LazySummerDays

This article completely misses the point. Comparing various aspects of other sports, especially team sports to DHMB is ridiculous. It's the old comparing apples to oranges argument. As far as I can tell the main reason a particular sport is enjoyable is that it allows us to be completely absorbed in the moment. Whatever the sport may be, if we're focusing all our thoughts and energy on the next second or two at the longest, it clears the mind of all clutter. Participation in a variety of sports may give one a different perspective than the narrow minded slant of this article. Being a skier, soccer player, hockey player, mountain biker, squash player or whatever else piques my interest at the time, I could argue that any one of those is the best depending on my preference that day. It still wouldn't make any sense to someone that preferres a different sport though. I wonder if the author of this article rides his/her bike up the hill to ride down.
