Agreed. This image bothers me tremendously.
What bothers me even more are sportscasters such as Bob Costas feeling the need to stand on his personal Soap Box to lecture about this topic; to lecture about child abuse; to lecture about changing team names that have become controversial.
I watch network, cable, and satellite sporting events to enjoy the sport.....not to discuss/listen to current events.
I watch network, cable, and satellite newscasts to learn about current events.
I refuse to listen to the Talking Heads behind the sports desk any more.
