Maybe I just do not understand professional sports, and by no means was I implying there should not be excitement over the championship, It's a big deal for sure. See to many people put more stock into sports than the things around them that does directly effect their lives. Maybe it's just apathy on my part.
I have a hard time equating motorcycling with sports. When a sports team wins or looses its their own personal accomplishments and failures. When I ride it's my skill, experience, accomplishment, or failure.
Won't argue about Detriot, it's worse than Cleveland for sure.
