[Linda Rouse]

I must say I'm with you Craig! It would be wonderful to lose sport 
from TV and all the media!

As for Paul's comment (below) - IMHO it has to be the biggest load of 
rubbish... :

>encourages people of all ages out to participate and become a bit
>healthier and engage in soical interaction, in a way that no amount of
>gym memberships and pounding the pavements in solitary jogging can achieve.

Try telling all those couch potatoes to go out and exercise!!! You 
have to be joking.. the whole point of watching sport on telly is so 
you DONT have to go anywhere at all, or think!
