football as we KNOW it now, will die (maybe not in 10 years, but it will die)

It will be replaced by robots/cyborgs, and be much more "violent" since no one is really going to get hurt.

I have never claimed to be currently in law school.

I have never seen a baseball throw itself towards a batter, a football rise off the ground and hurtle towards a receiver, or a basketball put itself in a hoop - so what is your point?

ESPN and other cable channels often broadcast fishing competitions.

Fishing is a competitive sport - and people do watch the people who compete in the events.

People watch equestrian events(show jumping, dressage, ect...) at other times besides the Olympic Games, and horse racing is technically "horseback riding".

What is the NHRA if not "hot rodding"?

Even poker has become a spectator sport.

Seems like you need to become more educated about the wide world of sports.

The wide world of diffrence between you and I is I do it and you watch it....I have never watched a fishing tourney from the sidelines,have watched a few rodeos from the fence and the NHRA is strictly a big money game so I run boats and also do not compete as a spectator in THAT sport either...so your point is moot and the only one still showing is the one on top of your dome...btw..unlike most on here,I like to know who I'm having a battle of wits with and so I read your profile...when I saw you had Ronnie Raygun as your hero I realized I was battling an unarmed person and the game is no longer fun

I am a competitive runner - so i most certainly do "do it".

You are the one who claimed that fishing, equestrian events, and NHRA weren't spectator sports, and i proved you wrong.

Deal with it.

Couldn't schools and teams simply make participants sign waivers not to sue. I had to sign something like that when I went skydiving.

Actually, my running shorts are rather baggy and 100% polyester.

My shirts are made of cotton.

As usual lefties have only name calling. And don't have what it takes to run distance nor to compete. What else is new. Carry on, liberal.
