Speech and Money

Some things are really really bad. I look at yahoo almost daily for stories for my blogging. Today I see another story about money within NCAA football. It discusses implementing a playoff system to prevent schools from paying so much money out of pocket for trips to bowl games. LSU is school mentioned in this article how much money they spent on players, coaches, marching band and school president tickets for the game. The schools are complaining they should not have to spend money on tickets. Although I agree but only in one aspect; the player’s family should all be comp tickets because of their hard work, dedication, pain and injuries to get their team to a bowl game. I think the players deserve this. School president and coach don’t because they already getting a high salary and can afford to pay for themselves as well as their families. Not to upset anyone but this only my humble opinion. If I was coach it would not bother me to pay for my family. I pay for my family now on little league level when we travel to play in championship tournaments. All this is another ploy for schools to make more money from bowl games to put in school pocket for them to spend it unwisely!

 I don’t think I will ever understand how freedom of speech actually works. All you here about is how someone should not have said this and that, how unprofessional, how dare they say that, and the response keep going. I wrote about freedom of speech a few blogs ago and how quick another person is being thrown under the bus for a response to a rude comment. I speaking in regards to NHL Florida Panthers COO responded to a NHL NJ Devil fans tweet. The fan called the COO a butt in good wording terms and he responded by letting her know her opinion does not matter. She took it personal talking about how terrible of a response that is brcause he is the COO. HHMMMMM? I take it this means one person is free to say whatever they want but be careful what you say for a response because you are wrong to express your opinion. I just do not get this. Just because he is a COO does not mean he is not a person. Just because he is a COO how does that make him better than anyone in regards to how he should speak? This is ridiculous. The NJ Devils fan called him an improper name and he let her know he wasn’t going to accept that so let’s move on. Blame the media and holier than thou people who cannot respect someone else’s opinion. Shame on them to act like self-opinion is truth or fact and someone else should acknowledge and accept what they say. All this because as a COO protecting his team decided not to sell a plastic rat for fans to throw on the ice for certain plays made during the game! Really!
