Ask any fat kid in gym class - sports ARE oppressive rule! :)

As a former jock, I can admit there may be a tiny bit of truth to what you say, Heather. Sports can be a bit rough on those not so inclined, but hopefully "sportsmanship" is a bit of a kinder concept.

Very true.

I am so disillusioned by this whole thing - I'm not sure where sportsmanship fits in. I know where it SHOULD, just not sure where where it DOES.
