John Welbourn, MA Biography
- Title:
- Former NFL offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles
- Position:
- Con to the question "Is Golf a Sport?"
- Reasoning:
-
“While simple and probably wrong, my cut off for sport and non-sport comes with age and sobriety. Young fit individuals play sports. And if you can improve your ability by consuming alcohol it probably is not a sport. You don’t see 60-year-old accountants in goofy pants padded up playing football on Sundays. If a group of old out of shape men can get together, drink a 12 pack of beer, and play golf, then you have a hard time convincing me it is a sport.”
