Walnut Creek isn't exactly a poor area. In fact, every time I go, I am overwhelmed by the outlandish displays of materialism. I can never get out of there fast enough and get back home to South County, where people don't care about that kind of stuff....
Mike's point keeps bouncing around, so it's hard ot tell what it is. He started of by saying the pool of particiapnts is very small. I don't think this is true, at least as compared to many other Olympic sports. Then he started talkking about it's economic exclusivity, which probabyl is true, but which may not have much to do wiht the number of particiapnts.
