I will get skaters to put up $100,000 to see your sorry butt drop in on a vert ramp with a Skateboard… you’ll need the cash because it will just about cover your hospital bill… you have no idea… have you ever skated? didn’t think so…
I bet you’re a fencer! En Guard!

A sport is actually defined as a physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and engaged in competitively. I appreciate Mr. Selbig’s opinion on the introduction of golf into the Olympics, but I think he has missed the mark totally. I think that Pro Golfers make it look fairly easily, but in actuality the Game of golf is more difficult in my opinion than most. To be a true sports athlete and to compete at any level requires dedication, commitment, concentration, practice and love for the game to name just a few. Golf most certainly has these qualities. Sorry Sir, but you’re out line on this one.
