Let's come back to reality now. To those few of us who do not give a rat's ass about football, the game appears to be nothing more than a bunch of burly men banging into each other. But football fans will tell us that there is much more to it than that. Racing fans don't watch racing for the crashes any more than football fans watch football for the injuries. Yes, they happen, but no one goes looking for the stretcher.
Some people go looking for the stretcher.
There's always somebody. But most fans are in it for the sportsmanship, just like any other sport. Racing fans get really wrapped up in their favorite drivers, too. Anyone who has not noticed this needs to venture forth from the cubicle more often. Imagine if Dale Earnhardt were killed.
