Anyone else losing interest in the World Cup?
I’ll take an interest in soccer when Pele announces he’s taking up the pole vault. Enough said. But that’s not the only event going on these days. In San Diego this weekend, police and firefighters from around the Western United States will compete in a bunch of sports (including track and field). This seems to be the latest multisport festival that nips at the heels of masters track. Corporate games and Senior Olympics have long competed with USATF Masters for entrants. Maybe this accounts for the declining numbers we’ve been seeing in USATF meet attendance. It’s a puzzlement. But at least it means opportunities for more people.
