Partly because of that I think people buy into the tribal aspects of being so "branded" as goofy-looking by, well, everyone else and get militant about it. "By God, if I'm gonna wear spandex and a diaper in public, I'll be a PROUD member of the diaper-wearing geeks who walk into the cafe on their heels!"

Beyond that, it's the sport where skinny little smart people can actually kick sand in the face of the big lunk football-player types that tormented them in high school.
