Well said, I have a feeling that theadvancedapes would agree with your assessment of the 21st century. As I've mentioned countless times here, I am now a tennis player. Between games I drink a lot of water. If there were such a thing as a pill that I could put in that water that enhanced my electrolytes (I sweat A LOT) I would use it. What's that you say? Such a thing already exists! -Is that a performance enhancing drug? Is water? Lot's of gray in these things. I also agree that the fun in watching professional sports is to see people performing at the peak of that profession. It's the same reason to go see a concert pianist etc. There's mastery and artistry at work there.
