Hmmm... You're no doubt right about the sports - I've just never had that experience myself. The only team sports I've really played has been hockey, and usually in that I tend to get mad at other people rather than mad and desiring! :-) (Not to mention the whole unattractive while sweaty thing, but let's not go there. But thinking about it I can see how it might go different, especially in a friendly game.

The strange thing was that I didn't mind Kara being a good athlete - it seems to fit her. It's just that I don't really think it's possible for any amateur, no matter how gifted, to keep up with someone whose job it is to play that sport. The training alone would crush them.
