Honestly, though, I don't mind if people enjoy sport. I just wish they'd keep it to themselves--out of the paper, off the TV and the streets--and pay for it themselves. I bet the publishing (or music) industry doesn't get half the tax breaks and funding as sport. We don't have a National Writing Institute, despite the amount of export dollars writing brings in. Etc.
I could rant on all day, but I won't in case Justine comes and hits me over the head with a cricket bat. :-)
