[Vision2020] Backgammon

[Carl Westberg]

In light of the discussion about boxing, lacrosse, rugby, et al, it reminds 
me that I have been contemplating for quite some time now (since about 11:45 
this morning) starting an extreme backgammon league in Moscow.  Matches 
could perhaps be held in the 1912 building, and would be open to people of 
all religious and political persuasions.  I have not had a chance to delve 
into the statistics regarding the number of injuries or severity of injuries 
suffered during your average extreme backgammon season, but I'm confident 
they can be no worse than those sustained in boxing, lacrosse, and rugby, 
combined.  If anyone has any hard data on this, please feel free to share 
it.  But, perhaps our town is not yet ready for such a sport.                
                                                                             
                                                Carl Westberg Jr.
