I watch baseball and golf, find other sports, both american & european, to be boring. Too bad the european bandwagon of u.s.-hating had to roll through here, doesn't reflect well on one's intellect to feel strongly about something simply because everyone else does for a few months.

Answer: "They're boring."

Well guess what? We find tennis and soccer boring.

Now die.

When did auto racing become a physical sport? Auto racing is a motor sport.
An open-wheel driver can lose up to 20 pounds during a race from dehydration. He is continuously sustaining a g-load in at least one direction and usually in two. He has to monitor everything that is going on anywhere near him on the track and be able to react in milliseconds. The only job that requires more skill in reaction and monitoring of surroundings is that of a fighter pilot.

somewhat off topic, but I think most of the top drivers from F1 to nascar are probably better athletes than most fighter pilots. Reason being, I know a handful of fighter pilots; none of them are stupid and all of them would be rather be making millions of dollars racing cars if they could.
