports (athletes 
produced by universities with PhD's no doubt), we'd have no
television..............hmmmm! : )

I really HAVE TO LAUGH when 100 spectators severely wound or nearly 
kill themselves while attending European socker games.  

Sports truly is PROOF how dumb and hormone driven most humans really
are!

If I've offended anyone, this post has served its intelectual purpose.
