SPORTSMANSHIP?

HOW LOW HAVE THE MIGHTY FALLEN? AS LOW AS THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES PLAYING THE AKRON ZIPS IN AN OPENING GAME OF FOOTBALL. ZIPS? ZAPPED BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, THE GRIDIRON HAS COME DOWN TO NAMBY PAMBY NAME-CALLING. IT HAS FORCED THE RE-NAMING OF TEAMS FROM THE REDSKINS, DEVILS OR MARAUDERS TO PERKY, PREPPY, INNOCUOUS MONIKERS LIKE CAVALIERS OR ZIPS. WHAT AN INSULT TO A WARRIOR’S INTELLIGENCE. COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAMS LIKE OHIO STATE ALSO SCORE LOW IN FAIRNESS BECAUSE THEY PAY OFF A SACRIFICIAL LAMB LIKE THE ZIPS IN ORDER TO SCORE A VICTORY EARLY IN THE SEASON. ZIPS, WITHOUT PRIDE, DON'T CARE BECAUSE THEIR PAYOFF PAYS FOR THE TEAM'S UPCOMING SEASON OF PLAY. THE WINNER WINS BIG; THE LOSER WINS BIG TOO. HOW APPROPRIATE THAT BUCKEYES ARE NUTS! IN THE PRAYER OF A SPORTSMAN, STANZA ONE READS: "IF I SHOULD LOSE, LET ME STAND BY THE ROAD/AND CHEER AS THE WINNERS GO BY!" POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND SPORTS' SCANDALS HAVE SHOWN THAT SPORTSMANSHIP HAS BEEN PASSED OVER IN FAVOR OF VICTORY AT ANY COST
