Baseball: On one coast you have A-Rod splattered all over back pages not for his stellar MVP season, but for sitings with call girls and strippers (as a married man w/a child.) On the other coast we have a sacred record about to crumble at the hands of a known cheat.
Basketball: The game was struggling to keep fans attention as it were, and now they have had the entire league's integrity questioned. Ref's shaving points? Organized crime involved? Federal investigation? Embarrassing and disgraceful.
Football: Speaking of federal investigations, there's Michael Vick. Don't forget about PacMan Jones either.
Hockey: No one is even watching, so who knows what's flying under the radar, but every year new teams have bankrupcy rumors. Despite trying to shake up the rules, it seems that most people just don't care about this game.
Now I'm pretty young, but I can't imagine a sadder state of affairs. Even Pro-Golf has come under steroid scrutiny!
Does it get any worse than this???

Professional sports have never been so popular, despite the few, yes few, scandals you mention. It is sad that a referee would engage in anything detrimental to the sport, any sport, but it has and it is, and it will happen again. Athletes, one would hope, would be above stupid criminal activity, but it happens. The entire sport of any type is not injured by the sungular acts of some of its' players, refs.

Regardless in the event that they admit it or no longer, the WWE championships are gained with wrestling. the rationalization they do no longer properly known the be conscious "wrestling " as lots is merely by the fact they do no longer want to be linked with the be conscious wrestling (odd) , and fairly entertainment. for this reason the call activities entertainment. it relatively is done to direct the attention from congress into questioning it fairly is merely entertainment. you may fool congress or the media, yet you are able to no longer fool a wrestling fan. I pronounced it before, and that i say it lower back!! the two you're with wrestling one hundred% or you at the instant are not in it in any respect. perhaps this is why WWE is alienating those authentic diehard wrestling followers, for strikes like that. It makes you even think of that Vince McMahon is ashamed of wrestling himself. This has crossed my techniques for years, and yet by no skill locate any solutions, merely hypothesis.
