Sports reporting gone wild...

I found myself growing sad when I learned that an obscure college athlete from an unknown college had a leg strain and was vacationing in Mexico. Sports reporting has become ridiculous--there are too many stories out there that don't concern the general public. It would be nice if major sports networks reported significant news stories and stuck to them. I do not need to learn that a fifteen-year-old tennis player in Tibet is practicing in Florida and has won five consecutive sets. The other day I learned of a baseball player who was taken in the eighteenth round of the draft; his favorite movie is E.T. and he loves small animals.
