What has happened to our sports?
I am tired of hearing about the deflate gate that has
cropped up due to the NFL commissioner and self imposed game softener. I had
pretty much forgotten about the stupid controversy about Tom Brady having air
taken out of the balls. This to me is so ridiculous that I could not even imagine
that anyone who ever played sports really thought this was an issue. I know that
Roger Goodell wants football to be a softer gentler sport. He thinks wrongly
that women will flock to the sport if it is played with no violence or that
women want everything to be equal. The reason he is wrong is that the women who
enjoy football, enjoy the same game I do. A rough and tough game with players
looking for every advantage to win.
What distresses me more are the players who defend, not Tom
Brady, but the punishment that in my opinion will be overturned. I have said
this all along; people have a dislike for Tom Brady. I don’t know him, and I
love to watch football, but since the Rams left So Cal I don’t even root for
any team. I do think that people feel that Tom Brady has too good a life and
love to see him being brought down to earth. Even players seem to be happy that
the 4 time Super Bowl winner is being punished and his so called legacy is
being hurt. I even heard some reporter saying that he may not be a first ballot
hall of fammer.
Sports are being destroyed by this type of softening of our
society. In baseball a game I played through college, you can’t run over the
Catcher anymore, so not to hurt him. It has created such confusion to the
players that when there is a play at the plate the players have no Idea how to
react. In football, the defensive players have no Idea who they can hit and how
hard they should hit them. In Basketball, they look at the replay for any hard
foul to make sure the player had no ill intent. What is going on?
Sports are about playing the game with little rules, but now
the rules are so many that the game has become secondary to the punishments.
In my business of Property Management in Anaheim Ca. I have
talked to so many of my Tenants who have stopped watching sports because sports have
become too boring due to the fouls and play stoppage. I agree, the basketball
playoffs have become so boring at times I have gone to sleep, only to wake up
when the game was over.
It is so sad that this is happening to sports and I
feel that if this punishment to Tom Brady is allowed to stand, it will be the
start of the end to enjoyable sporting events.
