Right, and it seems to me, the Olympics will say anything is a sport, if the price is right. Snow boarding is not a sport, but it is a bunch of holligans who committed a lot of vandalism during the Olympics. But, on soccer, I will admit that it takes a well conditioned body to run up and down a field for a few hours. But honestly, there is not much extra skill beyond that. as long as you learn the basics, and are well conditioned and fast. For exam,ple, in overtime, when they have the penalty kicks, it seems like the goalie is hardly even there, that the winner is the team that doesn't mess up the kick. Nothing special required, except for confidence. And, while you can get away with choking under pressure in these sports, you do it in racing and your life is in danger.
