Sportsman

Ever wonder what the definition of sportsman is? Seems a bit wide ranging sometimes. Sure, we could look it up and paste a variety of meanings but regular visitors know that's not what we're talking about here.

The English language is riddled with doing something "for sport" and "sport fishing" (as opposed to what those unsporting folks do with rods and reels), not to mention offering "a sporting chance" to another.

And then we have those special hunters (as in short bus special) who are convinced that compound bows are an acceptable tool. We guess that the killing part would take a while. Maybe that's the point. How do we even pretend this practice is any different than Rome's coliseums?
