That is typical of this country. We seem to put a greater priority on things of rather little importance than recognise what is important and supporting these things. This unhealthy obsession with sport is one example of this. Now I'm a sports fan, but I've never been so obsessed with sport that I've let it take over everything else....which it seems to have with much of the population. You have to create a balance in your interests otherwise you become obsessed with something to the point it begins to become an illness. We've become a nation of relatively uneducated dullards, more worried about whether the team wins and getting off our faces at the pub than being concerned with becoming better educated and informed about the world around us.

I'd much rather spend 1/2 an hour listening to something interesting and educational on the TV or radio than act like a drunken yahoo at a football game or race track...and waste my money in the process.
