Has got to carry more authenticity than being the best when your top loaded?
Tennis players, snooker players, Boxers etc win a title by being the best of the rest, with absolutely no advantages over their opponents, where as the likes of Lewis Hamilton for instance, gets to drive one of the best cars in the world. The likes of Barcelona, Man City, get to buy the best players because of their wealth.
More credit should go to champions who reach the top in a level playing field, surely?
It's like old rich men v young handsome men.
Amended for you. :hehe:Quote:

The one I wouldn't agree with is Hamilton. Even Alonso said he was the best because " He even wins races driving a BAD car".
Golf started out as an inclusive social game, hence the handicap meant players with varying skill levels could enjoy a round together, although the playing field was far from level! :biggrin:Quote:

Aren't man City / Barca ultimately a load of men who are just better than the 11 men they face though?
Sure they were thrust together by cash but all top athletes have had input by sponsors etc without which it's incredibly unlikely they would have made it to the top.
Same as horses. I've often wondered why horses can't just run all under the same weights
