Swimming parents seem rather like tennis parents – any bad parents near a kids’ sporting field really. It’s supposed to be fun, but the stakes are so high these days. Maybe it’s professionalism that’s to blame, but I guess sport has always been sponsored, one way or another.

Still, while money explains Woolmer’s death (it would appear at this stage), it doesn’t explain soccer hooligans.

And lets not talk about soccer hooligans, what the heck is that all about? I enjoy my sport, killing someone or destroying property is’nt a part of that enjoyment.

……..or having to wonder if a performance is believable.

I liked this line “That it tells our stories. It is no more crooked or virtuous than those who play it.”

How people approach amatuer sports is very revealing about their lives. See it every year in 7th grade cricket.

Yes, hope it what keeps you going.
