    If you want “combination sports,” the networks could always televise sports like Nordic Combined or Biathlon.

    Whoops! Those are “foreign” sports (although Biathlon does involve shooting).

    Auto racing was invented in France. Ice hockey in Canada. Baseball was invented in England. So was football.

    If you want to watch a truly all-American sport and nothing but? Fair enough, folks — it’s a steady diet of the WNBA for you this summer. Happy watching!

    Precision shooting is a very hard sport. 90% mental. Elite marksmen have to train and practice just like elite pro golfers.

    “Are those two sports or a combined sport?”

    Does it matter? Just do it.

    Practical pistol and 3-gun are incredibly technical and difficult sports. Watching those who are really good at them is definitely worthy of TV time.

    The problem is at the time this strip was published, the only really big professional sport active in the USA is MLB—and MLB has a lull in mid-July with the All-Star Break.

    But not to worry—NFL football camps are starting up, and by the end of August college football starts and the NFL season starts in early September.
