"Cycling is not a sport"
 

It took a while, but we have one of our first "cycling is not a sport"
articles of the year, along with a healthy dose of anti-Lanceism:

http://sports.espn.go.com/page2/s/armstrong/030718.html

The author doesn't actually seem to have watched any of this year's tour,
but that's not surprising, as those that write this kind of drivel rarely
know what they are talking about.

They're just trolling.

Note that ESPN printed that article less than a week after naming LA
the Male Athlete of the Year at the ESPY awards.


Also interesting is that the author is a sports columnist for the Denver
Post. One of his colleagues there, Woody Paige, is on that show "Around
The Horn" on ESPN (comes on before Pardon the Interruption). Anyway, just
a few days ago, Woody got "face time" at the end and used it to talk
about how the best story of the Tour is Tyler Hamilton. He was excited.

So this guy probably got his balls busted by Woody at the office and
wrote that **** in response.

NS


It's an old gag ... the newspaper weenies trot this stuff out every year,
the same way the Clear Channel deejays retread their "door the cyclists"
ratings-boosters. Get a bunch of hate mail and score yourself a raise
(unless, of course, you write for a bike magazine).

That one isn't even a very convincing piece of tabloid journalism .

Don't you know that it is impolite to call names?

As far as much of the rest of the world is concerned, what I said is fairly
accurate.

Is your mom still screwing you?

Not since menopause =(

*PLONK*

I'm crushed.

I sure hope this isn't the "all-American" opinion. Else all hope is lost
(for Americans that is ;-)).

I find sports fascinating, also if they arent practiced or popular in my
country. I try to get to know sports I'm not familiar with, and each
time I find that new sports also offer excitement, strategy etc.

This guy is actually returning email, so drop him a line. He
challenged me to hit a golf ball 250 yards in return for him riding a
bike. Of course he then compared me to a Raider fan.

Sounds like he is one of those drunk Nascar fans that has no clue when
he is wrong, but typically gets his chin in the way when defender his
idiotic position.
