      And when you start thinking of sports that way, as being about anything that fits or just anything instead of being about a game played on a field someplace, thats when its easy to start thinking of other things less discriminantly: of sports as an arm of the entertainment industry, of the field or the court or the ice as a stage, of sports media as interactive theater, or Grand Guignol, or commedia dellarte, of Tom Arnold and the supremely awful Dennis Miller as being interesting sports personalities.
