Sports??????????

After coaching another basketball game I am left to wonder about the state of sports in this day and age. When did the sports of old change into what we are left with today. Why do we have to add gimmicks to keep the attention of the fan? Why is it that in college and high school when you don't hustle or you don't play well you get pulled out and your new privilege is to sit on the bench, but in the pro's you never lose playing time and sometimes your minutes might go up(because someone who huslted got hurt). The interesting thing is that not only do we accept this we encourage it. Why is it that my JV boys basketball team works harder on defense than Mike Bibby. I understand that it is supposed to be "entertainment", but shouldn't it also resemble the original sport. Maybe the owners have it all figured out, maybe they know that since everyone has ADHD that they can't look at the game long enough to know what is going on. Don't get me wrong I enjoy special effects, but usually I limit them to my movies or TV shows. Well there are some random thoughts about how frustrating pro sports are. If you have any comments feel free to leave them .
