Eight Bad Ideas in Sports
Melissa Conner | Staff Writer
Do they really spend thousands of dollars for these
ideas? What were they thinking?
- The Houston Texans- an expansion team is one thing, but couldn't
they think of a REAL name for the poor guys? Besides, how many teams will
Houston get before they give up on the city?
- Michael Jordan- I didn't mind him returning to basketball the first
time, but come one now. I'll always be a Jordan fan, but how many times is
the old guy going to return? He spent most of last season injured; is he
waiting for a limb to fall off before he quits for good?
- Luge- Whether it's on pavement or ice, it's just plain out not a good
idea to hurl yourself down a course on what is basically a fancy skateboard.
Didn't momma teach us anything?
- Instant replay- If the refs didn't get it right the first time, do you
really think a second chance to look at it is really going to make anyone
change their mind and get it right?
- Restrictor plate racing- So instead of letting the fast cars go ahead
and run, hold the whole pack together at a slower speed and see how many
wrecks we can have in a 500 mile race.
- Strikes- Hasn't baseball learned yet that every time they threaten to
strike, another batch of fans gives up on the money hungry fools?
- Coaches who can't play- No matter how well someone knows a game they
can't tell you how to do something and not be able to do it themselves.
- Winter Olympics- Can we come up with somethign more unfair? How many
countries plain out don't qualify for winter sports because of their
climate? We've seen what happens when Jamaica builds a bobsled team.
