posting with you because your not combative. I like that. I see your point. My only basic point is I hate sports. I use to love it but seeing to many players doing things that aren't right. I think if they had been taken care of when they were in high school we wouldn't see some of the bad behavior on a national level. I even use to like to watch the Olympics but after the T. Hardin deal I said it wasn't worth it any more. Seeing real basketball players playing in the Olympics that was it not right. So I know what your saying but I can't help the way I feel about it.
