Well, it's not very sociable of me but it is a social matter.
It's all part of the general devaluation of many areas of human endeavour. The value of sport has been enhanced to patronise the public by making working class heroes out of ordinary people. Darts will be next. Then stamp collecting. I suppose that's better than the er, anomaly, of a certain P. Green being knighted with his record of public benefaction. Priorities of those that have the influence over these things are questionable and it's tempting to criticise choices. It does seem to be mainly concerned, although there are exceptions, with the amount of money generated one way or another and rarely as a result of genuine personal endeavour or in fields of improving the lives of others. But then life is not meant to be fair or equitable. A more suitable recognition for sportsmen and women might be statues at or near their 'Field of Dreams'.

Thanks WillyH, all duly noted along with your reluctance to provide requested and relevant info. You sound angry, I hope I haven't contributed to that.
