Great! I've always really disliked this saying.
'An Ernest Hemingway aphorism is cited endlessly by revheads, hill climbers and animal taunters: ''There are only three real sports: auto racing, mountaineering and bullfighting. The rest are games.''
Alas, Hemingway scholars have found no evidence that ''Papa'' ever said such a thing. The line was more likely from Barnaby Conrad or Ken Purdy but they are less famous, and memorable quotes invariably migrate up the celebrity food chain.'
