You see the parity. Going into this coming year, we don't know who is going to win the Super Bowl. That's kind of cool. Professional athletes are often portrayed as role models for our youth. I have no problem with kids idolizing athletes.
Sports officials seem to be taking the heat lately for questionable calls.
Take the Duke-Arizona NCAA championship basketball game. That's why it appears it's declined. We just didn't notice it as much 10 years ago. Yeah, they made some mistakes in that NCAA tournament involving Duke, and especially that Maryland game. I don't think I'd want to be a referee or umpire.
