Just out of an abiding curiosity more than anything else I'd love to know what sport, if any, does Michael Ignatieff enjoy with a passion.
It seems that during the past week we have had a few stories about leaders as rabid fans - jock sniffers just seems rude. Last weekend Barack Obama went to a college basketball game in Washington and did some on-air TV coverage. Last night Stephen Harper did a "hot-stove" session in Saskatoon with hockey legends Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky.
While I have seen the Liberal Leader at a hockey game before I have no idea if that is his glass of sherry. He has a right to privacy when it comes to his sporting pursuits. Just curious.
Is he practicing his water-skiing al la Jean Chretien so as to showcase his athletic prowess and vigor? I'd caution him against a jet-ski and wetsuit; that never goes well.
In all the reading I have done about the man I have never picked up his jock jibe - other than the occasional yearning for yoga. Nothing wrong with that.
Tell me if your inclined, Mr. Ignatieff, is it a day at Ashes that does it for you, an afternoon in Twickenham, an evening at Wembley Stadium, court-side at Flushing Meadow, the bleachers in Dodger Stadium, sidelines at the Rose Bowl, ring-side at Madison Square Garden or center-ice at the Bell Centre that turns your crank? Forgot taking in basketball on the parquet floors at the old Boston Garden; that was also supposed to be pretty special.
Anyway, you get my drift.
Help us understand you a little better.
