I love sports. Even though I have no talent to speak of, I have loved playing pick-up games of all kinds. I love watching sports. Watching excellent athletes do things that normal people cannot is the same thrilling experience as listening to a great musician, watching a great actor, or reading a genius author. The experience of sports on the field generally makes my life better. But the experience of dealing with the owners, leaders, and sports commentators makes the games exhausting. This week was an excellent example of that unfortunate tendency.
