A Glaring Omission or No?

I was glancing down the list of sections on iBratt a few minutes ago and realized that there is no "Sports" section.

Now, I know that sports is perhaps not on the top of the mind of most of the iBrattleboro geeky lefty quasi-intellectual types (myself included, unfortunately, in that heap) but really now...
Even I enjoy a little Red Sox action once in a while, or certainly a good soccer (football) game, and certainly there are local teams that might engender a hint of interest.

Heck, I happen to know that many participants in iBratt have played a game of Ultimate or two - that's almost a sport (except when you are playing in sandals or barefoot, in which case you knock yourself out of the sport category and into the hippy pastime category).

And gosh, even DJ Rabid Angel told me recently that he plans to go on a hike (albeit dressed in full goth regalia), like, OUTSIDE, and that sounds pretty sporting to me.

So I say let's add "Sports" as a category and see if it can kick "Pets" ass or not, or even the anemic "Home & Garden" section.

But wait - lets call it "Sport" like they do in England, cause that's so much cooler and well suited to us superior New England types.

Just a thought...

oh but wait, there is 'Recreation' - but that's just far too vague, don't you think? And not very enticing...
SO, let's add SPORT and change Recreation to PROCREATION, and then we'll have something!

Timmy has spoken.
