I was doing my daily reading today and came across a new rumor that Kobe Bryant was getting ready to file divorce papers. First off I have no idea whether the rumor is true or not and I flat out don't care and neither should you. And that's the point, what does Kobe Bryant possibly getting a divorce have to do with anything in our lives? Will Kobe getting a divorce drastically change his output on the court? That is highly doubtful. Will this have any effect on your life at all? Again that is highly doubtful. Why must we be so interested in a failed marriage? Furthermore there always is a race to get the first scoop at a story. If you were first and you have the story correct than you get all the credit. If the story is in fact false than you just back up and avoid the topic. A CBS in LA picked up the Kobe might be getting a divorce and rushed to post it on their website, then hours later they pulled it down without explanation. Then their exec. stated that the website and the tv newscast are separate entities. Ok assbag, but if the story was accurate it would have been on your newscast that hour.
Arod might just have it the worst of anyone. He plays cards and people yell at him for being a gambler. He goes sun bathing in central park and people think that drastically effects his performance. He walks around with a blond and its reported that he's sleeping around. His wife gets pissed off at the world and wears a F U t-shirt and she's the worst person in the world. At what point did Arod become Paris Hilton?
Where has the sports world gone now? Every week it seems like the sports news stories are more about off the field issues rather than what actually occurs during the game. At what point did we decide that we were going to treat all athletes as celebrities and begin the gossip mill? Count me as one person whom does not want 15 minutes of every SportsCenter to turn into Access Hollywood.
