ESPN is reporting that the NFL lockout is coming to an end. Thank God we got to the bottom of that. Its really difficult for me to watch millionaires battle billionaires for billions of dollars and have any concern. Now I'm all for fair labor contracts and all of that but I think something else was in play for the last 131 days.
The NFL is doing exactly what they have been doing successfully for years, extending their season. They generally succeed in making their season longer than the 16 games they are given. This summer was no exception and football was on our minds the entire time. Despite a ton of great sports we have had this summer, we have been directed to football at the top of every sportscast. I feel we have used to help keep the rich rich yet again.
Another sports story I think none of us should care about is the firing of Tiger Woods' caddy/coach. Is it not apparent that as soon as Tiger is out of the picture for a minute and golfers actually start to play golf again that he surfaces?
My request is this, give attention to the athletes that are actually playing! My only concern is those poor ESPN guys. What will fill time on Sports Center now? Maybe sports.
