OFF FIELD ISSUES
Apr 17, 2008 | 2:26PM | report this

Hey Peeps! Here's a question for all of you. Do we as sports fans allow too much BS or should I say, do we ACCEPT too much BS from the major sports teams? Hey lets look at this. Im not a baseball fan anymore and havent been for years, but do you baseball fans ever think with the steriod issues and all the talk with congress that your being cheated by MLB? I mean you support your respective teams, you buy your favorite players jersey's and enroll your sons in little league in hopes they develop a love for the game like you and maybe one day they will buy you that big mansion you always wanted. Then there's Selig and his hinchmen that does nothing about steroid use in their sport. Say what you want but the punishment they try to implement is nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Then there's the NBA, heck you have ref's shaving points. Making bets on teams they are calling the games for. Giving betting info to mobsters. Good grief, how can you possibly sit there and not question a no call, or a game changing call in the last seconds of a close game that might have playoffs implications. What does the NBA do about it? Well to be honest, NOTHING!

Now lets get to the NFL. Your a GM, your wanting to draft this stud out of MEGA STATE U but he's had a few off field issues with the law or even possibly smoked a little gunja. Do you draft him? Better yet, your the owner of a team and you have players behaving badly but their mega stars on your team. Do you suspend them? Do you trade them. There are many things to consider when your catching flack from the fans that buy your tickets and are sick of the actions of your players. Likewise Im sure the other players on the team are sick of the nonsense of not knowing that they can depend on their teammates to actually be available on game day or the remainder of the season for that matter.

Maybe it's just me, but I've thought about these issues as Im sure you have also. But I guess sports is such a hot ticket that team owners and league officials dont mind turning a blind eye until the smoke clears. We're the smoke people and I say we should take a stand and let these leagues know we dont like what the problems that come along with what they promote.
