Good morning! It’s a weekend, so perhaps it’s time to keep it light, yet still deal with issues of galactic importance… “ORGANIZED” SPORTS The NCAA, the NFL and Major League Baseball have a lot in common. They are each monolithic, inscrutable, undependable, and seemingly random in meting out sanctions. Let me be clear to distinguish between the sports themselves and their overlords. I love major league baseball and college football (I’m less passionate about professional football). Yet the organizing bodies of these sports have an uncanny ability to suck the joy out of the sport.
