If you follow the news, does it sometimes seem as though things are falling apart? Even in the sports world, on any given day a high percentage of stories involve somebody’s problem. Whether it’s the pros or collegians, there is no shortage of assaults, accusations, hypocrisy, cheating or investigations … it’s a disgustingly long list for an endeavor that was originally intended to provide exercise and entertainment. Are there more sleazy characters now or is social media’s thirst for controversy and a 24-7 news cycle hungry for ratings part of this mix? One thing for certain, some things that once were considered gossip are now on the front pages. While this hopefully represents progress, there are times when it’s hard to distinguish between today’s chatter and yesterday’s gossip.
