Golf and tennis especially with the Spaniards,other foreigners,Davis Love the 3rd,Charles Howell the 3rd,Jim Nantz are just becoming waaaayyyyyyyyyyy to Thurston Howel the 3rdish!!!!Ever see their parents in the stands at tennis matches?These aren't real people,these are people that own wineries.The mothers look like the tennis players and golfers younger sisters.Then it's required that no one has emotions or god forbid ever smiles.They are always reserved and subdued and scowling.Tennis and golf have a real image problem and that's why the sports are suffering in tv ratings and ordinary people partaking in them.Not one of these types would have become a pro tennis player of golfer if they attended public school in a major american city. They wouldn't only have been bullied,they would have been slain.That would make a good reality show,switch kids around from the golf and tennis academies with kids from Detroit public schools.

The opposite holds true for horse racing where it's like everyone in the sport crawled out of a Louisiana swamp,lived in a trailer court all their life,drinks rot gut wisky,swam the Rio Grande on numerous occassions,can't speak fluent English even if they were born in Arkansas and where there are no lesbian female jockeys but their only boyfriends have been horses.That's why horse racing has a real problem attracting fans.

The average person-fan can't personally relate to any of these people.
