Yes! On an earlier thread on this subject I offered the same thought and pi$$ed off some couch potato. The world is on fire and this is important? Take this crap over to Sports Illustrated.

I came on this thread to make a similar point, but you beat me to it. It's shocking how much bread and circus crap gets posted here, and how emotionally involved these couch potatoes are when "their" team is involved.

And this guy was telling me that if I didn’t like it that I should just “keep it to myself!”
He reminded me of a former employee I had (who was a professional engineer yet) back when OJ Simpson got off who told me that “he knew for a fact that OJ didn’t do it due the the fact that he was a sports figure.”

To elevate sports to the level of the real issues of the day is just another example of how far we have fallen as a thinking people.
