As a County tennis player myself I have an inkling of what it take,s in terms of hard work, for Andy Murray to win Wimbledon.
Yet, we should review the real meaning and significance of sport.
It is a game, a business, a mass-media event but compared to the worlds of politics and
diplomacy, some argue, it is pure innocence.
So do we love Sport not only because it is pure escapist innocence but because it is cakes and circuses too? There is a theory that sport ever ancient Athens is a device to keep the
populace quiet. You know, pay your taxes and be content for you have the football to look forward
to at the weekend.
