And it's one of the few things involving competition that holds interest for me.
I never see a good reason to discuss semantics in any context.

Now that I can get behind. While I personally have no use for motor racing, that does not mean that other people do not, and I can respect that.
However, as Rush Limbaugh is wont to say between pills, "Words Mean Things," so I get irritated when motor racing is called a sport. Though it may fit a strict definition of the word, I do not believe it fits the spirit.
Still, you like your racing, and that's great. My folks, who are northeast liberal intelligencia par excellance, are big NASCAR fans. Never have understood it.
