Top 10 reasons Why Rapier Is Not A Sport

Even when Sheep Dog handling and Cheerleading become Olympic sports, rapier won’t.
Our training manuals are 400 years out of print.
No NCAA sanctions for recruiting violations.

The “babes” & “beefcake” at our events are covered from neck to foot in yards and yards of brocade.
No “60 Minutes” expose on the rapier/steroid connection.
No sponsorship offers from Nike – not even one – and no Nike brand bucket tops.
We don’t get a spot on ESPN2, even though caber tossing does!
