I'll have to back up a bit for this...Nothing, I think, could be more uninteresting than a sport or game played by those who have made playing it their profession. In this I am happy to contradict the experience and the enthusiastic opinion of professional sports fans, and perhaps of most of humanity, of the past three millennia. But, stubbornly, I repeat, nothing is more intrinsically and utterly boring than a kids' game played by bought and paid-for professionals--not chariot racing, not hockey, not soccer, not basketball, not baseball, and especially not football or rugby. I do not know, and I do not care, which teams of the National Football League are playing against one another in today's "Superbowl"--and for the matter of that, I don't rightly know what the "National Football League" is. And I don't want to know.
