Disputing Mr.Soltis

The March issue of Chess Life contains sentiments by GM Andrew Soltis that I've got to take issue with....

"There are people who like to compete but don't like to think a lot.They often find fufillment in sports..."
-GM Andrew Soltis on pg.10 of the March 2006 Chess Life.

I can't claim to be especially knowledgeable about sports like football,basketball,baseball,and so on but it seems like they can contain their own fair share of heavy thinking.

Just some thoughts.

It depends what sport.It even depends what position you play. In rugby the playmakers are thinking all the time whereas pretty much everyone else is just running around and tackling.

Personally I dont play sport to think, I play it for the physical activity.

Soltis is a chess savant. He is also the proud owner of a pacifier and bib, as his baseless comments can only be categorized as infantile.

Thanks for the comments.

Schtolteheim,
I'd play sport for the physical activity too but everybody's got their preferences.

Richard,
Talk about flowery!

Are you practicing your creative writing on my blog or something?
