Overkill? maybe. But this also could be a small example of a big problem. Intolerance of people different than yourself. And as for sportsmanship, I've seen worse sportsmanship out of some of the "good ol' boys" than I ever have from the likes of Ike. Reminds me of Julius Erving and Michael Jordan (after all fishing these days IS only a sport) There were many people who hated their flashy ways. Said they corrupted the purity of the game. Now granted, the NBA has gone to thug hell but not because of these two classy guys who are among the best the sport has ever seen. Now, I am not saying that I have anything whatsoever against the old fashioned "good ol' boys" but how about we remember that they make up about .00001% of the world population. And our culture and etiquette is not the same as that of others. Let's allow all forms of entertainment and self expression and you choose which is acceptable for you. I'll watch Ike and you watch Houston or whatever.
As for strict Christian ethics, I'm glad you have faith but I must remind you of all the evils that have been done in the name of strict Christian ethics. The crusades for example. Jesus was accepting of ALL types of people. He never asked us to all look and act the same. But here, we have romanized, americanized, southernized christian religion which looks a lot like Pharisees. But I digress............

Bet we'd get along just fine in a boat.
