Default "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.

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

Cycling is not a sport? Who gives a **** if some fat assed so called
writer doesn't think it's a sport. Anyone who gets out on the bike in
the early morning to ride or who trains to race in the local criteriums
knows it's a sport. If by OUR definition it's a sport.... It's a sport.
He obviously hasn't spent even 1 minute to see what cycling is all about
or the article would not have been written. Don't waste one more minute
getting upset with this moron. He's not worth it............
