Sport does not come cheap

THE lift-out sports catalogue headlines “The Gift of Sport”.

No wonder society is facing an obesity crisis regarding today’s youth. It, sport, sure doesn’t come cheap.

Take cricket for example.

The “exclusive” in the catalogue offers a bat, gloves, pads and carry bag for a mere $199.

That doesn’t include a protective helmet, box, thigh guard, ball and shoes.

Try doubling that price, as a minimum.
