Be a fan

Welcome to Trapp's Rant, my little corner of the superhighway.

Major sports in this country have become a soap opera. The athletes are disconnected from reality, speaking of themselves in the third person, holding press conferences in their driveway, and generally making asses of themselves. Oh, and not to pick on the cowboys, but we can't forget about those who so generously "make it rain".

Some look at these "superstars" and blame them for being self-centered and selfish. Let's be honest, most of society does. And they are right, but where does the blame lie. The media makes them larger than life, the consumer has made them commodities and major linchpins in today's marketing world, and then there are those who call them "superstars".

To be fair, these are uniquely gifted individuals who were lucky enough to find a niche which others are willing to pay to enjoy.

We worship them, we crucify them, we laugh at them.

This blog will be my thoughts, humerous, editorial, and predictive regarding those sports, athletes and.................................the media who cover them.


I look forward to sharing my, hopefully coherent, rants and occasionally factual deliveries.

Whatever sport is "your sport", be a fan.
