Sports Fans

I watch tons of sports, because my husband does.  Soccer, basketball, tennis, football, baseball, bowling, golf, racing, volleyball... yes we watch is ALL!

I don't mind sports, but sometimes it gets mind-numbing to watch the pre-game, then the actual game, then the post-game, then sports center to recap the game... any of you have this occur at your house?

One thing that drives me nuts is that some people get so involved in a sporting event that they lose all sense of decency and self-control.  Death threats, fights, vandalism... come on!

But I love to read inspirational stories of people doing good things.  There are lots of them out there and I wish the media would focus more on the positive rather than the negative.  I saw this great story of a father turning a losing moment into a learning lesson for his 7 year old son.  It impressed me and I hope to have a good influence on my son as he grows up watching sports (and most likely becoming obsessed like his dad).  The story is short and can be read HERE
