Sports Categories

I've had a lot of time today to devote to my internal dialogue of random and useless thinking as United's flight plans have been a bit "mussed." United and I need to have a chat - I was bumped from my 1st [direct] flight, the 1st portion of my rescheduled flight was ok, the 2nd portion of my rescheduled original flight was cancelled, I was bumped from my rescheduled 2nd portion, and my re-re-scheduled 2nd portion has been delayed 4 hours... 4 different problems, and YES, I'm counting. I digress.

In all this spare time, I have given some thought to Tennis and other sports people enjoy. I've come to the conclusion that there are 3 general categories people fall into with regards to Sports People Like to Play.

a) People who like Tennis,
b) People who don't like Tennis, and
c) People who don't like sports

I belong to the second category. Now, I'm not sure if this is a throw-back to the controlling, narcissistic PE teacher I had in 10th grade and her desire to Force tennis onto people, but I do NOT like tennis. Its closer, really, to abhoring it. I don't like all that tennis stands for, nor is a particularly interesting and fun sport to play.

Plus, who names a score "Love"?
