Well...to each his own. I see today you have posted on a thread related to the final four. I guess, if one were not interested in the FF, one could ask you the same question. WHy, with more important things going on in the world, should anyone care about who plays in or wins the NCAA tournament? Because it's a free country?

Again, to each his own.

Excellent (and polite!)response. College basketball is, well, college basketball. At least this case raises important societal questions about the criminal justice system and the sickness of certain elements of society.

Of course anyone can express whatever they want - that is not the point. The point is why you choose to express what you express. If you want to have a "worthwhile" contest regarding a national sports championship versus a sordid murder story - ok. What is worthwhile and positive about the van Dam story?

Athletic competition is the epitome of what this country is all about: excellence under pressure; hard work; pure competition; all out effort; application of intelligent strategy; outcome based upon talent, effort, preparation, etc.
