TOPIC: Professional athletes...

Yet another reason to hate professional athletes...if you've watched or listened to any sports broadcasts today, you've heard the story of Frankie Francisco, a relief pitcher with the Texas Rangers...late in the game against the Oakland A's, a fracas erupted, but it wasn't between the Rangers and the A's...it was between the Rangers and the fans of the A's...apparently there were some fans mouthing off to the pitchers that were in the bullpen, and one of the pitchers lost it...he and some of the other pitchers started to go after the fans...and then, out of nowhere, Frankie launches a chair into the stands and hits a lady in the face, breaking her nose...now I know, fans can be idiots...I've witnessed some of them, especially since I watched games from the old Dawg Pound in Cleveland...but couldn't other measures have been taken, like having security remove the fans or simply ignoring them...but no, the athletes think they have certain rights and are above the law...I was glad to hear that he was arrested and not just suspended...not only is this another reason to hate pro athletes...it's also another reason why the new Commissioner of Major League Baseball should be my cousin's husband, Cleveland attorney Stephan Schlegelmilch, Esq...if there is one person that can fix baseball's problems, it's him...Schleg for Commish...
