Sportscasters and their blow...

Sportscasters ought to be careful with their parlance. Telling their viewing audience that the best player on the team needs to go back to the bench to catch a little blow does not go over so well in our society. These reporters might want to modify their language...perhaps it would be more acceptable if they state the athlete was fatigued and needed a little rest. The manipulation of words might allow the fan to walk off blithely to the cabinet to prepare a popcorn bag in the microwave. The continued use of a lil blow has had some adverse reactions, mainly forcing some viewers to gag on their cheese dip or throw small objects at the television set.

I had to ask some sports fans about the poor choice of words. One stout-hearted man, who still wore his championship shirts from the early 1980s, replied: "It's an outrage. I am a man and don't want to heart that. He needs to be fined immediately for talking like that. " Another face-painting fanatic was not so kind: "Oh...the poor millionaire needed a lil blow. I do too...it's been like ten months and I am about to explode."
