I've got a full copy of the Herald article here:
iTamer’s Simple SEO » Mallard has his head in the sand! just incase the Herald restrict access to the original:
New Zealand Herald - PC sport thing of the past, Mallard says - Wednesday 28, June 2006 22:34.00 PM
Basically Mallard is saying that all sports keep score and the "we don't want to be competitive days are over". Well, that's crap. It still happens.
I see it at school and at club sports.
Have I hit the few laggards or does everyone else see this too?
