Does everything you see inprofessional sports today really surprise you? If it does then you arepretty na?ve. Professional sport is not sport, it is entertainment. Iam not sure yet if it is a reality show, a tragic comedy or aShakespearian drama. Whatever it is it is not very appealing to me. Asfans we have enabled this aberrant behavior by buying tickets,memorabilia, simply watching the games on TV. That may seem harsh butit is true. Surprise, there is gambling in pro sport. I have seenplayers in several sports think nothing of dropping $50,000 in a cardgame or $100,000 in a golf game with their friends. Drugs, come on. Wekeep demanding more and more and there is so much that the body cangive. I really wonder if it would be better to call a spade a spade andopen the whole thing up and recognize it for the freak show that it is.I love true sport, not this poor imitation we have.
