CAMELOT FANTASIES

Thanks to both of you, Lady TT and General Hercules for your very kind comments.

General Hercules certainly has a firm grasp of knowledge on US sports and what makes them tick.  I know he is or was a big football fan.  I was more of a baseball fan, and then hockey, football to a lesser extent, especially after the early 1990's, and basketball the least.  Tennis probably came after baseball for me until the late 90's.

Curiously enough, that is probably the order of sports that I played the most when I was younger.  I played baseball as an outfielder for the most part (center, left) and competed up to the minor leagues.  Tennis, college level.  Hockey, high school.  Football, neighborhood.

Personally, I think there is too much money in the major sports today.   But people continue watching and therefore pumping advertising and attendance revenue back into the sport, so it's no wonder.  I'm curious to hear more specifics on the "culture" as general hercules calls it.

As I said, in the US, I think that they should try some different things to try to improve tennis participation at an earlier age and viewership.  League tennis (team) might be a good way to go.  As general Hercules said, the US is very team oriented in sports.  I know that they have had team tennis at a professional level, but I would like to see it tried in the younger grassroots level.
