Greg,

I'm not quite clear on this...  How is watching a spectator sport a
development of either the mind or the body?  I guess slogging down pints at
the game, and running (er, trampling) crowds, all out brawls, could be
considered development of the body...  And, certainly body development can
be achieved by yelling at the top of your lungs while jumping up and down,
better than an hour long aerobic class...and you might even learn some new
words...so I guess mind development might ensue...

Now, before someone gets all a dither here (or more a tether than they
already are), I am not in any way criticizing organized sporting events, or
the spectatorship thereof...simply questioning how it is either development
of the mind and/or body...

If you were schlepping your Leica and all the lenses about, scampering about
the sidelines simply to get spectacular shots, well, that, obviously, is
pretty good mind and body development ;-)

Austin
