You should probably stop watching sports. Or any form of competition for that matter. Numbers and records is a big part of it.....
No it isn't
It is very vain looks on things
Sport is about achievements. Achievements that cannot be measured in numbers. About suffering, sacrifices and comebacks.
Buddy Lazier was milimetres away from becaming double quadriplegic, yet he became Indy500 winner in less than two months. How do you measure that with numbers.
Niki Lauda was a goner, even received his Last Rites. Rejected them fondly and went on to win two more titles. How do you measure that with numbers?
Davey Allison almost died at Pocono, came back, drove with shattered arm, lost a brother, climbed in a helicopter and lost a life. Ernie Irvan came and drove for him. Than crashed and almost died himself. Came back and drove again. How do you measure that with numbers.
Junior carried the burden of his last name throughout most of his carrer. The burden cracked and burned him. Destroyed him. But the nation cheered. And cheered. How do you measure that in numbers?
