This is one of the dumbest articles I’ve read in months.
I could almost feel my IQ dropping with each passing sentence.
(Yeah, I know -- global warming doesn't exist. Then why do I wake up in a cold sweat every night in the dead of winter?)
If I remember correctly night sweats are a symptom of AIDS.
Maybe he really doesn't like guy stuff!
We do, you ignorant dumbass "sportswriter"
I agree with you. Entertainment comes in many forms. And even though you and I may relish the skill and strategy of a baseball game, let’s face it, it’s high priced entertainment for the unwashed masses. Sporting events are food basically engorgement opportunities and a chance to live your fantasies through others. So be it.
If we could we could stop liberalism too. And that would be a good thing.
As usual, Rush saw this early-on with his brief encounter with the sportscasting world. But now it starts to come to the surface so the "rest of us mortals" can now see it too.

Ha. I wanna see someone come down to Charlotte Motor Speedway and tell the people this.
I’m guessing limousine lefty. If he truly believes in what he says... sell the house, cut off from the grid, dump the car(s), put up your solar panel and good luck to you.
Wonder how much gas & oil are burned for all the entrants to get to these poker fests?
I’d agree the auto racing world is heading towards a dead-end but nothing to do with green politics. It used to be ordinary people could soup up the Dodge in their own garage and head for the track. Now unless you have multinational conglomerates paying the freight, you can’t afford to get any closer to the track then the stadium seats.
Teams of cars are fielded with stooges to suppress the opposition and make a hole for the “star” to coast to victory. Instead of man to man competition, it’s “Tide” vs Extenz. It would be nice if the sport could return to the people, not just the boardrooms.
Millions of people are at home in front of a TV for four or five hours on Sunday watching NASCAR. If they weren’t doing thet, they would be out driving to the mall or driving around on their boats, etc. NASCAR saves fuel. We need more NASCAR to prevent global warming.
That explains a hell of a lot.
Interesting article from 1974 about cutting Daytona laps down.

In a nutshell, it was done at the request of federal energy officials.
“It’s just a wasteful, reckless, unnecessary, ozone-destroying exercise”
This can describe any sport imaginable.
Not to mention how much energy is burned in those Vegas casinos keeping them cool and illuminating their massive signage.
There is no such thing as Global Warming so the Carbon Footprint is a mirage. If people want to watch it so what, go back to riding bicycles and leave America alone. What a Maroon.
Pray for America
My guess is that market forces will greatly reduce or kill off most of the major spectator sports within 5 or 10 years. I won’t miss them. Many years ago, I thought it was worth money to watch guys drive in a circle, but not so much now.
All is not lost. The rednecks can still pick their banjos. (He said as he glanced lovingly at his Ramsey custom 5 string.)
