I think Craig knows exactly what state the sport is in, be it good or ill.
But from his first day in office part of his role has always been as a sort
of cheerleader for the sport. I think you heard the cheerleader talking.
What is more important than what Craig says to a reporter trying to put
together a story or produce a sound bite about Death of Track is what he
*does*. And Craig has certainly shown a willingness to take every action he
can think of to enhance the popularity of the sport. I don't always agree
with the actions, but at least he's out there pitching. And if he wants to
throw in a little hyperbole about how great we're doing, well I can live
with it.
