I suspect that by and large you are right. But I do know a number of c-g-f
members who participate in various sports.
[Warning - never let Gerry Kearns challenge you to a game of squash! :-)]
Is this just an extension of societal antipathy to sport or is it a
particular form of academic snobbery? :-)
I must say I no longer play as much or at the same elite levels of the
past. :-( Trying to get a PhD finished rules that out!
