| Geez, I forgot plain ordinary flying. So Simple.  It would have included ballooning too. I'll come out right now and say I have never flown in any planes except for passenger jets. Really. But I do like model planes, something tangible to have around.

| You didn't mention whether you mean watching or participating. That does make a difference. And, Tim.. I do not consider American Football a sport. It's a very big business. Charles

| Charles, very true, it is a big business. But that is only at the higher levels (college, Pro, maybe some high school). For the most part, for most that play it, it is a sport. The level of it's success as a business is a testament to the business abilities of those that promote it and the viability as a sport. The fact that a ton of money is made from it, should not depreciate the sport itself. IMHO |

| IMHO as soon as a "sport" involves a pro athlete is becomes a business as opposed to a true sport. Granted these pro athletes are very gifted, but I'm afraid the emphasis is on glamour and profits.

| Hunting - primarily birds now but Africa and Alaska experience way up there. I played football for scholarship but live bird shooting is where I gravitated after a lot of years shooting International Skeet and Trap. Columbaire pigions will be decided in 10 bird race 95% of the time. Box birds in Spain, Portugal, Andolusioa, Mexico and US is where the money is. Cowboys, Detroit Red Wings and New York baseball Giants when May was playing - Zurinov and Petrov for beaking the first 200x200 in International skeet and Matt Dryke for making it look easy.

| cchesse, I meant "Flying" as flying a plane yourself, but of course seeing other people fly planes is pretty cool. You can sit back and relax then........
