What happened to sports?
There is hardly a professional sport in the US right now that doesn't have some kind of scandal. Baseball has the never ending steroids issue with Barry Bonds getting ready to break the home run mark. Basketball has the cheating referee and football has the Michael Vick dogfighting. The Tour de France has its own doping scandals, with riders dropping out daily it seems and even the UFC had a steroid scandal, as did the WWE which may technically not be a sport but it's an athletic entertainment event at least. NASCAR has issues from time to time with modified engines, although the drivers don't take drugs to do better. Golf seems okay. I don't know about tennis. Maybe this is a good time for soccer to become more popular in the US, with David Beckham arriving and no scandals so far.
