I went to msn.com this morning to read the headlines and on there i found an intriguing article about a sports fan that died while trying to catch a ball. He fell almost 20 feet from the stands at the rangers stadium during the ball game. Apparently one ball player hit the ball into the stands during the second inning, while trying to dive to retrieve the ball the man fell over the side to the ground. I can only imagine what he was thinking, and i can only guess that the exctiment he had about catching that ball overpowered his better judgment. As horrible as this accident is it makes me wonder if sports are getting to serious. Even though sports can be entertaining to watch i have never been an amid sports watcher. i know some people that make sure they clear and make their schedules around their favorite sports shows and events. Some of these individuals take these extremes even further, and sometimes people can get so excited that they forget to actually think before they act.I just hope that people remmember that sports can be entertaining without being overly competitive.
