Importance

As I sit here and watch ESPN I am shocked at what has become important in the country today.  As the NFL is in labor talks over their collective bargaining agreement, but the ridiculous thing is that the federal government is feeling the need to intervene with it.  This reminds me of when the government felt the need to help baseball with steroids.  In my mind there are so many more important things for the government to be focusing on than professional sports, especially when the economy is in the shape that is in.  As big a sports fan as I am I think it is a farce that the government is helping with these sports as the situations within the sports are not only laughable but it has to extremely humiliating that the sports cannot figure there problems out themselves.  It really shows that the focus of the future of this nation is on entertainment and not anything of any importance.  As funny as it can be it is actually really sad, and needs to be changed before something drastic does happen.
