Oh yes, I was not limiting it to sports by any means. Another thing I try and never do is

make any kind of negative comment about someone performing whether it be sports or the arts, acting, singing etc.


One time years ago Elton John, one of the most talented human beings to ever live, remarked that contrary to what others were saying at the time HE was a BIG fan of Britney Spears and that all the negativity about here was unnecessary and wrong.

He made the point as I would that it is not my type of music, but to achieve what she has achieved in any "arts" is amazing, etc.

I dont like some types of music myself and I like many more than I dont. But I dont criticize the music or the talent. I might say FUCK YOU to a singer songwriter who makes it clear they love magats and trump and rightwing garbage, but I wont attack the music itself.
