American Kitefliers Association

Not everyone likes kites like we do.Everyone has a right to their opinion we don't have to agree with them. My daughter thinks kites are stupid too. I don't hold it against her.

Already sent them my email in support of the benefits.  Included the AKA link to the world calendar... April's looking like a good month to showcase how far kite events can spread.

I'm a fan of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption." Today, host Michael Wilbon pointed out that this is "Kite Flying Day." (Who knew? I had to look it up! Turns out it's a real thing, although nobody seems to know why February 8 is Kite Flying Day.) Co-host Tony Kornheiser responded by saying that "kites are stupid."

If you disagree, please feel free to e-mail Tony at pti@espn.com, and express your feelings.

I didn't know who Tony Kornheiser is so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Looking over the writeup, especially the Critcism portion, I drew the coclusion that he is the 'Frank Burns' (MASH reference) of media and not worth any more of my time.

I still hold to my opinion that ESPN is stupid. Ever since I discovered their East Coast bias (2005 ALDS) I've never watched it again.

If it's any help, I doubt any of the 20 million population where I am will ever hear of the station / program / host / silly comment!  A mere drop in the ocean, and now just a part of the ripple...

I HATE ESPN! They televise SOCCER games which I DESPISE!  As a Kiter the Battle is ON for our fields every weekend now! LOL!

Greetings -

As a stalwart Manchester United supporter who was first introduced to the real football some 44 years ago while a market correspondent for Reuters, the British news service, I must share my concern over your biased and totally unfounded despisement of The Beautiful Game!
