    Soccor referee punched by 17yo and then dies

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/utah-soccer-ref-punched-coma-teen-player-dies-article-1.1335459 To me, that is profoundly sad. And sobering in a way. Life is not virtual reality. Even 17 year olders need to be responsible, and I suspect the kid is realizing that. This is one of...

    Atlanta Braves Tomahawk Chop

    That Tomahawk Chop thing they do at the Atlanta Braves games seems so barbaric and negative. It seems to be that it is counter productive in the Braves organization trying build a winning team. If I were living down there and had a family with young kids I would think it would be child abuse...
