Sports that once had a good chance of helping turn a bad kid into a good one now stand a better chance of turning a good one petulant and selfish.Īnd the same media folks who applaud those who play with “swagger” today lament another eruption such as Thursday’s.

It’s a blood sport played by far too many who demand unconditional respect in return for none. The NFL has again arrived at where it has been headed. It’s easy to pontificate about the street brawl near the end of Thursday’s Steelers-Browns. Not even rule analysts can make sense of NFL's mindless review systemīilly Packer was center of ridiculous backlash as sports world began decline NBA has coddled every whim of 'disrespected' Kyrie IrvingĬlassless Bengals-Chiefs trash talk latest sign incivility taking over sports Roger Goodell's Super Bowl halftime show remains staggering display of NFL hypocrisy
