ESPN had a good sports poll that reminded me of the state that professional sports are currently in.
| Which sport has the biggest image problem? | |
| Allegations of impropriety on the part of NBA referees | |
| Use of performance-enhancing drugs by MLB players | |
| Off-field illegal activities by NFL players | |
It's a world of hurt for professional sports. It's hard to know what to do as a fan. Do we keep watching or do we as fans stop spending our money to support the immorality and corruption that has become known as pro sports? Is there enough good left in these games to continue as fans?

My biggest pet peeve about all of this is that the NFL is given a pass on PED's. How in the world do people think this is a baseball problem, but when Shawn Merriman tests positive and it's largely ignored, but Bonds, who's never tested positive for anything isn't playing baseball. It's such a double standard that drives me nuts. Football players are bigger, stronger and faster than baseball players. But they just work harder right?
that's a good point Tyler. I think the guns, violence, and women abuse are overshadowing the other problems in the NFL right now, that's the only thing I can think of. It's almost like we expect NFL players to use steroids! I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of the league tested positive!
