How to kill a sport

[Paddaman]

I am involved in a number of different sporting codes, and have been persuaded against better judgement to serve on various club and union committees over the years. In each role, in every sport code, the question always arises "so how do we make this sport grow?" also asked "How do we develop this sport?" As a social scientist of sorts, I realise that it is often sounder to disprove something than to prove it. So often proving something actually proves nothing (go figure). So the question should be "How do we kill sport?" and when we determine this , then do the opposite to get the opposite effect. So what are the TOP 10 WAYS TO DESTROY A SPORT 1. Over regulation
