Sorry in advance for the rant. Those of you who know me well, know I am completely uninterested in professional sports of ANY type. However, it is impossible to live in our society without becoming aware that these sport players are overpaid and over-valued and all for the wrong reasons! The NFL players who have recently been in the news for everything from accusations of child abuse to video of physical abuse of spouses and significant others. The punishments seem more determined by the "star" value of the perpetrator than the crime and a great deal of public opinion seems a major factor as well! Are we all NUTS?? Today's brouhaha is over a player who, after making a touchdown ( I'm uninterested, not ignorant), bowed his body in thanks to the Higher Power he respects! And he is CASTIGATED for this!! Wake up people! We are closely following the path traveled by Rome toward self destruction! We have NO moral code! I am NOT referring to same s*x marriages! Love between people, no matter color, religion, gender us something to treasure. We have lost any sense of right and wrong when we can excuse blatant misbehavior simply because it is perpetrated by a rich, popular sports or political figure; and we look down on those who credit something greater than themselves for successes. Sorry my rant was so long.
