We need more cycling on TV and less basketball, baseball, and football, so our kids learn better sportsmanship.
Absolutely agree. In Basesball, the winning team actually lines up and shakes their own teammates hands (WTF???)...I am always confused by that stupidity...At leat in HOCKEY they are men enough to shake hands with the other team after beating each other senseless for 60 minutes (same as in boxing).
Cycling is a much higher standard than most sports. Realistically, the show of respect that Jan offered Lance yesterday could ultimately cost him the TDF. Yet Jan knows that to win the race under such pretenses would forever soil the Yellow Jersey! (Same as Lance did 2 years ago).
As far as Tyler goes, He has ALWAYS been a class act. I am hoping that we will be seeing him in yellow some day as well.
