Value of the "profession," bereft?

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

People forget that sports should and do contribute to overall physical fitness and well-being, teamork and community.

I think Al was referring to professional sports and it stars, which promotes none of the above (well, maybe a sense of community).


Poker, on the other hand offers no sense of teamwork or community and promotes a "look out for myself only" attitude.

Wow. An endeavor that rewards self-reliance, intelligence and mental toughness. If you ask me, we need more of that in society, not less.

there is an epidemic of obesity

probably exacerbated by too many hours watching sports on TV.
