Sports and sports culture takes a beating in Brother Bowman's latest
post. I wonder why? Why has the list's most surgical wit set aside his
scalpel and taken up a baseball bat?
Between "quite strange to the rest of us on this side of the Atlantic"
and "to me," there's another ocean yet.
Sports and sports talk can be as infectous as laughter (which is perhaps
a very fitting metaphor for sports): one person plunges into guffaws
and soon the whole room is howling. Now, surely there's a difference
between a sports fan and a football hooligan? Is it a matter of
degree?
And why this reduction of Baseball to "sports culture"? I know next to
nothing about baseball, but I say with confidence that it's quite a bit
bigger than a bunch of guys, gloves, balls, bases and statistics.
