I didn't miss the point of the article....I agree with the article. I was just adding another prespective in support.
Admittedly I'm not in alignment 100% with Mr. McGuane. I agree that there are elements on the extreme that are as he states, seen them, but I am not so sure that it is the main problem within the sports identity. I feel the true loss of identity is in the fact that too many are detached from the natural world "except" for the fact that they fly fish.
Likewise, I have to admit, that if this were still a sport only of the "Tweed set"....I most likely would not be associated with it. My corporate attire doesn't even include a tie, and if it's not made in denim, or come in a "hoodie" or ballcap....I probably don't own it. LOL While I have enjoyed a lifelong love for the outdoors and the places that trout inhabit....I am far from "Genteel". And the closest I get to tweed....is an affinity for Guiness.
