I have had a lifelong love of the big three, having played for many years, coached my children, owned season tickets, etc. etc. How many horse racing fans have actually participated in the sport beyond betting or spectating? Not many. But a huge percentage of "ball sports" fans have actually experienced the sport they love. I live in horse country, and have an appreciation for the animals and the people who raise and ride them, but I'm not silly enough to put them down (in any fashion) just because I enjoy "ball sports" more. <br />You at least put a cynical smile on my face when I imagined you on your high "horse" with your pockets turned out after making some bad bets. Get it? Nah, you probably don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-28073986015649483242010-02-14T18:02:58.021-05:002010-02-14T18:02:58.021-05:00Very well stated Greg, and Joe B for that matter!
...Very well stated Greg, and Joe B for that matter!<br /><br />I cringe every time horse racing is brought up on PTI or Around the Horn because it usually becomes the butt of a joke. I'll give Wilbon a bit of a pass for being apathetic, but Tony Kornheiser is outright hostile to the sport. Ironic because he writes for the Washington Post which had two of the best sports writers to ever cover horse racing: the late Shirley Povich and Andy Beyer. Of course, Kornheiser doesn't have a clue to what he's talking about no matter what sport is being discussed.<br /><br />Keep firing away my friend..Steve Mundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610339768009395207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6037940159956945489.post-6846573470968525222010-02-14T16:15:05.566-05:002010-02-14T16:15:05.566-05:00ESPN is to sports in the same way KFC is to chicke...ESPN is to sports in the same way KFC is to chicken. NTRA/Breeders Cup signing on with ESPN/ABC for the breeder's cup and other major races was the worst decision they ever made.joseph bnoreply@blogger.com
