Rubicon, We've never met but I see you through your many posts here. You are a person of substance and character. Your selection of that piece by Fay Vincent is indicative.
I nodded my head slightly so many times during the reading of his (and I guess your) thoughts.
Among things that come to my mind is a comment by a wise person in my life. "Why can't we just enjoy a canoe ride… why does it always have to be a race?" I have good friend here who really enjoys his sport of choice in TV. He says he has found like minded guys who play for the love of it, for laughs and for relaxation. They are all refugees from other groups dominated by 'alpha males' and sports 'Nazis.'
Thanks for taking the time to share this article with those who'd be otherwise deprived of some beautiful and very important thoughts.
