What is your favorite sport

[Wiscon_Mark]

You still aren't getting what I'm saying. I don't know where I said "sport drivers" are any worse than athletes. I just said they aren't, and Dan and Webster cleared that up even more. I also don't know why you are on this NASCAR tip, wtf are you talking about, I think that's the worse "racing" out there.

1. I know exactly what you said. And nowhere did I claim you said they are worse than athletes.

2. Why am I on this Nascar 'tip'? Because Nascar IS the automotive event that's always under such hot debate, and the one that gets ESPN attention. Most of the arguments aren't about Rally Drivers, or F1, they're about Nascar. I agree, I think it's one of the lower forms of racing. I don't know how you didn't get that from my post.

I took a very netural post and pointed out that the view is going to be different for everyone, and that's OK. I don't know how you can make it out like I'm trying to argue with everyone. I think you're so wound up in the argument that you're reading way too much into people's posts and twisting their words.

Maybe it's time for a lock?

Trust me, it's my words being twisted. I took your NASCAR comments like I was trying to depend it or something. Lower class call it what you will, it's in motorsports, deal with it.

Theres no need for a lock, this is an off topic subject that is of topic. A bunch of guys arguing about sports (everyday life). If you don't like how this thread is going simply don't read it anymore.

I still reckon motorsports drivers are athletes in some respect.

Much like a disabled wheelchair basketballer - they may only be sitting but their brains and limbs are still moving toward achieving a goal specified within the rules of a said competition.

It might not take much "traditional" Olympian/Greek/Roman athletic ability to do it, but the mental discipline it takes is more than what the average person deals with on a day to day basis.

I doubt that even if I received 10years of driver training would I have the patience to draft behind someone for 50laps of Monaco before waiting for a 1/10th sec gap to shoot the chicane.

I'll go along with that Roger. Motorsport drivers are the handicapped athletes in the sports world

Correction - in the TRADITIONAL sports world.
