JRut,
I certainly had no intention of offending you with my comments above, so I hope it didn't come across that way. I generally try to avoid offending people when I post (I said generally, not always). I come here primarily to learn - occasionally to help other people who are trying to learn. I think differences of opinion are a good thing and spirited debate can be quite constructive. As in this case, where I was wrong and I learned something I didn't know.
I agree with your comments about professional sports being entertainment businesses, the sensational is what the majority want to see, and the sports media tends to feature that which is most sensational and controversial. Such is the world we live in. I sometimes wish it weren't so, but I realize that it is.
Later.
JM
