Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the world of Sporting and its participants. It discusses the resentment people outside the sporting world have towards the activities and lifestyles of those within it. The author presents the opinion that this stems from a lack of understanding of the pursuits and habits of the Sporting World and comes from differing social classes. An example is provided of a woman who disdains a Sportsman for his outdoor activities, yet would welcome a man with a more sedentary or gentlemanly profession. The book suggests that women generally do not interfere with the sporting interests of men, but that they often show disdain for athletic pursuits. Despite this, the author holds that the Sporting community should not care about the thoughts of those outside of it. Instead, they should focus on the enjoyment of their activities and finding new members to join the sporting world. The book also discusses the differences between Sporting Men and True Sportsmen.
