Question of the Week

Sporting event or concert?

Dennis Larkin, 61, retired municipal scoreboard electrician

Allegedly keeping score at 27 Overtime Circle, Akron, OH

Sporting event. At a concert, if the band is terrible, everyone politely pretends otherwise. At a ballgame, 30,000 people will immediately inform a complete stranger that he has failed at his profession. There is an honesty to that.

Carla Jennings, 48, freelance wedding playlist negotiator

Allegedly listening from 114 Encore Avenue, Tucson, AZ

Concert. Nobody has ever asked me to study league standings before enjoying a guitar solo. I arrive, somebody plays music, I applaud, and eventually everyone goes home. Civilization should strive for more transactions this simple.

Harold Fenwick, 72, former bowling alley shoe inventory supervisor

Allegedly choosing seats at 6 Upper Deck Drive, Scranton, PA

Sporting event. I like knowing there will be a winner, a loser, and several thousand people convinced the officials are personally conspiring against them. Concerts rarely offer that kind of emotional structure unless the parking lot is badly managed.
