Or we can all get of our soapbox, pull our heads out of our arses, realize
that this writer writes everything with tongue placed firmly in cheek (a
glance at ESPN.com once in awhile will testify to this), and go on with our
lives. I fail to understand why everyone gets so worked up over something
so trivial. It's not like he was advocating running over cyclists. He
expressed his opinion that cycling is not a sport. Big deal. He has an
opinion. Now move along.

We can all send these bozos letters telling them about how great cycling
is, and how stupid and close-minded they are for writing their silly
columns without knowing anything about cycling at all. I think it gets them
off to get a bunch of whiny letters from the people they probably meant to
offend in the first place.
But better than that, we can write to them and tell them that we have
written to their advertisers, and recommended that they stop advertising
with people who write such drivel. I dropped an email to both REI and
Cycling Adventures and encouraged them to stop advertising with the site
that carries the "Betting Fool." We all know the media responds to its
advertisers more than it responds to the public.
Hit them where it hurts.
