Agree.
Sport provokes so much emotion, debate and argument-even the type of sport itself!
Both golf and tennis are seen as elitist, but I play both, have been a long time member of a golf club-this costs very little-and there are plenty of either free or pay to play tennis courts near me in both Brancaster (1x in Brancaster, 2x in Brancaster Staithe and about 9x grass in Hunstanton) and Chichester.
But both sports have their inaccessible routes as well, an extreme example is Augusta in the US for golf.
But then football is becoming very expensive to watch-feck knows what a Chelsea season ticket is.
As to what is sport and what isn't, and what is worth watching and what isn't-then, similar to Tomblanders view, its all subjective.
Horse racing, motor cycling and equestrian do very little for me, but others might find they are full on tent inducing and good luck to them!
Sport, great ain't it?
