| The February 24 sports section of the CDT gave me all the
more reason to continue my boycott of all professional sports. Sometimes I find it difficult to distinguish between the court briefs of Centre County [Pennsylvania] and the sports section because of the crimes committed by particular players. The paper continues to reveal the insanity of Tyson, and now reports the staggering amount of profanity, obscenity, and immoral activity by WWF, the most contemptible of all sports. But to further anger me was to see that Mark McGwire, who I thought might be of a different cut, instead of exhibiting an example of sterling virtue, has landed in bed on screen with actress Helen Hunt. So, now McGwire-idolizing American boys realize that home-runs and home-ruin are both respectable. Illegal and immoral performance has inundated American sports. This world has little to offer the moral minority, and that's why it is inevitable that we look above hypocrisy and indecency and study the source of Morality--God and the Bible. "Search the Scriptures for in them ye have eternal life"(John 5:39). "Set your affection on things above, not on things of the earth"(Colossians 3:2). Upon one thing Tyson and I agree, only I believe TVs should be thrown into landfills rather than at law enforcers.
