Sports Fiasco

Pretty much the world of sports as we know right now is in shambles.

- Tour de France leader Michael Rasmussen just go bumped off the competition due to suspicious activity by his team (probably they aren't risking him to be tested for doping again)

- Tim Donaghy , NBA referee, is caught gambling on games he had officiated. It pretty much confirms the rumors that the score / outcome of games are determined by an outside force

- Michael Vick , NFL Quarterback Atlanta Falcons, is charged with competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting, and conducting the enterprise across state lines.

- Gary Player, PGA golfer, claims that people in golf are juicing (using steroids) as well

Golf, Basketball, American Football and Cycling are pretty much big name sports that host big name players which have an influence over people today. I mean it's just portraying that in order to be a hit in the big leagues, you need that extra edge which more often than not is illegal in nature.

The thing I'm annoyed most about is the inhumane treatment of the dogs by Michael Vick. I was raised in a Christian family who goes to church every Sunday and my sister is a member of Pro-Life and PETA and has a lot of animals back home. When we were still in school, she was active in a lot of Pro-Life programs and she brought me along to events that usually had tie-ups with animal rights activists. I am really angered/saddened by the fact that these animals don't really have a choice to live just like the issues we face in our meetings / demonstrations. It's pretty much murder in the highest form and I hope to God that this guy gets what he deserves and gets incarcerated.
