I could make the analogy that more people go to Disneyland every year then Senna's grave. How does that sound, To compare your "hero" to a meaningless place of commercialism? Same deal for me. It's fucking pathetic to compare in any manor, a person who got paid millions of dollars to drive a car, to a man who lead the free world, fought communism, and fended off a nuclear holocaust. BTW, I'm a Senna fan, and I named my dog Senna ![]() Quote:

Senna may not be a hero to you, but he is to more than 190.000.000 Brazilians. I am into respecting cultural differences so I will refrain from making any negative comments on the way some Americans view the world beyond their borders.

The Blue-Ray release is what I'll have to purchase, but a theater does seem to be a most appropriate venue to view the movie-documentary.

If you think for a minute that Senna didn't change the world, you're mistaken. He blew past the earthling label of "hero" to ascend to demi-god status among millions if not billions; especially so where the Japanese and Brazilians are concerned. JFK never enjoyed such respect and adulation from about the globe. However, try this on for size: IF there had been a Twitter network in the early 90's, I cannot imagine anyone in sports, politics or entertainment of that era being able to pull in a greater following than the man who you say "was just a great racing driver."

![]() I've met many a compatriot that cannot wrap his arms around the idea that sports in America -- baseball, football and basketball -- have been eating the dust of soccer and F1 where the number of fans/followers of sports is the subject. As much as I like football, I realize that it is a tier two sport when juxtaposed to soccer or F1. We're talking about billions that follow the #1 and #2 sports as opposed to millions that follow everything else.

So I guess you never made a joke about Osama Bin Laden?

I think the Ohio comment was meant as a joke... Obviously tasteless and not funny, but a joke nonetheless.
I don't think this thread was meant to be a JFK vs Senna debate. Can we get back on topic and talk about the documentary? I can't wait to see it...

Not so much as one. My only comment about his demise was and is "good riddance".

The point of this thread is selflessness, and the celebration of what is good in life with all it has to offer and display. But you do have something to contribute. I guess your comments are just another pattern in the tapestry of life.

I don't watch or follow sports. But I can't stand morons that think the USA saved the world from everyone that isn't American. Here's a little tidbit of information for you; History is written by the winners, not the people who were righteous. I have plenty of friends and relatives that make their living supporting the status quo and convincing simple minded dolts that the American way is the right way. How do you like being a lemming?

Saw this movie today. This is a great movie with amazing footage, including from inside Senna's car. Even wives and girlfriends should enjoy it, given the human interest angle of the documentary.

I agree, it was a great piece of film. Loved it. Saw it last weekend. I'll probably get the DVD as well. My wife would've been bored to tears though.
