    There are? Besides stubborness?

    I ain't a sport fan, nor a player, nor a socialologist, and I would have
    thought there were no reasonable explanations for anyone's adherence to
    baseball over soccer, or football over hockey, or whatever. I used to
    love to play baseball as a child, football too, but it was more a
    neighborhood play situation than a sport.

    Besides, how the hell can anyone play a game of any coherency with more
    than 100 players? What is this Ba Game you go on so much about?
