Professional "sports" in America suck. A ripoff to the taxpayers because most don't attend the games or even watch them on TV. These stadiums are nothing more than welfare for rich guys and subsidies for TV and newspapers to provide them with free content.

And I can't think of any players that's admirable. And calling some of them "heros" as it's done so often is laughable. Seems like a lot of gangster types and druggies. Especially in basketball. The only sports figure I can see that has anything admirable about him is Lance Armstrong. And all he needs is a bike.
