fantastic posts general.
I will have more time this evening to respond more properly.
with respect to tennis in America, it is the cultural dynamics at play as well. and we can add to that the money factor.
players outside top 300 are starving to death. they have to beg, borrow, and steal just to make it.
they have to live with friends and relatives or sleep on the subway.
that is not the case in baseball, basketball, and football.
also you are on the tele every single week if you are playing football for bigger schools like Alabama, florida, texas, and the like.
you start getting huge exposure very early on in football.
team sports, for the americans, are vital to develop tomorrow's leaders.
I will have more to say on this later tonight.
