Yes true. BUT, those are ACTIVITIES NOT outdoor competitive SPORTS where you push yourself to the limit under the sun and humidity. Sure I have done yoga and book reviews and movie reviews indoors in the A/C. The book club does NOT put on gloves and go 3 rounds in a ring to argue about the value of a certain book.
.........Activities and competitive KICK-ASS sports are 2 different things!
.........Do bowlers EVEN break a sweat? How about the billiards players? And the poetry club? Do they run a mile race and then sit down and read poetry in the A/C.........................I don't think so.
..........Maybe the residents that do the ACTIVITY of beating up a large rubber ball with a stick DO break out into a little sweat. But, who are they competing with? Yes.....themselves........but that is NOT COMPETITIVE pushing.

:agree:

For the most part, your wish has been granted. You're just pontificating now to get a rise out of people.

I am trying my best to be informative. The problem is that MY point of view and questioning of status quo items are NOT what the average resident and the Villages Chamber of Commerce wants to hear. (if there is a Chamber here?)

Ummm, wondering if this is one of those activities that seniors do that make them look foolish?

You’re not trying to be informative. You’re trying to cram your views down everyone’s throat by your incessant posting. There is no reason to reply to almost every post in a thread to make your point. It just comes across as you believing that your opinion matters more than everyone else’s. You have 30 posts in this thread, twice as many as anyone else. You either feel that you’re more important or you’re not very good at getting your point across.

Same thing at a tennis match. SPLAT he hit the asphalt and was bleeding from the face.
........They were engaged in an outdoor COMPETETIVE activity in the summer heat. That is WAY, WAY, different than driving to Publix with the A/C on. Maybe someday the outdoor activities players will have INDIVIDUAL A/C, but it is NOT yet developed.
Probably wouldn't have happened if they were playing golf...
