Remember when the integrity of the game meant something? It’s why Pete Rose is not in baseball’s Hall of Fame and why so many players, even in the NFL this season, are dealing with suspensions and the like. Apparently the integrity of the game is not so important anymore. It’s the integrity of the betting line that seems to matter. With professional sports in bed with gambling interests, the game itself is less important and it’s no longer about the game at all. It’s about the money and that puts The NFL IN A HANDBASKET.
The Brevard County Commission reversed itself last night when it comes to sample ballots. It’s an interesting move that tells us a lot about the commission, our Supervisor of Elections and…ourselves. Brevard voters of all stripes spoke out against the idea of letting the commission play politics with election policy and funding. We’ll talk the situation today and in Thursday’s 8am hour, Supervisor of Elections Tim Bobanic will join us to share his perspectives.
I have a bevy of stories about free speech on this WIDE OPEN WEDNESDAY and I’ll get to them if you and time allow, but it is your day to sound off on anything that has your attention.
What’s it going to be? We’ll find out when you call us at 321-768-1240 on today’s BML.
