"Cycling is not a sport"
It took a while, but we have one of our first "cycling is not a sport"
articles of the year, along with a healthy dose of anti-Lanceism: http://sports.espn.go.com/page2/s/armstrong/030718.html The author doesn't actually seem to have watched any of this year's tour, but that's not surprising, as those that write this kind of drivel rarely know what they are talking about. |

They're just trolling. Note that ESPN printed that article less than a week after naming LA the Male Athlete of the Year at the ESPY awards. Also interesting is that the author is a sports columnist for the Denver Post. One of his colleagues there, Woody Paige, is on that show "Around The Horn" on ESPN (comes on before Pardon the Interruption). Anyway, just a few days ago, Woody got "face time" at the end and used it to talk about how the best story of the Tour is Tyler Hamilton. He was excited. So this guy probably got his balls busted by Woody at the office and wrote that **** in response. NS It's an old gag ... the newspaper weenies trot this stuff out every year, the same way the Clear Channel deejays retread their "door the cyclists" ratings-boosters. Get a bunch of hate mail and score yourself a raise (unless, of course, you write for a bike magazine). Cheers, Patrick O'Grady Staff Infection VeloNews |

That one isn't even a very convincing piece of tabloid journalism .

"Cycling is not a sport"
I sure hope this isn't the "all-American" opinion. Else all hope is lost
(for Americans that is ;-)). I find sports fascinating, also if they arent practiced or popular in my country. I try to get to know sports I'm not familiar with, and each time I find that new sports also offer excitement, strategy etc. -- www.weblock.tk Enjoy the Tour de France LIVE on your Desktop!
