Manliness cont'd...

You can go back to the original manliness post, if you have forgotten that diatribe.

There was the big game today, the biggest game today. The game that is more secular than sport, if you share my home state.
That had me thinking about sports, in general.
That flowed into thinking about E. Hemmingway and his take on sport.

Ernest was of a mind that the only real sports were bullfighting, boxing and motorcycle racing.
I gotta agree with the guy, to some degree.

Those aforementioned activities will really put it to a guy.
You are earning your chonies staring down another man, a charging bull or a concrete barrier.
That guy in the black cloak is coming at you fast, in any of those situations.
The real game of chicken.

Anyway, that is Floyd Emde in that pic. He is about to demonstrate the act of manliness for a crowd at the '40 Oakland 200.
