Dollars and Sense

One of the biggest problems I have with our society today is in sports. Don't get me wrong, I love sports. I love to watch the competition and seeing these men doing seemingly superhuman feats. The problem I have with sports is the over-commercialization and over-hyping of athletes by their agents, and themselves. I think that it is absolutely sick how so many athletes are getting paid so much for what they do. I did …

…house they created the game in. The athletes were just like everybody else. The character "Squeak" Scolari had the best line. He said "This is a game where men with bad backs and bad knees could compete on the same field as guys juiced up on steroids". It sort of says anyone could do this, giving the game a strong blue-collar appeal. I just hope that someday we do start over like in the movie.
