I must say Larry that he does have a point with Formula One. There is
no sportsmanship among the drivers and their teams.

You don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of a knockout tournament that
begins with a group stage. The rest of the world seems to understand it
though.

Yanks would only enjoy football if the players smashed balsa-wood chairs
over each other while biting fake blood capsules, or if the managers came
onto the pitch every few minutes, threw their cap on the floor and kicked a
mound of dry dirt over the referee's shoes.

Americans don't understand anything that is a *pure* sporting contest.
Unless it's performed by glorified actors in sportswear or some kind of
contrived pantomime that pauses every 3 minutes, you can't hold their
attention long enough for them to begin to understand it. I reckon the 100
metres sprint is close to the upper limit of a Yank's concentration span,
maybe they'd be able to enjoy the 200 metres if it had a break in the middle
and a pretend fight at the finish.

Nail on the head. American sports is entertainment for children.
