I'm sitting on the fence here so I'm going to quote Ghandi: An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves the world blind and toothless.

I have just been reading all the comments and can't get over how stupid you are - I just can't wrap my head around it...

urapussybich --> I don't completely agree with the person that wrote the statement you 'attempted' to dispute - but I know his statement is ten times more intelligent than yours. I believe this website is for stating your opinion on the topic, not another users athletic ability - if you want to do that go back to Facebook where you belong.

Now...to clarify the 'sport is too competitive' comment - I think you may have meant that sport has lost it's appeal for people who want to exercise or just enjoy themselves because the money that comes with winning make the sport all about winning, which is one of the aims of sport but definitely not the entire purpose.

I believe that even though the commercialisation of sport has many good points such as promoting the sport, revenue for countries etcetera, it unfortunately takes away the traditional and admittedly less popular aspects of a sport. I may be biased in saying this but I know this from a real life experience. I participate in Surf Life Saving Australia - and I try my best in all of the events offered including the traditional events; Rescue and Resuscitation and March Past. These two events are about remembering the history of the lifesavers that protect our beaches and keeping the tradition alive. The tradition is the aspect that causes many people to admire Surf Life Savers for their efforts. If we lose this tradition we lose the unique quality and importance the sport holds, in turn losing members of clubs which is counterproductive to promoting the organisation. I have a lot more to add, unfortunately I have to work on a school assignment due tomorrow - bye!
