Hmmm... Don't really know what to say about that one... Other than to agree with your 'Grrrrrrrr.....'!!!

I guess thats what happens when journalists report on something they know nothing about.

I couldn't get the link to work but Al said it was something about indoor windsurfing being stupid! Here's what teh BBC think......

I see what you mean by Grrrr. I would really like to go and see an indoor event......surley it has to be better than sitting miles away on a wet and windy beach and then pretending you could see what was happening and that you could tel who was who!

It is a particularly badly informed article.

the main reason that we dont have many major sporting events is that the press in this country like nothing more than to piss on everything .......

I can see where he is coming from obscure sports but he is well off base the windsurfing as we all know is an exhibition and only that indoor canoeing is called canoe polo a fast and quite violent sport( I loved it as a kid )

Indoor rowing well I dont know about you but theres no chance of rowing after work this time of year and with club fees ect rowing on a machine in the gym surrounded by chicks in hot lycra has some appeal esp when you can compete with people through out the country on the website

basicaly he is typical of his type and has taken the moto never let the truth get in the way of the story

And some more Grrrrrrr.

Probably just a sad ghit who sits behind a desk writting about sport but rarely stepping outside the office - just turns to transworld sport or sky and writes sh¬°t on what he sees.
