i havent been able to get this qoute just right, i think it is from ernest hemmingay about how there are 3 true sports that all other sports can fall under. pretty sure he made reference to old greek olympic sports about how there the three pure sports.

1 - racing: 40 yd dash, marathon, horse/car racing, swimming, etc.

2 - fighting: boxing, wrestling etc.

3 - ??????: i forgot what the 3rd one is and havent been able to remeber it for a few years now and its killing me. i hope its not something tongue and cheek like golfing.

IF ANYONE KNOWS THIS QUOTE AND KNOWS THE 3RD TRUE SPORT PLEASE HELP ME..

go skins!
