1. Professional Sports Collapse? - Gather.com : Gather.com
I'm not sure how many of you follow the latest news in professional athletics, but football has made
the front page again with a cheating scandal about patriots coach Bill Belichick.
I believe that proffesional sports is going through
a major crisis. The question is wheather anyone
cares? It seems to me that when such a huge
quanity of money is dumped into anything,
coruption is bound to follow. I believe that is
what we are seeing today in professional sports;
athletes are doing steroids, cheating, and
anything else they can think of to gain an edge in
a market for millions https://de.pinterest.com/ of
dollars. OUr children are watching all of this.
What do we tell them? In the past atheltics was a good avenue for children, with its percieved codes
of honor and integrity. Now kids can hear these stories everyday on the news. Sports center
seemingly thrives on the scandals in the same way that tabloid mags drink the spilt blood of
celebrities. At what point is it enough, at what point does peoples interest wane? Even my beloved
soccer is rought with scandals abroad. I think that http://nypost.com/sports/ maybe golf was one of
the last vestiges for honor and integrity in sports, but as more money is thrown there way, golf is
sure to follow down the yellow brick road to corruption city.
I would love to here more thoughts on this subject.
