That said I will watch the 3m highlights from tennis matches, the 12m highlights from Premier League, and the 30m highlights from cycling races like the Vuelta Espana. So it's not a pure dogma.

I was doing an exit interview with an intern the other day and I told her that one of the possible contributing factors of my career and non-profit success was never becoming obsessed with watching sports, so I had free time for so many other things.
