Plethora of Scandal in Sports

I saw part of the 3 Amigos last weekend, hence the use of Plethora.

In the past there seemed to be some sort of scandal occasionally happening in the world of sports, with long breaks in between. The times seem to be over where there was no crap involved and story was the games.

Over the past month there has been the continuing steroids in Baseball with Barry Bonds approaching the home run record, Michael Vicks supposed dog fighting allegations, NBA referee betting on games that he influenced the outcome, and the normal stories about the Tour de France. At least the stories with the Tour de France is not involving any American riders, but this is probably due to that there isn’t any left in the race.

Since there are more scandals lately, I believe there is so much talk on these stories due to a simple reason. There is nothing worthy of reporting once the NBA season is over (aka, the summer months). I think they need to move around the schedules of a few sports to accommodate this slow time. How about keeping college football with the current schedule and move the NFL season right after the college seasons ends. There would be foot ball almost year around, giving all sports writers an alternative subject matter. Or the NBA could be moved, so the finals are right before the beginning of football season
