Motor Racing - another sport I no longer watch ...

[dogtag]

I was a big fan back in the fifties and sixties when drivers the
likes of Moss and Fangio would dice it up together with lots
of overtaking on difficult bends - the last one to brake would
get out in front. But gradually over the years the cars have
become so fast that overtaking is virtually impossible, and
the race is mostly won by the Pit crew who could get their car
back out there quicker than their opponent's crew.
Truth be told I suppose, it's safer now. All or most of those
old time F 1 drivers died on the track.
I never watched the turn left only circle racing.

Nascar is the same! They play follow the leader for 500 miles. I enjoy NHRA drag racing.

I have said before, I do not understand this fascination with watching someone else play a game. Now, you want to go skydiving, scuba diving, white water canoeing, sailing, hunting -- participatory sports, I'm you man.

There are a few spectator sports I enjoy. Baseball and pole dancing are the two that stick out. I can't do either very well, and there is something about them that sticks out and balls are involved so they are indeed "sports."

Pole dancing envisions trying to land that big bass IMHO.

Pole dancing has balls involved?? Just what kind of bars have you been going to? Or did you mean traditional Polish dancing where a bunch of Poles in costumes bounce around the floor trying not to laugh at the tourists? I suppose that is similar to Lapp dancing from Northern Scandinavia which is fun to watch but not quite as much as lap dancing (which you enjoy in bars of a certain type)

For Red and others who love pole dancing I recommend this video:
