Evidently I touched a nerve, eh David?
I have played and watched plenty of sports over the years. I have seen the decay of sportsmanship on all levels during the past 30 years of competitive sports. It is disgusting. If you think that the behavior exhibited by some/many players is acceptable, then more power to you.
I think this guy should be kicked out of the league. Same with hockey thugs, racing thugs, etc. We as a society deify these people and value winning above all else. That is what is sad and pathetic. The athletes are only part of the problem. I can't believe some of the *fans* behavior as well. Its as if their very existence rises and falls with the performance of the team.
And you think that all the PSAs are done because the players are totally altruistic? Man, I gotta get me some of the kool aid you're drinkin'
