Jazz is musical improvisation; it is the art of the moment. In the recording of jazz, the inspiration and inventiveness of this moment is made permanent by technology, giving pleasure many years after the performance.

wrestling was considered a real sport in the 1950s

some people would argue that at least some college basketball games and harness races are suspect, as well
"Peter Kiewit looked for three things in hiring people. He looked for integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if a person didn’t have the first…that the latter two would kill him. Because if they don’t have integrity, you want ‘em dumb and lazy. You don’t want ‘em smart and energetic.”

In basketball, shaving a few points here and there exists at lower levels but I don't know how widespread - so says my galavanting, high rolling. Vegas-sends-a-plane-for-them buddies.

But the ponies? Having witnessed a few of the most obvious examples in harness racing and has having benefited from a couple of thoroughbred "tips' over the years....I'd say it exists without argument at all.

And Haystack Calhoun. I also thought that The Iron Sheik and that crazy American Indian who did war dances were pretty believable as well.
