If I am granted something for the New Year in Sports, it would be a return to the fields or courts of competition. I, like so many others I suspect, am so tired of sports playing out in the boardrooms and courtrooms around the country. I love the competitive aspect of all sports, but have grown weary of stories, like Jerry Sandusky, the labor standoffs, free agency fights, rising prices to attend games, spoiled athletes, boorish behavior from owners and the myriad of items that have infiltrated the sports pages around the country. These are all issues that we face in society and I am not advocating for us to ignore or sweep them under the rug (See Penn State). I am just hoping that the people, who compete, own or manage our sports teams will start to look at the responsibilities that come with high profile people. Our political figures are still working on this also. I just want to sit back, have an ice cold beer, some healthy (yeah right) snacks and enjoy the on the field events. Is that too much to ask for? I hope not.
I will be taking the next couple of days off to enjoy Christmas with the people that matter most to me, my family. To my readers I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or a Happy Holiday.
