According to Supersport, today is National Sick Note Day. They are warning people that there will be a major influx of sick notes because of all the sport on TV today. I have to admit that it is a special day as far as sport. If it wasn't for those "lazy and fat" Proteas it would be even better. As it is, Sri Lanka are playing Australia as I write this, on the 1st of a best of 3 final of the VB Series. The Super 14 gets underway in half an hour and the final of the MTN Africa Cup of Nations kicks off later tonight.
The A1gp is in Indonesia this weekend and today will be 1st practice, in fact, they have probably finished already. Nope, 1st practice will start later. Golf from Perth in Australia in the Johnny Walker Classic. (I love Johnny Walker.) Not to forget the 1st semi final of the Standard Bank Pro 20 cricket.
OK, so it's a busy sporting day but does Supersport, like Wonderbra, have to create a National Day? Let's face it, what percentage of people in South Africa even know of Supersport let alone be able to see any of those pictures that they are raving about? The SABC will have some of the A1 tomorrow and might show a couple of minutes of golf in the news if you are lucky. The soccer will be on the SABC though and that is maybe why it is so popular.
What about the Cinderella sports? Is there hockey on? I know that there is swimming in Brazil, why isn't Supersport talking about that? I will tell you why, MONEY. Easy hey?
