Recently I posted an article to this newsgroup stating my opinion about the
validity of bowling and golf as a sport as well as tennis, and said that
I wondered what opinions others held.  Well, I got an interesting answer
today -- not from the net, but in a quote from John MacEnroe in today's
newspaper:

     "Tennis is a real sport, like baseball, football, and besketball.  Golf
      is not a sport -- it's an artistic exercise like ballet.  You can be
      a fat slob and still play golf."

Is he implying that you can be a fat slob and still dance ballet, too?
(I don't think I want to hear what he has to say about bowling.)
