I have to write and hassle this clown at MSN.. The Olympics calls cycling a sport. They know better than this moron.. Cycling is a greater part of events like the Ironman... I put up these people as super athletes against any football jock any day... Think some of those big football lugs could ride 3,000 miles through the Alps.. A sports caster has no business trashing a competitive sport such as ours.. Thanks to those that hassled this idiot..
Too many Americans do not familiarize themselves to what is not popular. I'd put up our athletes against any lug in other popular American sports for endurance for cardio-vascular fitness any day..
To me the word athlete means overall fitness. We more than meet that test..
