RIZZO: There’s More than Sports

by Michael Rizzo
We’ve become a nation too obsessed with sports. Imagine if colleges demanded the same results from their professors as their football coaches. As far I know how many fantasy football games you’ve won, is not a criteria used in determining entrance into Heaven. I don’t think there is anything wrong with sports, and certainly they’re great for young people. I’ll even say this area has a mini crisis when it comes youth participation. But in general somewhere along the line things are becoming wacky. More adults are focusing on season tickets and points spreads, then raising a family or other aspects of life. Hopefully in 2011 you keep things in perspective and have a great year, with or without a championship, Happy New Year everyone.
